"I spent my third transfer on relocating and building a 3-room house (47,000 KES) since we had always wanted to relocate as required by tradition but we never had money before, but GD transfers provided an opportunity."

"I spent my third transfer on building a spacious decent three roomed house which accommodates my family members comfortably as opposed to before the transfer when I was staying in a small squeezed two roomed house. I built a steel container to put up my tailoring business and now I am happy since I no longer pay monthly rent hence this money adds to my daily sale as a result I am able to cater for my family's basic needs comfortably."

"I grew up in a rural area where there was no electricity. When I came of age and it was time for me to get married I got married to my husband who lives in a rural area as well and there homestead does not have electricity. All my life I have wished to have electricity in my home so when GiveDirectly transfer came I thought it was the perfect time for me to fulfill one of my life greatest desire. The third transfer I got from GiveDirectly I used in bringing electricity to my home. The remaining part of the money I used to buy a television with so that I can be updated on the current ongoing events in the world. I am now so happy because I can watch news and at the same time my children are able to do their school homework without so much hustle."

"I spent my third transfer on Secondary school fee for our child (15,000 KES), increased my small scale (5,000 KES) business (selling fruits and clothes) because I used to be idle before and needed an activity to help me earn an income. I also enlarged our existing house and plastered it since it used to be small and again it was made of mud initially."

"I live with orphaned children left behind with my relatives who are long dead so the responsibility of paying their school fees is left with me and any other thing that they require therefore when I received my last transfer I used most of it to pay their school fees and the remaining cash I bought sofa sets for my house this is because my last ones were old and worn out."

"I spent my third transfer on buying a television set 8,000 KES .I bought seats and a she-cow as an asset which will assist in catering for overseen emergencies most so when it has reproduced young ones.I bought clothes and full uniform for my children .I also bought food for my family's consumption."

"I am a widow and when my husband died he left us while we were poor. I usually weed other peoples farm in order to earn a living. The money I earn is not enough for subsistence. When I got my third transfer I decided to buy iron sheets which I used in the construction of a kitchen which formerly I did not have. I used to cook under a tree in my homestead which proved to be difficult during rainy days."

"I spent my third transfer on buying cows that I might use in future when need be. They are like my assets. The remaining amount I spent on buying corn for my family consumes."

"I spent my third transfer on plastering and painting our 3 room house to make it more hygenic. I also bought a a heifer ( 19,000 KES) for milk production in future, a bag of dry corn for food (3,000 KES)"

"I spent part of my third transfer on buying steel door after the wooden one I had, had been destroyed by termites. I also bought five goats and a cow that I might sell and get school fees as I still have school going children. Also, I bought the cow for the milk production purposes. I am happy I am able to take milk tea which was not the norm as the price of milk was so high, seldom I would take milk tea even after one month. I do not buy milk anymore. I also bought some furniture given that I constructed a more spacious house using my second transfer and the ones I had, had been so few for my current big house."
