"I do not have a proper house which badly leaks during heavy rains and that makes it very difficult for me to sleep comfortably when it is raining"

"I do not have a proper house as I have always lacked money which could have helped me to build a much better house"

"The biggest hardship I face is not having enough money to buy fertilizer to apply to our maize during the farming season. I depend on casual labor to make money and it's always very hard to find piece works every day."

"The second transfers which I received from GiveDirectly, I spent KES 10000 on buying and fixing ceiling boards for my house. I spent another amount of KES 12500 on buying a battery which I am using at my barbershop. Before I use to have only one and when it had no charge, I wouldn't shave and this would mean that I wouldn't make some money. The remaining amount, I spent KES 11000 on buying two goats and a sheep. The rest, I spent on buying some clothings for my children."

"I am grateful for being considered in this program. This will enable me to buy Cement and lime so that I can renovate my house. I will also buy clothes for my grandchildren so that they can be putting on when going to school."

"The biggest hardship is hunger, as a single mother to take care of 7 children is really a struggle i always have to work up each and every morning to go and search for casual labour,the money i always get is not more than k500 and this has to Carter for food,clothes,and shelter for 8 people my self inclusive,i also live in a very pathetic house i can't afford a proper house and I'm always frustrated because i can't fight poverty its too much."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well by enrolling every household. At least, this was a chance for everyone to uplift their lives. There was nothing which was done well by GiveDirectly."

"With GiveDirectly's transfers, I was able to sat for my exams and was able to complete my course which I had no hopes to complete due to lack of school fees. Now I have graduated and ready to work. Again, we were able to build a house which would have taken us some time before we get enough resources to spend on buying construction materials. All these wouldn't have happened without the support we received from GiveDirectly."

"In my opinion all the process were well carried out and there is nothing that GiveDirectly did not do well"

"He used the cash to purchase kitchen utensils such as plates,,buckets and pots..He also bought motor bike which he uses when going to his maize field for easy transportation.."
