"In the next six months, I would want to ensure I clear all the school fees balance for my children. This will help me to channel the money for school fees on other activities like a business to boost my income. The profit I get from the business will be able to support me well with my family making it easier to meet their demnds."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months to be better because I'm targeting 60 liters of milk per day which will average at least ksh. 60,000 per month. This will sustain my project and my family as well."

"The biggest difference that the transfer has brought into my daily life is that previously, I was living in a house that was in a bad condition as it was leaking because its roof was old and beyond repair but my life now has greatly improved and changed for I was able to build a new and spacious house which I am now staying, courtesy of GiveDirectly."

"In the next six months, I will have started a business. This is because I need a constant source of income so that I can help my husband to take care of the families needs. He works in a college as a cook and his salary is not sufficient. I will use my savings to buy a shop stock that will work on so hard as I look forward to growing it. This will be a constant source of income for my family."

"I received the notification at a time when I was deeply worried about what would happen to my shop since I was unable to restock my shop and recover the position I was financially for smooth operations, and upon reading the message which confirmed that it was money I had received from Givedirectly, my worries were replaced with happiness at that instant and a cloud of peace covered me all day long."

"In the next six months to come, I expect my life to have changed in that I will have built a saloon business shop hence will have more clients hence more income. I expect my profit to help me meet my family basic needs easily unlike now. I expect to be saving something for my future life."

"My life has changed in that after the Givedirectly registration on my name as the recipient, it gave me a decision power in my family because initially, my husband was very disrespectful to my opinion because I had nothing to contribute to the family. I had also lived with him for twelve years without paying my dowry and we used the transfer to settle the dowry that makes me fulfilled as a woman and respected by fellow women in my community. I managed to buy utensils because before I would always borrow utensils whenever I had guests with the fear of not having any cash to buy for a refund in case my children broke a neighbors plate by mistake. The kind of harmony and peace that we enjoy in the family after we received the transfer has re-energized our marriage and we are able to engage in our daily hustles as a family and continued to budget together even on our other earnings besides the transfer."

"My life is now different as I now own a home that I built with the transfers. I own livestock and now my family has food; we do not have to struggle like we used to struggle before. I had no means of income and my husband was a casual laborer who would not get any jobs on some days. We were used to going hungry even for two days. We can now have meals on daily basis as well as live in a decent house. I can also start a business now that will sustain this better life for my family."

"My life has greatly changed. I can now sustain my income and provide for my family with my motorbike that I bought with the Give Directly transfers. Give Directly greatly changed my life."

"On receiving the first transfer notification, my happiness and joy were beyond control and I smiled all day long and felt peaceful in my heart after a long time of worries caused by many issues that I couldn't be able to accomplish due to lack of money."
