In the near future and beyond. I am planning to hire a piece of land for farming as I own a smaller one. I will as well hire a tractor for farming instead of doing it with the help of casual labourers. This is cost-effective as compared to when it is done by the labourers. In addition, I have plans of starting up a groceries business to be run in the evenings. Groceries business has high demand as food is consumed on a daily basis. The profits earned will be enough for my young family's basic needs like food, clothing and school fees.

According to my opinion, what Give Directly does so well is that they give out unconditional transfers, different people have different needs, and we have the freedom how to spend the transfers so long as it is something that does not harm us together with community members. The transfers are given in lump sum amounts and this helps in planning purposes in terms of the developments that we would wish to engage in at a personal level. Unlike other projects where it is given in small amounts. To avoid household conflict, what needs to be done differently is enrolling all the individuals in the household. During enrollment, those individuals who did not have responsibilities by then were left out of the program yet these are the same people who steal from their old and vulnerable parents. Another thing that needs to be done differently is enrolling all the communities in a specific village for uniformity purposes and this will prevent too many complaints coming from the communities that are left out during the registration to the programs

I am a parent of two boys who are in form three, I used part of the transfers of kshs 25,000 to pay their school fees. Before the GiveDirectly transfers, I never had any stable source of income and providing for my family had been the most difficult task I have ever faced. I used the remaining part of the transfers of kshs 25,000 to build a two-bedroom house. I owned a small grass-thatched house which was leaking during the rainy season. Besides, getting the grass for replacement was tiresome as transportation was too costly. I thank Give Directly for the transfers as my peace of mind is finally restored.

I heard a message notification at around 6 Am. I did not bother to check out since I was attending to my baby. When I checked it out later I felt so happy. It was a message from GoveDiretly confirming that I have received the money, It was one of the happiest mornings I have ever had. I inform my family members immediately and everyone celebrated. I knew I would be able to purchase building materials and build a better house. I went to withdraw the money the following day. I am so grateful for the support. it has improved our living standards.

My son used to spend nights in the neighbor's house and building him a house is the biggest difference in my daily life. This was my main concern since my son was not comfortable sleeping in the neighbor's house. walking in the night was so risky and time wastage since he has some school assignments to complete. There was also no privacy since they were so many in that house, I had always wished to build him a house but actually, I did not have the money. I keep poultry and do horticulture farming. These two activities earns me some small income and it was only for household basic needs and school fees. I was not able to purchase the materials. Currently, my son has a house and he is so happy. He no longer has to walk in the night and has enough time to do his assignment and sleep early enough. I am so grateful for the support because it has changed our living standards.

I spend KES 27,000 on purchasing building materials to build a house for my son. He used to spend the night in the neighborhood and this was so risky to work at night at the same time it was time wastage. Currently, he is so happy because he sleeps well and gets his privacy. I paid the school fees and bought school uniforms for my children in various schools. The remaining amount of money I spend on food and household items.
