"I have been using tin lamp for a longtime and my children could fall sick frequently because of the smoke emitted from the lamp so when I received my third transfer, I spent part of it on connecting my house to electricity. My children longer experience the frequent coughs. They can also study for long hours in the night without fear of the lights going off unceremoniously. The remaining I spent on buying steel windows and doors that I fitted on my house as it did not have any. The remaining I spent on boosting my fast food business. My living standards have moved higher. Thank you GiveDirectly."

"I spent my third transfer on buying fishing nets which were unfortunately stolen .I added 30,000 KES to our communal group of four GiveDirectly beneficiaries and bought a boat engine which its being used at the moment to harvest fish and sell them to make income for our family's .I also bought a cupboard and electrical appliance for my house ."

"I spent my third transfer on building a 3 room house for 47,000 KES because my previous house leaked terribly and was in deplorable state, and so I made a decision to finish the chapter once and for all. Thank you"

"When I received my first transfer from Givedirectly, I became very happy."

"I spent my third transfer on buying a sofa set seat 35,000 KES. I also bought fishing nets for my husband to boost his fishing business and now he is making double income that is able to sustain my family's needs."

"I spent my entire third transfer on building a spacious decent three roomed house and now I am happy since I am no longer staying in a leaky grassed thatched house which was one room with my four children .I am thankful to GiveDirectly for giving me what I can call a home."

"I spent my third transfer on completion of construction for a 4 room house since our previous house was small and poorly structured. I also bought a bag of dry corn for family consumption . I then also restocked my sardines business with 3,000 KES . I had started my business using 6,000 KES from my second transfer, to enable me lighten the burden from off my husband's shoulders. Actually my husband appreciated GD very much for the support and if you call him he will confirm the same. I have grown my working capital to 12,000 KES to date in spite of not doing active business for the past 2 weeks due to political uncertainty as I used to send my products to Nairobi. I hope to resume the business soon.Thank you very much."

"I spent my entire third transfer on buying a pieces of land worth 50,000 KES which I have already put up my own homestead with a two roomed house and I am happy since I have my own place as the traditional customs states since before the transfer I was staying at my uncle's homestead. where I am today its unbelievably and all gratitude I give to GiveDirectly."

"We used our last transfer to build two houses one for my co wife who passed away and another one was mine we thought it would be wise to build a house because we used to live in a small house that could not fit all of us so my husband used the money to buy materials for building the houses so most of our transfer went to building the house."

"I spent the larger part of my third transfer on building a kitchen hence now I am no longer worried of cooking at anytime even when it rains and my children also have a comfortable place to sleep in .I also bought cupboard,household expenditures and the remaining amount 20,000 KES I gave my spouse."
