"The money will be used to purchase mould bricks inorder to build a new house and it will also be used to buy iron sheets and nails."

"GiveDirectly targets the right people who are the needy. There is also no favouritism in the way GD discharges it's operations. I will be lying if I point out any shortfall with this organisation. It is perfect."

"Give directly has helped me to have the things that I needed after receiving the money"

"my life is so different as i have managed to buy iron sheets to improve my house which is something that i have never thought of doing as i did not have any money"

"With the money we will buy a bed since we do not have one and the rest we will buy house building materials as we have agreed in our house to build a proper house"

"Receiving this money means a descent and a spacious house for my family. I'll use 300 dollars to construct a two bedroom house in the village. This will sustain my family of four plus any visitor who might pay us a visit. It also means completion of my commercial house in the nearest trading center that stalled due to lack of funds. I'll set aside 350 dollars to finalize the commercial house so that tenants can rent. The monthly rent collected will assure my family a reliable source of income. I'll further use 400 dollars to buy two indeginous diary cows for milk production both for domestic consumption and for sale."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is food insecurity. I have been unable to guarantee my family of ten the standard three meals a day. Sometimes my family members sleep hungry because there is nothing to cook."

"Together with my husband, we live in a house that was given to us by his parents following the demise of our grandmother. Culturally, I am suppose to live in this house for not less than three years. I am in my second year and I intend to use the remaining one year planning and executing my various wise spending options. By the end of the said three years, I will have built myself a nice house and furnish it at a cost 60,000 shillings. Additionally, I will buy two heifers at a cost of 40,000 shillings."

"Receiving this money will mean a lot to me because I am a stay at home mum. My husband works as a driver at a near by game reserve but his salary is not enough to sustain all our basic needs. It will be my joy to at least help out on some bills in the house. Red cross Kenya had an irrigation project in my village and created awareness for self employment to the villagers, but unfortunately not everyone had that chance. I believe it is a profitable idea and so if I get the transfers I will first use 10,000 shillings to buy irrigation pipes and tap water from my neighbours. With irrigation I will be able to get more yields from my harvest and increase our household income by selling agricultural produce from the farm. I will also build a small shelter for my chickens because at the moment I use my kitchen and each day it is a struggle cleaning the kitchen area."
