"I used the money to buy building material such as; iron sheets, stones, sand and cement which I used to build a new house. I decided to build a house, because the house I was in before was leaking from the roof and water was also flowing into the house when it rains."

"My life is different now because I was able to cement my house floor. This will go in hand to reducing exposure of my family to respiratory tract diseases such as coughing caused by the dusty mud smeared floor. I was also able to buy a dairy cow hoping very soon I will no longer have to buy milk as I have always done and this will enable me save up more. I will also be selling the surplus milk so as to make additional income that will see us meet other family expenses."

"My life has greatly changed because of GiveDirectly. I would still be living in a temporary house were it not for their financial help. I have now upgraded to a semipermanent house. I am no longer worried in case of heavy rains. I also own a cow which I am expecting it to reproduce and benefit from the sale of milk."

"I spent part of my second transfer on buying a pair of oxen at a total of KES 38000. This has been my desire for so many years but I could not afford it since they were very expensive. The bulls will be of great help for my farming activities and this assures me of getting plenty harvests. The remaining amount of money I bought enough foodstuffs for my family."

"I spent part of my second transfer on buying some livestock such as five goats and two dairy cows. Also, I cleared some school fees arrears for my children since they had had huge balances. I also started a business of selling some vegetables such as tomatoes and kales. With the remaining amount of money, I bought enough foodstuffs for my family and some other household items that I was lacking."

"My life is different in a way that, I am now living in a good house.I am also having a business that can now help me get income for myself."

"I spent 360 Dollars of my second transfer on a heifer which is due birth. 30 Dollars I spent on my kid's clothing, some on food items and the rest on connection of piped water."

"In my opinion GD does well because it has enabled me and most people in my locality to upgrade our houses from leaking grass thatched roof to durable iron roofed houses."

"GiveDirectly does well in ensuring fairness through the provision of equal amounts of money and the same number of transfers to each household in the village. This attracts lots of satisfaction and happiness among the villagers. Thus, I do not find anything that GD does not do well."

"My life is different than it would have been hadn't I received the transfer.This is because through these transfers I was able to pay accommodation fees for my daughter in the last year of her University. I was also able to clear to debts and open up a savings account.The transfers also came in handy in acquisition of food for my household during this Corona pandemic period where jobs are scarce hence no income source."
