My new goal right now is to look for enough money that would see me be able to take my husband to hospital for a procedure. Had I known that the money would be required later then I would have saved the transfer to be able to use it at this moment. I am however very optimistic that we will be able to raise the money together with my children and be able to take my husband for medical check up. Nevertheless I will always be grateful to GiveDirectly for the support that I received from them.

In my opinion GiveDirectly did very well in giving support unconditionally to all the people within the village. People's lives have greatly improved courtesy of these transfers and we cannot thank GiveDirectly enough for this. I did not find anything that I thought GiveDirectly did not do well in terms of how they ran their operations. Everything was excellent and we are so much indebted.

We used KES 20000 to pay school fees for our child who is in her secondary school studies and used another KES 15000 to seek medication for my husband who was ailing then. I was also able to pay debts owed to us as a family and paid debts worth Kes 15000 and used the remainder to seek medication for my husband. He has been suffering from ulcers and the money helped us in getting a temporary solution to his problem.

After we were promised that we were to receive the unconditional transfer from GiveDirectly. I developed a habit of checking all the incoming messages, Therefore when I had my phone ringing, I was curious to read what the text message entailed. Upon checking I was so happy and excited to learn that finally, my transfer was here. I knew that the transfer would enable me to pay school fees for my children. I am so grateful for the cash that gave us a chance to enhance our lives.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that GiveDirectly gave me the opportunity for me to uplift my living standards. Thus I used the opportunity in paying school fees for my children, at the moment they are comfortable carrying on with their studies. Seeing my children in school is a great achievement and a great milestone. The school fees was a major challenge before due to financial constraints. I am so happy that I was able to accomplish so much in a short period.

I am a farmer and a mother of eight children. When I received my transfer, I thought of prioritizing school fees for my children so that they can comfortably study without having to worry about anything. Thus I used KES 20,000 in school, this was a challenge before because I depend on farming which is no longer productive due to climatic change. I then used KES 20,000 in purchasing a dairy cow and lastly, I bought foodstuffs and clothes with the remaining amount. GiveDrectky had lifted my living standards thus I am grateful.
