"I used a portion of the transfer to pay my son school fee. I also built my son an iron roofed house because he was spending his nights at the neighborhood which wasn't so secure. Apart from that I purchased foodstuffs for family consumption."

"My life is different in that I now own a large house that hold all my household. The house I had was too small. This was forcing my children to have their nights at the neighborhood. Besides, I now have a home where I make decisions without necessarily consulting my in-laws as it used to be."

"My life is different in that I now enjoy my sleep on the new mattress I purchased. I had some old mattress which couldn't afford me a better sleep as such was remaining awake for the better part of the night. Besides, I always listen to the radio and get news directly from the reporter compared to the days when people in the village used to narrate me of the current affairs."

"My children are in school,a wonderful house and I'm living a good healthy life very different than before."

"I spent my third transfer on starting an Mpesa business 35,000 KES in the nearby market next to my village.I now have a source of income hence I am more independent and from the profits I make,I will venture into developmental projects which benefits my household. "

"My life has changed a lot. I never had any source of income but currently we have one. We run a taxi business with a motorcycle that we bought with the transfer and therefore affording our basic needs is no longer such a big challenge. Besides this, I have acquired more wealth ranging from cows, goats and sheep and therefore I am no longer vulnerable to financial difficulties. And therefore if it were not transfers from Give Directly, I wouldn't have achieved this improved living standard."

"I spent the transfer on boosting my bussines, bought second hand clothes for sale 40000 KES and used balance on transport and daily meals."

"Give directly enabled me move a great step which i would have never made."

"I spent 8the transfer on buying sand 7000 KES, steel door 7000 KES, steel windows 7000 KES, window glasses 8000 KES, dug a bore hole 4000 KES, pit latrine 1000KES and used the balance to buy food for my family members."

"I spent my third transfer to buy 2 bull for my bride price and bought food for my family with the remaining transfer."
