"I spent most of my third transfer on extending my house which was previously two roomed and very inconveniencing whenever I had visitors. I had to request for hostage at the neighborhood in such situations which was not just embarrassing but degrading as well. My neighbors lost respect for my family following the frequent times I could seek for hostage at their places. I give much to Give Directly for this far."

"I used my last transfer to buy a laptop to help in my studies, that is making notes and storing information like notes, in addition I also bought a motorbike to aid me in transportation to and from school and when free use it to do transport business. I also contributed part of my transfer to help in rebuilding a house for my mother and I also built a small house for myself 'simba' to get out of my mothers house and be dependent."

"I spent my third transfer on sofa set (14,000 KES) because we did not have any, paid primary school debt for our children (4,500 KES) and bought 6 goats that we intend to multiply to support us pay secondary school when the time comes (18,000 KES).The balance was spent on miscellaneous needs."

"I spent my third transfer on cementing my house into a semi- permanent house from a mud one, now I am free from frequent smearing of my previous mud house hence cleaning it has become easier .I bought a cupboard and sofa set seats .I also bought a bag of maize for my family's consumption and household expenditures."

"I have never paid my wife's dowry as required of me by our traditions, so I bought some cows that I used for this purpose, we are now happily married and staying as a peaceful family. I also ploughed my two acre piece of land where I grow corn being that I had retired, and I am now fully on subsistence farming to sustain my family, have enough corn in my house now. The other part of my transfer I spent taking my wife out for a retreat to relax away from the daily household duties and with our daily household use."

"If I would not have received the transfer, I would not have restocked my business which was almost collapsing and also I would not have cemented my house which was very dusty but all this were possible because of the transfer."

"I spent my third transfer on paying school fees for my children who used to be sent home each and every time because of fee arrears. The remaining part of the money I bought with sacks of maize and sorghum because it was a period of drought and I wanted my family to have something that could sustain them."

"I spent my third transfer on buying sofa set seat , a cupboard and a table.I bought two goats 5000 KES. I paid school fees for my two children who are in primary school and high school respectively , I believe in a saying that says education is the key to success and it used to pain me seeing my children staying home for a period of one month or so while school was in session in search of money from my casual jobs which was never enough and this situation was stressful to. I am thankful to GiveDirectly for giving my children and opportunity to study."

"I spent my third transfer on plastering my 3-roomed house to make it more presentable though the Project is not yet completed (47,000 KES)."

"I spent my third transfer on buying, building materials that I used to build a more spacious house being that I am a people's person and I could get visitors most of the time and the house could not comfortably fit them. My household items were too many to fit too. I am happy as we speak, all my visitors and household items can fit. The remaining amount I spent on corn for my family consumes and cleared a debt of rice plantation I had leased from someone. I am happy I do not have any debts now. Thanks to Give Directly."
