"I spent most of my third transfer on replacing the roof of my house which was initially grass thatched. I suffered a lot with the grass thatched roof which was seriously leaking and could frequently damage my household items. Besides that, I purchased 20 plastic chairs that I intended to let people hire and give me money in return. The remaining bit of the transfer I invested on maize grains business which is currently doing so well, generating me enough income to meet all my family's daily needs. I am so happy today that I no longer depend on my spouse for any kind of support but instead support him."

"I spent my third transfer digging a well. There is a water problem in our area so immediately I got the third transfer I saw the need of digging a well. The well has been very helpful because now my family do not walk for long distances in search of water. I also sell water to villagers and thus my income level has increased."

"I spent my third transfer buying furniture as the ones I had broken down and were so old. So nowadays my house is neat and even when you get inside, you can confirm that. I also spent part of the money to buy my husband a grinding machine. This is our main source of income and my husband no longer have to hire to do his work. The remaining amount I spent on buying a heifer being that I am planning to start livestock rearing and some of it to purchase a sack of corn for my family consumption being that the droughts had taken long, and we did not have enough to feed on. I can only be grateful to GiveDirectly."

"I drop out of school because I couldn't manage to pay, now that I received my third transfer I offset all the arrears."

"I spent my third transfer on paying rent for my daughters' hair salon business (12,000 KES) which I supported her to start using my entire 50,000 KES from second transfer. I also plastered our 3-roomed house to give it a facelift (42,000 KES)"

"I spent my third transfer on paying school fees for my children who had arrears in school. The remaining part of the money I used to improve my business which was not doing well."

"I had seats that were old, worn out and were not presentable so when I received this last transfer I bought sofa sets, then I paid school fees for my child who was joining baby class and the rest of the money I bought food for the family."

"I spent my third transfer on the acquisition of the new seats. I used to have seats that were very old and uncomfortable but on getting the third transfer I bought new comfortable and durable seats. I thank GiveDirecly"

"I spend my third transfer on a dairy cow and school fees for my children.I also bought food and save the remaining for my daily upkeep."

"I spent my third transfer on completion of building for a 3-room house (45,100 KES) which I started using the second transfer.. Housing was a matter of urgency since our previous grass-thatched house used to leak during rainy season to the extent I had to cover the children using a canvas at night, and to the extent they could not go to school the following morning because their books would be dripping wet! Many times I felt like giving up, thank you very much."
