"My life is different from how it would have been had I not received the transfer in that, I have been able to clear the school fees arrears for my children. Due to this, they have never been sent back home since the beginning of the year as I have had enough time to look for this terms school fees. This has enabled them to concentrate on their studies and I believe that their performance will improve."

"I spent part of my second transfer to finish building a house for my family and to build a house for my children. I bought all the necessary materials and paid a mason the full cost of construction. Also, I spent some amount to pay school fees for my children. I used the remaining amount to buy decent clothes for my family."

"When I received my second transfers, I spent part of it to pay school fees for my children so that they would not be sent back home. Also, I bought two sets of seats and a table since I did not have them. My sons have been sleeping at their grandfathers house and it is always unsafe for them to walk alone at night. Due to this, I decided to build them a house so that they will not be having to walk at night anymore. I spent the remaining amount to buy some decent clothes and food for my family."

"I received my transfer at a time when the doctor had advised I undergo an operation for guitar treatment. I had not been able to get this treatment due to lack of money and my National Hospital Insurance Fund could not cater for the full cost. Due to this, I decided to use part of this money to pay for the operation. Also, I spent some amount to pay school fees for my son who was joining college. He had already received his admission letter and we were still looking for his school fees. I spent the remaining amount to buy food and some decent clothes for my family."

"My life is currently different from how it would have been had I never received the transfer since I now own a dairy cow. Due to this, my family now has enough milk for our consumption and for sale to earn an income. I use this money now to cater for our basic needs and to pay school fees for my children."

"My life is different from how it would have been had I never received my transfers because I am now a proud owner of a dairy cow. Before Give Directly came for enrolment, I had never thought I would for one day own a cow. This is because the money I usually get from doing casual work was not always enough for us to buy all our basic needs and even pay school fees for my children."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I never received my transfers since I have been able to pay school fees for my children without selling the only dairy cow that I own. Selling this cow would have increased my daily expenditure because I would be forced to start buying milk. Also, the transfers enabled me to build a decent kitchen for my family. Due to this, I am no longer being rained on when making meals for my family during the rainy seasons."

"I spent the second transfer to buy two goats . I bought school supplies, school uniforms and paid school fees for my four children who are in secondary and primary school respectively. I am glad although at the start of this term they were unable to enroll to school with the required items but through GiveDirectly's transfer, they have acquired all this when going back to school after the short school half term."

"My desire has always been to have assets that I could easily rely on for the sake of my children's future education goals, since they are still young. When I received my first transfer, I spent KES 40000 to purchase three heifers and two goats. I opted to buy these heifers so that as I keep them, I know they will reproduce and increase in number in the near future. I will be leaning on them in case of a financial problem. I also believe that with time, I will be able to educate my young children's to further their studies. I also spent a portion of the transfer to pay for my children's school fees. I am spending the remaining amount to cater for my daily household expenses such as buying foodstuffs and other basic needs."

"Upon receiving my first transfer, I spent KES 30000 to buy a dairy cow. I resolved to buy this cow because through it I will be getting milk which I am planning to sell. I already had a herd in my homestead and I am happy that I have been able to add to my cowshed. I am also expecting that it will reproduce and have many of them. Even when I am faced with a financial problem, I will be able to sell the offspring and raise more finance. My husband is also operating a shop business which has been our main source of income. Thus I invested KES 15000 to add stock to it so as to enable him operate profitably. Apart from this, I also spent KES 8000 to clear school fees for my child in high school."
