"My lifelong goal is to attain financial stability and provide for my children's education. The cash transfers have presented an excellent opportunity to start a sustainable income-generating activity. I plan to continue saving from the next transfers to buy more goats for rearing. By the time the cash transfers conclude, I aspire to expand my goat herd from four to fifteen. I am confident that this dream will become a reality."

"As a young man, my aspirations in the coming years are to build a sturdier house with an iron sheet roof, providing better shelter from the rains. Additionally, I want to establish a more sustainable source of income that will continue even after the cash transfers end. My dream is to keep goats as a form of wealth, drawing on my experience as a herdsman. I find great fulfillment in caring for livestock, and this venture would be a significant step toward financial security and a better future for myself and my family."

"I was washing dishes and doing some house cleaning when I heard a faint message tone from my phone. Confused, as I couldn't read, I asked my daughter to interpret the message for me. With excitement in her eyes, she told me that we had received the first promised transfer from GiveDirectly. My heart leaped with joy, and tears welled up in my eyes. The weight of financial struggle that had burdened our family for so long felt lifted at that moment. I couldn't believe that help had finally arrived, and I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude and relief. This unexpected blessing meant a brighter future for my children and me, and I knew that this small act of kindness would make a profound difference in our lives."

"Recipient completed payment of 4 million shillings on her land she bought on the town council and paid school fees for her children and bought foodstuffs."

"I hope to have constructed my home in a safe area and relocated and also to have started again my coffee business to keep my household running."

"I hope to do business in coffee instead of misusing the money, at end year I will buy land in a safe place so my kids can come and stay with me as it's not safe where I stay now. It would be everything to build in a safe place and my children can come and stay with me."
