"The biggest difference in my life is that I currently have a water tank that is supporting me a lot by storing enough water for the family. Nowadays, I am not stressed by walking long distances to get this important life necessity"

"I remember it was very early in the morning when I had just woken up. I was still on my bed when I heard people outside narrating how they had received the transfer. Being among the people who were enrolled in the village, I decided to switch on my phone. I was very happy when I saw the message indicating that I had received the transfer. I was very sure that I will be able to accomplish my long-term dream of owning a water tank."

"I was already at work when I got a message. Since I could not read, I continued with what I was doing up until the evening when I went back home. I asked my daughter-in-law to help me read and she confirmed that I had received funds from give directly. I was ecstatic. My very first thought was to connect my compound with water, to control the water problem we were having and also reduce the cost we incurred whenever we bought water from our neighbors."

"As I was coming back home from fetching water, I saw my daughter quickly rushing toward me in so much excitement. When she got to where I was, she informed me that I had received funds from give directly. This caught me by surprise and in our jubilation, we both hurried in and got ready to go and withdraw the money. The very first thing I thought of was installing water in my compound and then buying food for my family."

"I had just woken up preparing for my daily household activities like fetching water for the family. I remember it was around 6 am when I heard my phone ringing. Being uneducated, I took the phone to my daughter-in-law who checked it and informed me that it was the transfer from GiveDirectly. I was overwhelmed with joy since I was very sure that finally, I will be able to fulfill my long-term goal of owning a decent shelter."

"I had left early in the morning to fetch water. My phone was charging and off until I came back. I switched on my phone and I couldn’t believe the first message that I read had received money from Give directly , with so much joy my face delighted. I called my husband and shared the good news."

"I spend KES 28,000 on purchasing a dairy cow. This was my main priority since I used to buy milk and it was so costly for me. Currently, I have enough milk for the family and I no longer get worried like before. I spend KES 7,500 on a goat. This is the best investment I will sell when it has multiplied in the future to buy a dairy cow. I spend KES 5,000 on purchasing sofa set seats and sky blast for storing clean water for domestic uses. For the rest of the money, I bought food and clothes for my children. I am so grateful for the support because GiveDirectly has changed our living standards to be much better than before."

"I never thought that I would ever have a permanent roof but through GiveDirectly transfers, I was able to fulfill my long life desire. I can now harvest rain water during rainy seasons and I'm so happy since I wouldn't have achieved all this if it was not for the transfers."

"I had just left home and I was on my way to fetch water when I Received a message. Upon checking it, I found out that I had received my first transfer from GiveDirectly and I was so happy and went back home to inform my husband. Later in the day we visited the nearby market where we withdrew part of the transfers."

"It was 8 am and I had just gotten home from the river to fetch water when I thought of checking my phone which I had left in the house. I checked it and I saw that I had a new message. I opened it to check the contents and wow! I could not believe my eyes when I read that I had received KES 55000 from GiveDirectly. I was so happy that my children noticed it. They asked me what was going on and I told them about the good news. They were happy too upon hearing this and we celebrated together giving thanks to God and GiveDirectly for the blessing."
