"Unemployment has always been a challenge in our country. My spouse who schooled up to college had to work as a casual worker after looking for white-collar jobs and did not get an opportunity. Therefore, his income has been meager to support the family and pay school fees for the children since he is the breadwinner. Lack of money made us have sleepless nights as a result of stress. My life is currently different since I have successfully paid school fees for my three children who are in secondary school. I feel peaceful and proud because I have been able to pay their school fees up to first term next year, therefore, I am certain they will have humble time in school as I struggle to look for more to raise their subsequent terms fees."

"My life has changed now,I sleep in a clean house which is dust free.Before receiving this transfer, I used to sleep in a house full of dust with so many flees which made me sick and I had body rashes.Thank you GiveDirectly."

"My life has changed now , I am building my dream house. Although its not yet complete, I am sure when the second transfer comes, I Will use it to complete my house. Before receiving this money, I had no hope of sleeping in a comfortable iron roofed house."

"The difference in my daily life is that the plans I had of constracting a new house are now going to be implemented. Prior receiving this money, I had no hope of sleeping in a better iron roofed house."

"My life has changed now because my children no longer roam to people's home to watch television. Secondly, the electricity I connected gives me light in my compound at night. I am nolonger in darkness. Prior to receiving the transfer, my children were called all sorts of names because they used to move home to home watching people's televisions . Thank you GD."

"The biggest difference in my life is that ,I am now able to save 10,000 shillings daily out off the cold drinks business I do with the fridge I bought. Before the transfer I used to borrow money and had debts which i was failing to pay."

"I did depend on causal jobs for a living and the income is meager to support all my family's needs since it's just 100 KES on a day. Apparently, we would miss meals and milk to complement our meals, this situation used to depress me as I saw my children miserably hopeless. My life has instantly changed since I received GiveDirectly's transfers in that I purchased a dairy cow that gives three liters of milk enough for sale and my household consumption. I am glad that my children's nutrition status is getting better physically and psychologically as they are all over the compound playing with laughter and joy as compared to before when they were underweight and unhappy."

"The moment I received my money, I felt so deligthed that I decided to first keep law and hide my phone. I was so happy the money I had got would now help me to carry out my personal plans."

"The moment I received my money, I felt so happy that I immediately sent money to pay my brothers fees given that he is in his senior six and will be completing and joining University. "

"The biggest difference in my daily life is seeing and knowing that GiveDirectly really does it's things in a transparent and honest way. They promise and delivere! This has given me a different way of seeing life. Secondly, I am so happy that I was able to pay up my children'spending fees and complete building my mother her house. Prior to getting this transfer, my mother's house was in a sorry state that she even had always move to my house which is also small. "
