"Receiving this money means I will be able to provide quality education for my daughter who just joined form one this year. I feel that she is my light at the end of the tunnel. When she finishes school and gets employment, she will be able to take care of me in my old age. Secondly, I plan to finish roofing my house because its open on side and rain pours directly into the house. Thirdly, I would like to buy goats because they are easier to rear compared to cows and finally, I will buy oxen and an ox plough to aid me in farming so I can get more produce."

"The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is preceding my current transfer is the ease of accessing family daily basic needs. I have children and grandchildren and in various secondary and colleges. I use my entire farm income in education hence I finding it hard to meet the daily household basic needs. I have currently been using the monthly transfers from GiveDirectly for my household daily expenditure and this has been my happiness since it has reduced debts that I used to accrue before."

"During my years in secondary education, my parents could not afford to pay all the school fees that was required because they din't have a steady source of income. This meant that I finished my secondary educationa with quite alot of arrears pending payment and release if certificate. So when I started receiving the transfer from Givedirectly, I paid the arrears in bits and right now I cleared and I now have a Kenya Secondary School Certificate and ready to ho to college. I am also currently a livestock farmer. I have managed to buy some chicken and sheep for rearingbwhich I did not have before."

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to build an iron roofed house, take care of the education needs of my children. "

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is the problem of school fees. We 4 school going children and our income is insufficient to provide quality education for all the children."

"Happiness is the greatest change in my life because I will be able to pay school fees for my children. I have three children in secondary education and three in primary section attending private schools and I was so burdened by school fees. My son whom I was unable to pay fees for last year will also resume this year."

"My new goal is to start saving money with the intention of paying school fees for my daughter who has recently joined high school. I don't want her to be sent home because of anything that pertains her education."

"Having enrolled my child in school is the biggest difference in my daily life. The joy of every parent is to give their children the best education since I believe that education is the key to a brighter future. I'm happy I full filled part of my duty as a parent. This is the biggest differeence in my daily life."

"My children have always been sent home for school fees most often due to school arrears. Therefore in the next four months, my new goal is to save money for my children's education so that they will be able to go to school smoothly."

"GiveDirectly has given me opportunity to access things which I could have not possessed in my entire life. I bought some livestock as a banking method for my children's education in future, when they multiply, I will sell them to raise money for my children's school fees. GiveDirectly has given people equal opportunity and freedom to spend their money in accordance to their needs. GiveDirectly should reconsider continuous assistance to those in the system rather than one attempt intervention. This will help in planning and proper utilization of the fund."
