"I spent my third transfer on building a 3 room house for approximately 28,000 KES since my previous house was grass-thatched and leaked so badly , and I desperately needed a house. I also paid secondary school fee for our son for 10,000 KES , bought a bag of dry corn for food since I do not have land to grow any.I also bought a sheep for 2,500 KES to help me raise a herd for wealth. I have saved 6,000 KES to which I plan to add more with the intention of starting a cloth business in the new year."

"I bought cupboard where I can keep my utensils, I used to keep them under my bed which was quite embarrassing more so when I had visitors. I also spent some money on buying a cow that I am currently milking and I no longer have to buy milk. The remaining I spent on paying school fees for my children in primary school."

"I have stayed with my spouse for several years since 2005 without paying her dowry because I didn't have a stable source of income. I used a larger portion of the third transfer on paying her dowry, I now feel like a real man. I bought a cow for rearing and I believe in future after it has given birth to calves I'll sell one of the calves to help me pay school for my child."

"I spent my third transfer on buying a welding machine that I use in my workshop for welding purposes. I used to hire the machine and I could not do a lot of work given that the machine was not mine. I am now able to do a lot. The remaining I spent on buying some livestock that I am rearing."

"I spent my third transfer on building a 3 room house since as a homeless lady this was my number one priority. It happens that I used to live in a rental house with my two girls at the Market Centre where the room I could afford was too small for us. My Employer offered me a room in one of her rental houses in exchange for the whole salary of 1,500 KES that she was supposed to be paying me per month, meaning I had literally zero earnings for quite some time. Fortunately, my employer accepted that I could make chips in the open at her shop verandah in the afternoons when there were few customers, and sell to enable me raise money to care for my children. I thank God that with GD support, I managed to buy a small piece of land with my second transfer, and put up a house using my third transfer and currently I am doing well with a spacious house of my own and I am back to earning a salary. My background is that I was married in a neighboring village before and had two daughters, until my younger sister came visiting, and took over my husband who then sent me away in a cruel manner, and that was how I ended at the Market centre and got a Sales job in a Hardware shop. Thank you very much GD."

"I spent my third transfer on face lifting my house, I bought a new bed, new furniture and other household items I lacked. I am happy my house is now so neat."

"I had started plastering my house with the second transfer unfortunately I was not able to do the whole house so I used part of my third transfer on completion of plastering my house. I bought bedding to replace my worn out bedding. I also built a kitchen where my children are sleeping because they are of age I feel uncomfortable sleeping with them in the same house."

"I spent most of my third transfer on plastering my house which was previously made of mud which was very embarrassing to me as a community health worker. Being amongst the people who took GiveDirectly staffs around the village, I wanted to pick on a project which could serve as an example of the relevance of GD project to everyone in the village especially the non-participants. I was glad that my aim was well achieved and my house has become the reference point to everyone who wants to design their houses. I am so proud and happy with GiveDirectly. Besides that, I paid school fee for daughter in school."

"I did not withdraw all my two transfers so when I received my third transfer, I added it to my previous transfers and bought a motorcycle that I am using for taxi business. I used to use someone else's and I had to share with him all the profits. Now I enjoy all the profits given that I use my own motorcycle."

"I spent my third transfer on building a 6 room house , that we started building using second transfer , though it is not yet finished.We always wanted a bigger house but had no funds."
