", Investing a bigger percentage of my transfer on livestock has so far brought the biggest difference in my daily life. This has proven to be the greatest decision ever made after receiving the transfer. It has so far been cushioning us on the small bills within the household - an assurance that we will soon be fetching even more proceeds from the surplus livestock products. We needed an investment which will be paying school fees for our children and at least assuring us of better security in the future."

"I spent $240 of my transfer to built a decent house for my family this include purchasing 14 iron sheets, building poles, timber and nails. This because my had was grass thatched and leaks and it was about to collapse which was very risky for my family. I had a dream of constructing a good one but I could not afford the cost. I also saved $300 of the remaining amount which I am planning to start livestock rearing. This will be my future investment which will help me in case of any financial needs."

"It is the new trend in our village that people are transiting from the old grass-roofed houses to modern Iron roofed one which does not need constant maintenance which is costly. I spent my first transfer to purchase 18 iron sheets, building pole, timber, treads and nails purposely for the construction of a new house. This because the previous one was small, grass thatched and leaks, which keeps me worried about rains at night. Also, I used the remaining amount to purchase 2 pairs of dresses and I bought enough food stuffs for my family."

"I am really grateful for being considered in this program. I was once married but my husband just went away until now he is not returning and that was the end of our marriage. I depend on casual labor to make both ends meet which is really hard as most of the times, it's difficult to find a piece work. I have been desiring to build a house over the past years and I am confident that I will be able to do so with the money. I also intend to buy iron sheets, food and new beddings. I also don't have a piece of land where I can cultivate my crops so I will use part of the money to rent a piece of land for farming and buy all necessary inputs."

"Me and my family's everyday lives have changed so much since receiving a transfer from Givedirectly because i have renovated our house which was in a very bad shape and it was at a risk of collapsing and now we can sleep in peace..."

"I am so glad to be receiving this money from GD. My house is not in good shape. I will use it to build a new house with iron sheets"

"We had no enough food but now we have, as we did not know where we could get fertilizer for the next season it was like a miracle to have this money and we purchase the farm inputs and the house we were living was not oky"

"Before GD came to our village we had Problems of food and poverty was our way of life but now our lives have changed and we are having enough food."

"My house is not in good condition, we fail to sleep when it's rainy season and now we have been able to buy ironsheets."

"I bought Blankets for me and kids and ironsheets including clothes"
