"I spent most of the transfer to start business of burning bricks and selling to the community, this has really changed my life being that l can now manage to have my daily meal. I spent the transfer to furniture since the furniture that had where not enough being that l have a big family. I also spent the transfer to buy water container and the remaining balance l spent to buy two sacks of maize for my consumption."

"I had a small house which couldn't accommodate us well with my family so when I received my third transfer I manage to build house for my family."

"Receiving this money means i will be able to build an iron roofed house, buy a piece of land and livestock. "

"The biggest hardship i am faced with is inadequacy of food. The little harvest that i usually get has to take care of all the family needs for example meeting medical bills and many others when sold. This leaves us with almost nothing to eat. "

"My children had been chased from school but after getting my first transfer, I am able to pay for my children's education and I want to thank Give Directly for the support given."

"The biggest hardship i have faced is lack of money to purchase and cater for my household's needs like food, medical care and shelter."

"I spent my third transfer on treatment for myself for 7,000 KES since I was unwell, I also plastered my 3 room house for 21,000 KES to cut down the cost of smearing all the time.Last, I gave my husband's nephew 15,000 KES to enable him buy a motor cycle for transportation business since he is an orphan."

"I spent a portion of my third transfer on a sofa set to furnish the new house that I had just constructed using my second transfer. Secondly, I purchased a solar panel for lighting my house. My previous house was lit using a kerosene lamp which worked well for me because it was just single roomed. The new house being three roomed required a better lighting system and thus the reason for the purchase of the solar panel. I am very happy today that I live like a king in the palace."

"I spent my third transfer on buying a cow for milking, and I am hopeful that it will reproduce and help me in school fees payment when I sell them. I also bought furniture using some part of the money and started a business of fish mongering. With my business, I get my daily income and my children can longer go to bed hungry for lack of food like before when I used to have no source income."

"In my village, the soil is so bad and every time I sink a latrine, it collapses, so when I received my third transfer, I sank and constructed a very strong one. I am happy I now have a pit latrine. Thank you GiveDirectly."
