"I spent my third transfer on purchasing a set of sofa to furnish my living room which had well been constructed by the second transfer. The move for these seats has increased my self esteem and confidence to welcome visitors at my home. Additionally, my life has become more luxurious and admirable to many. Other than the seats, I purchased a cow that I intend to raise for to cater for my son's future education."

"Currently, I run a general shop selling bread, packets of sugar and other household items. This has changed my life since through it, I have gained financial independence. I can now provide for my household members their basic needs like education, food and shelter. If it were not cash transfers from Give Directly, I wouldn't have achieved this."

I also built a house for my late son and my daughter inlaw is now back and paid fees for my two grandchildren who are in high school to settle well and acquire education."

"I spent the larger part of my third transfer on paying school fees for my child who is in the university 24,000KES ,I feel happy that I am seeing my child through their his education. I built a decent three-roomed house 22,000KES since I had already bought the necessary building materials with the second transfer. I also bought food for my family's consumption 4,000 KES."

"I spent my third transfer on paying school fee for my two daughters in form one and form four respectively. My community values a lot educating a girl child as they are perceived as sources of wealth in the future. I therefore opted to give their education a first priority before anything else. I know I have invested my money in as they promise me good returns at the end of their education."

"I spent my third transfer on paying school fees for my child to settle well and acquire education and bought a mattress to sleep in a comfortable place. I also bought seats since I had old ones and used most of the transfer on building my homestead to have more freedom and avoid quarreling with my inlaws since we were living together in the previous compound."

"My life has really changed, I have plastered my house, paid school fees for my dependants and prepared to build my son a small house when he completes his secondary education.Thanks to GiveDirectly for transforming our lives."

"I spent my third transfer on paying school fees for my child who has joined high school to continue with the education, fixed a door and windows in my house and spent most of the transfer on purchasing two dairy cows to get milk hence avoid using 60 KES everyday on buying milk."

"When I received my third transfer, I rented 3 acre-piece of land where I grow maize and sugarcane worth 25000 KES and used the rest of the money for paying school fees for my 2 children in a secondary school. I hope farming will boost me financially even after the end of the cash transfers and again, education of my children is also a great I thing I will count later in my life."
