"My daughter who's a business lady came home at around 1pm while taking lunch. She informed me that GiveDirectly had sent me my transfers as promised and she had even withdrawn because she had my phone with her. On hearing the good news and seeing the GiveDirectly transfers I was overwhelmed with joy and thanked God for GiveDirectly because I had never received such a lump sum before."

"I spent KES 40,000 of my transfer on purchase of building materials for completion of my house.This is because the house had stalled for over fifteen years because of school fees burdens. KES 5000 was spent on purchase of clothing for my kids during the Christmas season. I have saved the rest for payment of construction labourers."

"I spent my transfer on KES 10,000 on latest clothing fashion and school uniforms because my kid's had outgrown their school uniforms. KES 4000 was spent on a bag of maize because my maize stock was depleted. KES 45 000 was spent on purchase of additional building materials like cement, roofing materials because the transfers came in at that when we were already constructing."

"I can say for now it has changed because I have peace in my heart knowing that I have secured land for myself and my family this is a great change"
