"I have faith in my life my life will be better, we currently eat well in my family and I was able to pay school fees without my daughter staying home for long as others are studying."

"The achievement I'm proudest of is when I had a very successful dairy farming which enabled me pay school fees for my children"

"I decided to spend my money on buying house building materials such as cement, new windows and doors. I had started building a new house but I had not completed the task, that is why I decided to finish the process."

"I used the money to pay school fees for my son and the rest was used to buy building materials like new iron sheets and new steel doors."

"I did spend my transfer 20,000 KES on buying building materials, I as well bought a second hand motorbike at 15,000 KES a balance that had remained previously and the remaining balance I did spend on farming."

"My education was cut short before I could proceed to my secondary education. I had always thought of a tough life a head after dropping out in primary school. I however got an opportunity to train as a driver. After completing this short course, I embarked on a serious mission of looking for a driving license. I recently acquired one and I really feel proud that I can now get some form of employment too."

"Last year, I had a problem of huge fees arears in school. This happened because in that year we made huge losses in our farm which had always assisted us in clearing the balances in time. I had to stay home for close to one month and I felt my dream of getting an education would be shattered."

"There was a time in my life when I had no income at all yet I had my children in various schools. I had borrowed a loan from a loan lending institution and I had just started paying it. It was difficult getting school fees and for once I felt I would fail as a parent. I got over the situation though."

"My children have proper bedding, I now have a functional phone which I was given by Give Directly and I know I will soon have a bigger house since I have started buying iron sheet and my family will be comfortably accommodated."

"I did spend my cash transfer to buy a sofa set that costed 32500 KES inclusive of transport. I paid a school fees balance of 4000 KES. The remaining amount I spent to build my self a kitchen. It really helped me and my living standards have been elevated."
