"I spent KES 42000 of my first transfer on paying school fees for my five children. I paid for them on time to avoid being discontinued from their learning. I am glad that they are now comfortably continuing with their studies without interruptions on fees. At least I have an ample time to prepare for the next payment. Apart from this, I also bought two goats which I am currently keeping in my homestead. I am expecting that they will reproduce and increase in number. I spent the remaining amount on buying daily foodstuffs for my family and paying for other household needs."

"It was my helper who broke the news to me early in the morning that GiveDirectly had finally honored their promise to us. I had received my first transfer from them. I felt happy and thanked them for coming through my life, since I was able to acquire living assets like goats which at first seemed impossible to me."

"I spent KES 35000 of my first transfer on buying a dairy cow. This is an asset to me and my expectation is that it will reproduce and increase in number. I can readily sell the offsprings to raise fees for my young children. Besides, I will also be getting milk for my family's consumption as well selling the surplus for an income. I spent the remaining amount on buying foodstuffs and buying new clothes for myself and my children."

"The transfer helped me to pay fees for my seven children and also did some shopping on stationery for them. They were frequently sent home since I had not paid for them on time. They were allowed back to continue with their studies. I am now having an ample time to prepare for their next payment which makes it to be the biggest difference in my daily life."

"i bought iron sheets,bricks and food"

"GiveDirectly helps people by giving them unconditional cash transfers..It allows the people to spend the cash however they want to..This helps in ending some big challenges in their homes.."

"Life has been good since the program cause she has good shelter and good"

"The recipient has no issues with the program"

"I would still be living in a leaking house and struggling to find food for my children but the funds have helped to buy those things we were lacking in our lives"

"my life is so difference as i have bought iron sheets and i have enough food for my family which means that this year i will not be lacking anything as i am well prepared"
