"I spent my second transfer on buying building materials (iron sheets,polls and sand) since I have a small house yet I have a very big family.I also bought a cow,a set of chairs,a table and payed school fees for my children."

"I spent my second transfer on buying a dairy cow and at the moment it has already given birth to a calf hence I am assured of getting milk from it thus I will no longer buy milk any more. I bought two goats and two sheep. I feel blessed as I have my own livestock through GiveDirectly and my family members are really enjoying rearing their own livestock unlike before where they could just admire their neighbor's livestock. "

"I spent my second transfer on purchasing a dairy cow with an intention of selling the young ones to take care of my children's fees in future, bought two sacks of maize for the family consumption and paid school fees for my children to settle well in school through out the term. I also bought seats in the house and spent the larger percentage of the amount on purchasing twenty pieces of iron sheets hoping to build my homestead very soon."

"Receiving this money means I'll be able to clear my daughter's school fees who is in form 2. I'll also renovate my house to semipermanent then buy diary cows and start a small business."

"Receiving this money will bring change in my life because I'll be able to buy seats, cows and pay my children's school fees. "

"I feel so happy. I have been planning for years to boost my farming but lack of money has been my constraint. I am now planning to buy more farming equipments, buy some cows to help me in ploughing as well."

"I am very happy to receive money from Give directly. The money I received will help me buy our own land and build our own house. I am planning to buy a cow and buying basic needs for my family."

"It will change my life because i will renovate my house and buy four cows as a future investment."

"I had an orphan in my house who was joining secondary school but I did not have any other source of finance. I therefore took 35000 KES from my second transfer to pay for his school fees and other school requirements. I then bought a cow worth 14000 KES to rear since I had none before."

"I used my second transfer to construct a kitchen since I had none before and I used to get stressed when it rains because I had nowhere to cook from. My cows also had no cow shed, so I constructed one for them to keep them safe; then used the balannce to buy a goat and a mattress which I did not have before as well as clearing some bills on my relative's funeral."
