Eunice
received a $526 second payment.
"My children would not have been able to sit for their examinations had it not have been for the transfers that I received. This would have left them devastated since they are almost through with their college education. As a parent, I would not be a happier knowing well that my children missed their examinations because I could not get money to use in paying their school fees."

Zeddy
received a $526 second payment.
"My life drastically changed when I received my transfers and is currently different from how it would have been had Inot received the transfers. We now live in a more spacious house that can accommodate us comfortably. Also, my children currently sleep peacefully because of the new beddings that I bought for them. If I had not received the transfers, I would still be living in a small house with leaking roof and my children would still be using old clothes as their beddings."

Joseph
received a $526 second payment.
"My life is different from how it would have been had I not received the transfer in that, I have been able to clear the school fees arrears for my children. Due to this, they have never been sent back home since the beginning of the year as I have had enough time to look for this terms school fees. This has enabled them to concentrate on their studies and I believe that their performance will improve."

Alice
received a $526 second payment.
"My life is different from how it would have been had I not received the transfer. First, I have been able to build a spacious house that can accommodate us comfortably. Besides this, my children sleep in their own house and they have enough time for revision in the evening as they no longer sleep in our neighbors house. Also, I have been able to buy a solar lamp for lighting purposes in my household. This has enabled my children do their homework and revise in the evening unlike before. Also, I no longer spend money on phone charging services."

Chepkoech
received a $526 second payment.
"My life is different than how it would have been had I never received my transfer because I have been able to build a decent and spacious house for my family. The one we had was small and could not accommodate us comfortably. Due to this, I am now comfortable receiving my visitors since I know that they will have a place to sleep well unlike before."

Vicoty
received a $526 second payment.
"My life is currently different from how it would have been had I never received my transfer since I am now a proud owner of a dairy cow. It had always been my prayer to own one but I had not been able to achieve this due to lack of money. I believe that it will be calving soon and I will have enough milk for our consumption and for sake to earn an income."

Irine
received a $526 second payment.
"The transfers enabled me to build a house for my children. Due to this, they no longer sleep at their neighbors house. Also, the money enabled me to get the required treatment and I thank God because I am now well and I can eat well unlike before. I had been advised to go for a surgery but I had not gone for it due to lack of money. I would not have been able to achieve all this had it not have been for GiveDirectly."

Mike
received a $526 second payment.
"My life is currently different from how it would have been had I never received the transfer since I now own a dairy cow. Due to this, my family now has enough milk for our consumption and for sale to earn an income. I use this money now to cater for our basic needs and to pay school fees for my children."

Lily
received a $526 second payment.
"My life is different from how it would have been had I never received my transfers because I am now a proud owner of a dairy cow. Before Give Directly came for enrolment, I had never thought I would for one day own a cow. This is because the money I usually get from doing casual work was not always enough for us to buy all our basic needs and even pay school fees for my children."

Rose
received a $526 second payment.
"My life is different than how it would have been had I never received my transfers since I have been able to pay school fees for my children without selling the only dairy cow that I own. Selling this cow would have increased my daily expenditure because I would be forced to start buying milk. Also, the transfers enabled me to build a decent kitchen for my family. Due to this, I am no longer being rained on when making meals for my family during the rainy seasons."
