"Having a contaminated water source mostly in the dry season has always lead to high cost in purifying water that needs to be consumed. For this reason, I have acquired a water tank which at the moment helps in harvesting rainwater which has brought about the biggest difference in my daily life. I have easy access to clean water at a lowered cost. This has lead to a reduction in fecal-oral diseases that might result from usage of contaminated water. Secondly, I purchased a dairy cow. In a few month's time, I will no longer buy milk from my neighbors since it will have reproduced because it is paged right now ."

"sold the only parcel of land that I had to educate my children who were in college and university since I valued my child's success through their education. I had to request the person whom I sold the land to offer me a small piece on the same plot to stay in for some time because I had nowhere to go. The biggest difference in my daily life at the moment is that I have hope that I would acquire this piece of land which I have partly paid for. This will enable me to put up my own homestead in the land hence I will no longer be homeless or worry of evacuation notice from the owner of the land when he needs to use the place."

"I felt so happy because I have never received such a huge amount of money in my entire life. I was with my husband at the time the transfers came in and I shared the good news with him and he was happy as well. We then got down to work considering that we already had plans on how we were going to spend the money once received."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the fact that I have been able to provide the basic household needs for my family without having to struggle. Not only have I been able to provide for my family so easily but I have also put up or improved my building from mud walled to timber walled building. I feel so proud of these achievements that I have made within a short time and I cannot stop thanking GiveDirectly."

"I do not have any additional goals at the moment since I am still in college and my transfers assist me in paying my hostel rent. This is a good way to take off some burden from my parents who are not quite well off and are already struggling to pay my college fees. I will keep spending most of my transfers to take care of my college needs as I have been doing from the start."

"In the next six months, I am certain that my children will be in school with zero school fees arrears. I will have bought several other goats as well to increase to the number that I am rearing."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the fact that I have improved my poultry selling business. I was in bad debts with my business before I received this money but with the tranfers I have increased my profits from KES 500 to now KES 2000 per day on market days. I now can save some money from my business contrary to before when I could hardly have enough to feed the family."

"My life has definitely changed a lot since I got enrolled in this program. I say so because, back then, I had no stable source of income as I mostly depended on casual jobs which paid very little and were not always available. I lived for the moment focusing on what I would eat for the day and not bothering about the future because there was not much I could do to make it better depending on my environment. With these transfers, I have become a completely different person with goals and dreams, I also live a better life because I am certain that I have a daily income from my motorcycle taxi job using the motorcycle that I was able to purchase on credit after I started receiving transfers from Give Directly."

"I felt so happy the moment I received money from GiveDirectly. I hardly had a wink from the moment I read a message from GiveDirectly. I shared the information with my husband who was equally happy and expressed his satisfaction with the transfers. We then embarked on a plan on how we were going to spend the money to reap maximum benefits."

"I felt so happy the moment I received money from GiveDirectly. I found myself laughing hysterically as I jumping up and down the moment I received a message from GiveDirectly. For once, I was lost for words as I just stared at my husband and children. I lost appetite for sometime as I just tried to figure out the whole situation. After a while I recollected myself and got down to implementing all the plans that I had about the money."
