"Since I had been jobless for a very long time, getting my third transfer was an opportunity for me to invest on something that could earn for us daily income and therefore when I received my third transfer, I spent on a second-hand motocycle that I use for taxi business, ferrying people and transporting goods in my area."

"I never had household items like tableware and again, I had a brother-in-law in a secondary school who had been sent home for school fees which we could not manage to raise, clear and enable him resume his studies and therefore when I received my third transfer, I spent the money on the items and used the rest to support his education."

"In fact, I got the money when I really needed it; one of my son had passed Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education with flying colors and I was worried where to get money and enroll him for advance level of education in the university till I got my third transfer that enabled him enroll in the university here in Kenya. He is currently pursuing his dream!"

"When I received my third transfer, I bought 3 bulls though one of them died but I am really happy that I have achieved my goal of investing in livestock farming that I had been longing for. I believe that one day, I will resell them to get money for school fees for my children."

"The biggest difference in my daily life now is i sleep comfortably under simple iron sheet roofed house with a mattress. "

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the money in that if it wasn't for the money I wouldn't have manged to join college. This is because I used the first transfer to join college."

"When I received my third transfer, I saved the whole amount in table banking with the aim of earning more interest and accomplishing my dream. My major plan is to construct a permanent house since I have been longing for a bigger and stronger one because the house I live in currently is semi-permanent and too tiny to enable us live more comfortably."

"My life is different in that had I not received the money from Gd by now I would be staying in the center still because our income could not allow us to buy a piece of land and to construct a house too."

"I spent the whole of my third transfer on food. We were really starving following the massive crop and drought that interfered with our crop production but courtesy of Give Directly, we managed to sail through successfully."

"Were it not for GiveDirectly I could have not bought the building materials. Honestly I was poor and a nobody in my community. Thanks to GiveDirectly."
