"Earnings that I started streaming in is the biggest difference in my daily life that was brought about by the transfers. I am operating a taxi business that brings in money. I have been saving ever since it kicked off. I also improved my home by building a house and bought a solar lighting system. Recharging the solar is absolutely free and this saves money that would have gone to waste buying batteries for touches to light the houses."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the solar lighting systems that I bought some a few months ago. Lighting my home had always been a problem because a small solar lamp which I had broke down and it forced me to use my phone torch for lighting in my house. My house now is well lit and am always proud and happy to see my home is having good lighting."

"Upon receiving the transfer from GiveDirectly, I spent part of it obtaining materials which were meant for the construction of a new kitchen and used part of the remaining on paying school fees. I spent the remaining on buying solar lighting system, bought furniture, clothing for all the family members and also foodstuff."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the solar lighting systems that I bought some a few months ago. Lighting my home had always been a problem because of the poor light from the paraffin lamp. Additionally, it was very expensive to always have enough paraffin on a daily basis. My chidlren are using this for their studies. It is very convenient as I don't have to buy paraffin like before as it was very expansive."

"I spent my second transfer on buying a solar panel at KES 10000 to provide lighting to my household. I was using kerosene lamps incurring kerosene expenses daily but now even my children are comfortably studying using the solar lighting. In addition to this, I also purchased six goats at KES 18000 that I am currently rearing in my homestead. I also cleared fee arrears for my children so that they would be allowed to continue with their studies. I spent the remaining amount on buying foodstuffs for my family and paying for some household expenses."

"I spend part of the second transfer on buying radio, solar light system and a battery. I then spent the other portion on buying a dairy cow, some maize for consumption and the rest to prepare land for planting."

"The second transfer who Give Directly sent to me, I spent to buy building materials for constructing a kitchen. I bought solar lighting system, food and one goat. The remaining portion I spent on fixing windows and doors to the newly built house which was halfway done. "

"In my opinion GiveDirectly did an amazing work by giving us unconditional transfers which enabled us to change our living standards. Now when I look around my home I got good furniture and solar lighting which has made my life much better. According to me,there is nothing which I can point out that GD never did right since there procedures are transparent."

"I spent most of the money I received on a heifer hoping to be able to have milk for family use in future to reduce the daily budget by cutting off the money spent on milk. I also purchased a solar lighting kit as we still have no access to electricity in our area hence mostly use kerosene lamps which are not only toxic but also costly due to the high kerosene prices. While I was still planning on how to spend the rest of the transfer, I got sick and was admitted in the hospital for a while, which forced me to use part of the money to clear my hospital bills. The rest of the money was spent on furniture, clothing and foodstuff."

"The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I managed to buy a solar lighting system which we use for lighting in our home. Before, I used to spend approximately KES 50 a day on buying kerosene which was so costly. Now I am happy that I got to save that which I would have spent on buying kerosene and spent it on other basic items for the family. Again, my children now have access to a clean source of light for studying at home."
