"Receiving this money means that I will be able to pay school fees for my three children who are in secondary school and part of it will be spent on renovating my house as I will buy some bags of cement for plastering my house."

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to buy a new generator so that I can pump water which will be used to irrigate my farm in order to grow kales and tomatoes. I will buy a dairy cow using part of the transfer and the remaining amount will be saved so that it can be used to pay school fees for my child who is in primary school once he joins secondary school. "

"My new goal is to plaster my newly built kitchen."

"First, I want to say thank you for Give Directly funds. We were so happy to receive the transfer. I got the text notification at the shopping center and I was pleasantly surprised . So the next day we went to withdraw the funds in as much as my wife was insisting that we withdraw the funds immediately because she was eager for us to have the funds in cash."

"My main aim is that in the next six months,my family will be staying in an iron roofed house. I am hopeful that my life will change for the better."

"Were it not for GiveDirectly,I would still be idling home doing nothing productive. This money made me start my dream course. This is how my current life is different from how it would have been had I never received the money."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am stress-free concerning school fee for my children. We have been struggling with casual work and running to school often to request for more time to get funds to pay. We have arrears that the funds helped us to reduce because a total of 100,000 KES is expected each term from us. We have 3 children in college and 4 in secondary schools. So the burden is heavy on us and we can only pay in bits. Give Directly funds lessened the burden for us big time and we are grateful."

"I was so happy to receive Give Directly funds. I am old and do not know how to read so I told my son to check for me and he confirmed that the funds were on my phone. I am happy up to date."

"Currently, I do not have any new goal."

"I expect to have constructed a poultry house and bought chicken and buy a water tank because the river source is quite far."
