"I am a herdsman being paid only 2000 Kes monthly that could not sustain my family not even pay my wife's dowry as required of me by traditions,so when I received my third transfer I paid my wife's dowry as traditions require of me. I am now legally and happily married to my wife."

"I was a hustler living from hand to mouth with no amount to save,so when I received my third transfer I purchased a computer and a printer that I have been using to offer computer services. From this I have been able to get some at least daily income and some little amount to save."

"I spent most of my third transfer on furnishing the new house that I had constructed using my first and second transfers. Initially I stayed in a very small temporary structure which could not even fit a bed. I only had a mattress that I laid on the floor where we all slept. I am so glad for the house I own today, a courtesy of Give Directly. I also began a business that I currently run and generates me some daily income for the family."

"I spent my third transfer on a solar panel, a sofa set and a TV. I can say that I was privillaged to acquire a green source of energy that is healthier and relatively cheaper to use and maintain. Through it, I am able to watch TV and light my house without any restriction. The furniture I have acquired is more comfortable too than what I had before getting the money."

"I was staying in a rented house and paying rent was so hectic, so when I received my third transfer, I bought building materials that I used to build a new house. I also bought food using some of the money."

"I spent my third transfer on buying livestock for rearing and some of it on buying food for my children. I thought of buying the livestock as I know that when they multiply I will be rich enough and be able to pay school fees for my children in secondary school."

"I spent my third transfer on buying two cows for milking. I always had to buy milk but that is a gone case as I now have my own cattle. The remaining I spent on food for daily use in my household."

"I spent my third transfer on buying furniture. I had very old,worn out seats so I felt I should buy new ones. The price of kerosene was so high so I also found it good to buy a solar lamp. I no longer have to buy kerosene. The remaining I spent on buying food for my family consumption."

"I had a grass thatched house with no seats not even a bed, so when my third transfer was sent, I bought building materials that I used to build an iron roofed house. I need ahead and bought some furniture and bedding too. I can say that I have moved a step forward in life. I have seats for my house and my children are in school too."

"When I received 47900 KES, I added more money that I had saved from the second transfer, then enrolled in a mechanical course in Usenge. I believe that pursuing a certificate course in the motor vehicle engineering would be sustainable in my life ,even after Give Directly will have stopped sending us help."
