"I bought cement and iron sheets with the last transfer I received to help me with finishing up my house that I had started with my second transfer I also bought a bull to help me in ploughing."

"When I received my third transfer, I added more building material which I use to build a new house, since my previous thatched roofed house was almost fallingdowm.I also bought furniture and food for my family."

"I spent my third transfer on a Television Set for 20,000 KES so that my teenage children do not frequent the Market Centre to watch television programs and football matches, which happens even when they should be busy at home with other activities. My fear has been that they would get exposed to bad behaviour and violence in the process,but now I am happy that I have been able to contain them at home.I also bought a wall unit for 10,000 KES and additional utensils for 3,000 KES . I spent 10,000 KES on adding stock my small scale business where I make and sell buns with tea by the road-side, and it is doing well."

"Ummhh ... laughing..**, You cannot imagine where I used to go for nature calls, I used to use open fields or thickets to relieve myself. More so sugar cane plantations, (laughs again, more loudly) so when I received my third transfer, I sank and constructed a pit latrine. I now have a latrine and no longer use the thickets. The remaining spent on buying a television set. I now able to catch up with news, a good example is the news in the political news going on. GiveDirectly has helped deal."

"When I received my last transfer, I spent part of it on buying furniture for my living room. The ones I had were worn out. I also spent some on buying a television set, I used to have a radio and I wished for a TV set making my wish came true. The remaining I spent on paying school fees for my son in secondary. He had arrears that he has since cleared. I hope GiveDirectly will come back to our village and see how much we have changed our life."

"I built a house with my last transfer I bought iron sheets timber for building and paid the builders my house before was small and the walls were cracked and worn out. I also used the rest of the money to pay school fees for my daughter who is in high school."

"I used my third transfer to buy 3 goats and 2 dairy cows, I also start a cereal business to generate my daily income, I feel happy since am no longer a housewife.Thank you GiveDirectly."

"I spent my third transfer on building material such as 30 pieces of iron sheets,20 pieces round poles,25 roofing timber,2 doors and 4 windows that I use to build a house, I also bought furniture and food for my family."

"I spent my third transfer on connecting my home to tapped water. In my area, there is water shortage in my area and the distance to where we get it also very far. At least my old mother can access water easily and she does not have to walk the long distance. The remaining I spent on buying building materials that I am planning to use to build a more spacious house given that my family has grown bigger and we need more space."

"I had a thatched roofed house which was almost falling down so when I received my third transfer I constructed a new house and bought food for my family.I also bought 3 goats with the remaining amount."
