"I restocked my tailoring shop with materials I used to have a tailoring shop in a nearby town but it burnt down and this forced me to go back to the village it was in the village that I got visited by Give Directly and received my transfer, I also used this last transfer to go back to school and finish my O levels I left midway in form 2 and now am almost through, I also gave my mother some money to plaster the floor she had built a permanent house before but the money was not enough for her to finish the floor that is why I saw it fit to help her finish plaster the floor. The remaining cash I saved for my daughter for school fees."

"I spent my third transfer on building materials such as 30 pieces of iron sheets, bricks and 20 round poles which I will use build house, I also boost my vegetable business with the remaining jaount."

"I spent my third transfer on relocating and building a 2 room house for 36,000 KES, topping up my child's Secondary school fee for 3,000 KES since he is a student in a Day school, and also food for my family for 8,000 KES."

"I spent 30,000 KES of my third transfer on extending and plastering some parts of our 3 room house to make it more hygienic and spacious, unlike before when the rooms were too small and again due to being made of mud, we often got jiggers.I spent 10,000 KES on Secondary school fee for our child to support learning, and 5,000 KES on a small scale business to help me fend for my family since my husband is sickly."

"I spent my third transfer on renovating and extending our house that was small and was almost falling, bought an oxen for 15,000 KES and that is currently being trained to hopefully support ploughing for improved food production. I also bought two sheep for 6,000 KES that I want to multiply and sell towards raising Secondary school fee."

"I spent 27,000 KES of my third transfer on paying the last installment for a 1/4 piece of land to facilitate my family in food production as well as building since the current compound is small and not sufficient for all of us.I spent the remaining 20,000 KES on a heifer that is just about to calve, and from which my family will be able to get milk, and hopefully sell the calves in future."

"I had a small house which was almost falling down so when I received my third transfer I build a furnished house and bought food for my family with the remaining transfer.Thank you GiveDirecty."

"I am now stress free and happy. Before I used to be worried and stressed over my family issues and business because I was doing badly financially."

"I was so happy that day and I got relieved that this money was now going to enable me clear all my medical bills and even go for further medical check up. I am really grateful and thankful to Givedirectly for giving me this assistance."

"That day when I received the money was the beginning of my happiness. I have never felt that happy in my life before. I now live like a king in my village."
