"I saved 10000 KES of my third transfer for use in case of emergency. My spouse is a photographer but he didn't have his own camera so I bought him a camera that he uses for commercial purposes, I also opened a business so that I can have a stable income unlike before that I didn't have a reliable income. I'm happy we now have a stable income and our lives has improved."

"I used my a larger portion of my third transfer to buy both a cow and a bull because I believe in future after the cow has given birth I can sell one of the calves to help me raise school fee for my children while the bull will help in ploughing in the future. I also bought a few households that I lacked in my house."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, my life is now flexible, I am able to to go any where at any time since I have my personal bicycle. I am also connected and able to know what's happening around since I have my radio. "

"I spent a portion of my third transfer on an ox which was to be added to the one that we already purchased using the previous transfers and used in ploughing our farms. Besides that, we renovated our house which was temporarily constructed due to shortage of funds. We therefore purchased steel windows and doors to replace the wooden ones that we had before. We also plastered the whole house which was previously made of cow dung and prone to damages by rain waters."

"I spent my third transfer to lease some land that I have since grown rice. With these rice I believe my children will be able to go to school with the sales I will get from it. Most part of the money I spent on paying school for my daughter who had just joined secondary school. Were it not for the transfers, my daughter could have joined a local day school. I am glad with this money she managed to join a boarding school. The remaining I spent on food for my family consumes."

"The moment I recieved my money, I felt so happy that my plan for getting a plot for my children was successful. "

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, my land was saved from being taken to marry my wife something I was going to take long before completing the payment. Another biggest dIfference in my daily life is that, I now also have my wife fully settled in. I will also be in position to build a decent house other than the one I have."

"I used my last transfer to buy a water pump that I use for horticulture farming. The lack of this equipment made work hard because I used to hire one from the neighbors and when they were using theirs this meant that I fetch water from the river which was hectic. I also bought a diary cow which is almost giving birth and am going to have milk for consumption."

"I spent my third transfer on paying school fees for my children in primary and secondary school respectively. I also bought two heifers that will help me with milk production purposes in the future when they reproduce. They also act like my assets."

"I spent most of my third transfer on bribing for a job for my son who had been jobless for so many years. I was glad that it was at this time when an opportunity featured that demanded him to part with 30000 KES, that I received my last transfer. It was such a coincidence and I really thank GiveDirectly for it. Secondly, I had shortages of so many household items that needed to be attended to. I therefore purchased some bedding, living room furniture and some kitchenware that I lacked most in the house."
