I saved 15,000 KES that I wish to spend on fish business for income generation,though currently the Lake seems depleted, but I began yesterday anyway."

"When I received my second transfer, I saved it as I wanted to purchase a motorcycle that my husband can use for taxi business and this came to reality immediately we received the third transfer, we added it to the second transfer and bought the motorcycle. As we speak, we have income from the motorcycle business, and we are saving aiming at better things in the future. I pray that GiveDirectly helps the others like me."

"I spent my third transfer on constructing a pit latrine for 6,000 KES because we were using the bush before we received the transfer as I had limited funds. I also spent 37,000 KES on plastering parts of my 2 room house that had remained when I ran out of second transfer funds. I invested the balance in growing maize which is the staple food here."

"I spent my third transfer on building a decent spacious newly iron sheet roofed house which accommodates my family members comfortably and having this house gives me a peace of mind as I can harvest rain water from the gutter hence accessibility to clean water has been enhanced as opposed to before the transfer when my previous house was grassed thatched and leaky .I also paid school fees for my child who is in high school."

"I spent my third transfer on plastering my 3 roomed house for 15,000 KES, bought 5 goats for 15,000 KES that I plan to raise for wealth creation. I also paid Secondary school fee for my child for 15, 000 KES because education is paramount."

"I used a portion of my third transfer to buy iron sheets, trusses and nails which I have used renovate the roof of my house because it was lealing. I bought cement and sand which I have used to renovate my house because it was only bricks but not cemented. I bought a sack of maize for consumption. The remaining amount, I spent to buy utensils and clothes for my children."

"I spent my third transfer on buying house construction materials for 37,000 KES in readiness for building a new house and relocating because we have always planned to do this but we had limited finances always. I also gave my husband 10,000 KES that he spent starting a Barber shop since he used to be jobless before."

"I have two children in secondary school so most of my third transfer went to paying school for them. Previously I used to do odd jobs to keep them in school. The remaining I spent on food for my family consumes. I am grateful for the money."

"I spent my third transfer on seats, a table and a wall unit for 25,000 KES since we never had any furniture at all. I also finished paying a second hand motor cycle(20,000 KES) that we had started buying using my second transfer because my husband used to be unemployed, but now he is doing transportation business."

"When I received my third transfer, I had plans of financing my spouse to pay my dowry but since I was expectant, such a thing could not happen. We therefore opted to invest the amount that was meant for the same in livestock. We purchased a total of 10 goats with intentions that we would sell them to purchase cows for dowry payment. In addition to that, we purchased 2 donkeys to help us collect water from the lake. I resided in a very dry area where water was a very big challenge. People walked several miles in search for water which created a very big advantage for those who owed donkeys since they could easily use them to collect water from the lake and supply the entire village. My donkeys were therefore purchased to not only supply me with water for my own consumption but instead be used commercially. I am happy that I am able to collect some amount of money from the water supply come the end of the day."
