"I spent most of my third transfer on building materials that I planned to use in construction of a new house in a separate compound. Being a widow, I struggled a lot to feed my children using the little income generated from my samosa business. The income was just enough for our daily food that I could not even save a single cent towards establishment of a home. I therefore had to continue staying in the small house that my spouse left me in when he passed on. Receiving this last transfer therefore opened me a channel of fulfilling the long term dream of acquiring a new house. I really thank Give Directly for the transformation it has brought me."

"I spent my third transfer and relocating to my own compound as required by Luo customs and traditions and building a bigger house there than my previous. I did this to free myself for the education of my children in the near future without the bother of relocation."

"I used 20000 KES of my third transfer on buying a fishing net which I use for fishing because I didn't have any source of income and I could only rely on people to let me work in their boats. I then used the rest of the money to open a retail shop which is doing so well and I'm planning to expand it with the income I get from fishing."

"I used my last transfer to buy two goats to rear and a bull to help me in ploughing then I also leased a rice farm and paid farmers to work on the farm the rest of the money I used for food in the house."

"I was planning to purchase a piece of land and I had paid some money to a landlord using my second transfer so when I received my third transfer, I paid the whole amount and used the rest to purchase building materials that I used to build a new house on my new acquired land. My ancestral land was not enough for me to build my own home. I am happy and grateful for the money as I have acquired my own land, one and half acres."

"I installed electricity in my house with my last transfer to help the children in studying and lighting for the house I also bought iron sheets and one lorry of sand to plaster the house and finish up my house that I had started with my second transfer."

"Having constructed a house using my previous transfer, I spent a portion of the third transfer on finishing the construction of the same house. I purchased steel windows and doors which I inserted in the house. I am so glad today that I have constructed the house and has shifted to live in it. Besides that, I expanded my crop farming which I did previously before being enrolled into the program. I am very lucky today that the transfer has enabled me double the profit that I previously generated from my paw paw and tomato farming."

"I used the whole of my third transfer to buy building materials that I'm planning to use in future for building because we do not have a house and we are currently staying in a rental house. We had planned to build in October this year but due to cultural barriers we'll have to wait until next year to build."

"I bought 20 iron to build a house before building a house I used to live in a a rental house which was expensive then I bought two diary cows and two goats to add to my livestock."
