"I had two children in college so when I received my third transfer I paid school fees for my son who is taking a medical course in clinical medicine. When he was joining college, I had to take a loan from our Sacco and so this transfer saved me the hustle to get another loan. The other part of the money I used to buy building materials that I used to build a kitchen. I used to have one house that double up as a cooking place too. So, I thought of building a kitchen where I can cook from. I thank GiveDirectly for the money. Were it not for these transfers, I am scared my daughter could have dropped out of college."

"My husband died and left me in a bad and small house and the termites had eaten the timber and it was almost falling off, so most of the GD transfer I used in building my house, and also my daughter is finishing her primary education in the next 2 months so I saved some of the money too to help out in sorting her joining high school next year"

"I spent my third transfer on paying Secondary school fee for our child to support his consistent learning (10,000 KES), 3 bags of dry corn for food ( 9,000 KES) since we did not harvest much as our land is not fertile.
