When I received my initial transfer, I chose to spend it on acquiring a parcel of land. I am so happy to have owned it for a short period. My next goal is for me to be able to build a house, I don't have money at the moment but I am trusting God for away to open.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly has done amazing work in impacting our lives. We all received the unrestricted cash just the way they had promised us. Our locality is a semi-arid area thus it is less productive, therefore we are grateful for the support that empowered us financially. So far I have not witnessed any inefficiencies in what the organization is doing.

I am a businesswoman specializing in selling vegetables and fruits and I am a mother of three children. Upon receiving my second transfer, I thought of purchasing a dairy cow worth KES 26,000 to cut down on the cost of buying milk. I am so relieved that I would no longer be spending money on expensive milk daily. Secondly, I bought foodstuffs and clothes for my family. It was hard to attain all of these due to financial constraints as a result of the high cost of living. I am grateful for the support that lifted my life tremendously.

I was in the field looking after my friend's animals, when I heard my phone ringing, on checking, I saw a Mpesa notification showing that I had received money from GiveDirectly, it was the happiest day in my life, and the words alone cannot explain how happy I was, I immediately rushed home and informed my mother, I then embarked on planning on how I would spend my money.

Being a single mother is not an easy task, you get to carry all the responsibilities single-handedly, I don't have a reliable source of income thus making things more challenging, but I am happy that I was able to purchase a dairy cow which brought forth enough milk for our daily consumption, My heart is at peace now, knowing that I have accumulated building materials readily waiting for the second transfer so that I could commence constructing a decent home. I am so grateful for the significant milestone in my life courtesy of the organization.

I am a local businesswoman in the village, where I engage myself in selling vegetables, I am a single mother of four children, when I was promised the unconditional transfer I thought of purchasing a dairy cow so that I would own a cow, I knew that this would help me in cutting down the cost of buying milk daily, thus I used KES 25,000, in addition to that I also bought building material worth KES 16,500 so that I would be able to construct a decent house once I receive my transfer, lastly I bought foodstuffs with the remaining part of the money. I am relieved that I have been able to accomplish so much in a short time.
