"When I received my third transfer, I spent it on an acre piece of land. I have children but I never had a place for them to live and this was giving me a sleepless night. Thanks to Give Directly for the rescue."

Rose
received a $469 third payment.
"I spent my third transfer on putting up a house. I had wishes of transiting from the poorly constructed house that I had before, but lacked the finances to implement this . I had become a laughing stock in the village as people wondered whether I would one day acquire something worth calling a house. I am happy today that with the help of Give Directly, I have fulfilled my dream that has ashamed all those who mocked me."

Pheobe
received a $469 third payment.
"In my own opinion, I am pleased with the fact that Give Directly sends us money directly but I am not happy with the duration of contact it maintains with the community members- I have a feeling that it should make it a little longer."

Julius
received a $469 third payment.
"I withdrew my third transfer and put it into saving because I am planning to build a modern brick house and I am still short on some cash so I prefer to put the money in savings as I look for the difference to facilitate the construction."

Ruth
received a $469 third payment.
"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that I have my own boat and fishing nets which my husband who is a fisherman uses to fetch fish. I can say that the income of my household has increased to 800 KES in a day since he no longer hires a boat nor a fishing nets for use at work."
