"The difference in my life is that I live in a new and stable house which doesn't need frequent repairs. I was living in some old house which could go down any time. This was happening due to financial contraint I was facing."

"I spent my third transfer on completing my house at 32,000 KES then used the rest to buy clothes, shoes and food for the family."

"I spent my tranfer on paying school fees for my children and buying iron sheets and timber for building a house. I am happily living in a comfortable house that I could not build on my own."

"When I received my third transfer, I built a semi-permanent house of 20 iron sheets. I prioritized the construction since the number of my household members exceeded the carrying capacity of my former house and this was a major health and social concern to us. It was just stressful and embarrassing sharing a single room with that large number."

"I spent my third transfer on admitting my son in form one (secondary school), bought iron sheets and built a bigger house with the rest of the money. I bought my son all the required books, uniforms and paid his school fees. I am looking foward for his hard work and good future."

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that I have a decent spacious three bed-roomed house and now my family enjoy spending time it as opposed to before the transfer when I used to stay in a one roomed house with nine members of my family as it was seized and uncomfortable."

"I have to say the biggest difference that I have seen is that my children are able to attend school because I was able to settle their school fee which would never have been possible without the help I received from Give directly."

"I spent my third transfer on enrolling my 3 children in different learning institutions. One had just completed her secondary education and needed to join a college, I therefore paid her enrollment fee and she is currently doing so well in her studies. The second child had completed his primary school and needed to join form one. He too got an opportunity for that and is well settled in school. Finally, I paid fee for a form four daughter who needed ample time to prepare well for her national exams rather than spending most of her time out of school looking for school fees as she did before. Am so proud that all these payments were possible at ago with the transfers from Give Directly."

"I spent most of the transfer to pay school fee for my children who are in secondary school after they were sent home for school fee arrears. The remaining balance l spent on farming."

"I spent most of my third transfer to pay school fees for my child who is in high school I bought two sheep which will reproduce to give me more livestock and also I bought household items which I did not have before but have always longed for."
