"I am having a child in a secondary school and we had been ordered to clear the arrears to allow them sit for examination, it was unfortunate that I never had money to respond to the order as a result I felt stressed till unexpected happened-Give Directly sent me the third transfers that I used to clear the arrears!"

"If I had never received the transfer I would still be unhappy. But the cash transfer changed our lives, we are happy and healthy because we eat well , dress well and sleep well."

"There is a very big difference in my life because to tell you the truth before I received the transfer I had weird thoughts of giving up my life due to lack of money to support myself, but the cash transfer changed my life alot. I am now surviving like any normal human being."

"I spent my third transfer on building a three room house for 45,000 KES since I had no house at all and lived in my brother in law's house, and buying household utensils."

"My main aim was to construct a house. Initially, I lived in a very poor one-I couldn't even allow Give Directly staff to take the picture of the house. So to avoid the embarrassement, I decided to save the first and second transfers and combined it with the last one that I used to construct the most splending house that I have in my village. It has been a surprise to most of the villagers."

"When I received my third transfer, I spent on a second-hand motorcycle that I use for a taxi business to earn income that would enable me educate my children and put food on the table. I am glad that the motorcycle also helps me in transporting one of my children, who is a lame following a climpsy accident, to school."

"I was doing my degree in Community Development at the University so, when I received my third transfer,I spent most of it on paying school fees. I am glad I cleared my arrears and I will be joining my last year soon."

"I spent my last transfer on paying school fees for my sister in highschool. The remaining. I also bought some bedding given that before I was sleeping on a mat,on the floor. The remaining I spent on ploughing and planting as it was planting season. I am happy I was able to harvest so well. Thank you GiveDirectly for the transfers."

"I spent my third transfer on buying livestock that I am rearing. Unfortunately it died. I also paid school fees for my brother who was in secondary school. I am glad he has cleared and food for my family consumption."

"When I received my third transfer, I cleared school fees balances for my 2 children in university and one in high school. Educating my children has been a very huge burden in my household having in mind that I am not having a stable source of income and even support from anyone since I am a widow. I therefore considered Give Directly's support timely to my needs!"
