"I am currently educating 7 children and this is a very huge burden in my household since we don't have a stable source of income hence when I received my third transfer, I used the whole of it to pay their school fees as a result, they were able to stay in school and sit for their end year examinations which they would haven't if I would have never received the money."

"When I received my third transfer, I started a charcoal business that has currently offered me some degree of financial freedom. Since I separated from my husband, life has been so hard due to lack of any source of income hence the business would be the ultimate solution in my life."

"My life is different in that I will be saving the amount I have been spending on land hire (0.25 acres) for production of maize and vegetables.Two , the land I have bought is bigger(0.5 acres), and I intend to grow maize for family consumption and vegetables, capsicum and tomatoes for sale. I have been making 1,500 KES as profit per season of 3 months, but this time round I look forward to doubling my sales and profit to at least 3,000 KES per season since the land is mine and it is bigger.Thank you."

"I was a school drop out. I scored an A- (minus) but I couldn't manage to continue with my education since I never had an ID to ask for financial assitance from the governement and therefore when I started receiving money from Give Directly, I enrolled for an Engeneering course in a local university hence the third transfer helped me pay some part of second year fees."
