"When I received my third transfer, I spent it on a cow worth 15000 KES and invested the rest in fish business-I buy fish from the lake in wholesale and sell in retail price in various markets around my area. As a widow, I am the sole supporter of my household members-I pay for them school fees, provide for them food and the rest of the basic needs and therefore I found it prudent to see the way this money can multiply by investing it. I would be glad to deliver the best to my family."

"When I received my third transfer, I built a semi-permanent house of 35 iron sheets worth 30000 KES. I decided to construct the house since I was not contented with my former house which was too tiny to offer us a healthy living-it was overcrowded and poorly ventilated. I paid school fees for my 2 children in a secondary school with the rest of the money and I can say that the transfer reached me at the right time. If it were not the money, my children would have not made it to do their end year examinations."

"I spent my third transfer on cementing the walls and floor of my house, bought an ox at 25,000 KES then used the rest on food and other house items."

"In my opinion, what GiveDirectly did well was the approach that they used by making the village members to be aware of the project through the baraza and also sending the money without involving the second party."

"I spent my third transfer on buying a bag of maize to feed on with my family 4,400 KES. I have saved the rest of the transfer 43,400 KES since I am planning to purchase household furniture with it."

"I spent my third transfer on paying school fee for my son who is in Makerere university. The son who admired a lot becoming an engineer faced so many challenges on raising his school fees. He missed most of his classes searching for casual jobs to enable him raise the required amount of fee. Other than that, I constructed a house in a new location out of my father's homestead. Luo traditions demanded me to do so since my sons who had already married needed to have their houses in my homestead, not my father's."

"I spent my third transfer on buying 2 heifers which I will be keeping for milk. I then bought seeds and fertilizer and planted my farm with corn seeds. "

"The difference that I have at the moment is that my family now live in a clean house compared to the one we were living in before the transfer which was earth."

"Mylife would have never changed the way it has since i am a widow and my children completely depend on me."

"I spent the transfer on buying one cow 30000 KES, buying fertilizer 8000 KES, sand 12000 KES and used balance on daily meals."
