"The biggest difference in my daily life is that am now healthy and am in the process of buying my piece of land."

"I must say that this season, I have really harvested a lot. This is following my third transfer that I spent on an ox driven plough, 2 bulls and a york that enabled me to prepare my farms and sow in time."

"When I received my third transfer, I spent on building materials including 40 iron sheets and timber for construction. I am really motivated to have a bigger house before the year ends since I would not want visitors including Give Directly officials to find me again in the smaller house that they once found me in. I was really embarrassed since they never had a place to sit-the house was very tiny!"

"We have been longing for a bigger house but since we were poor, it had been challenging to achieve the dream, remained with one option of living in the same small house, one that is overcrowded and poorly built, we had been living in. But when we received our third transfer, we saved the whole of it with the aim of using the money before the year ends to make building materials and build a bigger house made of bricks where all my household members will be able to live in with privacy that each of them deserves."

"I was really longing for a motorcycle and I was worried of achieving the goal since I never had any means of reaching there-I never had a stable income but when I started receiving the transfers, I decided to put the money aside inform of savings till I received the third transfer that was enough to get a new motorcycle-Definately, I bought one that I use for taxi business to generate money that cater for my household needs."

"I spent my third transfer on Secondary school fee for three of our children for 19,000 KES , and completion of house plastering for 21,000 KES. We always wanted to strengthen our house through plastering but had no funds until GD supported us."

"I spent my third transfer on boosting my grocery shop for 10,000 KES that is feeding my family currently.I extended my kitchen for 21,000 KES.I spent the balance on Secondary school fee for my child"

"There is a big difference in my life, I am now happier and I have no worries like I did before. I never thought I would ever build and own a house. The cash transfer changed my life and status. I am living a debt free life, this would have never happened had I not received the cash transfers from Givedirectly. "

"I live with my nephew who is a bright orpan. He had been sent home for school fees but since his parents died, he couldn't get school fees from anywhere or anyone and therefore when I received my third transfer, I considered it a blessing giving him the money to clear the arrears and remain in school in order to learn and perform."

"When I received my third transfer, I paid school fees for my child in a secondary school with half of it and cemented the floor of my house with the rest of the money. I was not comfortable living in a house with a dusty floor and that is why I prioritized its renovation. My child is also able to stay in school and learn all the time as opposed to before since I am owing the school nothing at the moment."
