"I now feed well with my family, I am living in cleaner house with solar light so my life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer. "

"I used my second transfer to buy 2 cows which my husband used to pay my dowry since my relatives were already asking me about it. I then used the remaining 13000 KES to buy a solar lighting system for my family, so that we don't continue spending so much on buying paraffin daily."

"I spent my second transfer on buying iron sheets which I am yet to use for my new house since the current one is smaller, I bought a cupboard for safekeeping of my utensils, a solar lighting system for my home because the tin lamp was doing us more harm than good healthwise and paid my children school fees."

"I spent my first transfer on buying 1 door 3600 KES, bought solar light 3000 KES, bought school uniforms 900 KES and gave my spouse 1000 KES."

"I used 6000 KES from my first transfer to pay the discount for acquiring a solar lighting system in order to save me the trouble of buying paraffin on a daily basis. The balance was used to buy 2 goats to rear in my home."

"Before eceiving financial aid from Give Directly, I had a small house which had also grown old. I therefore dedicated a total of 42000 KES to the construction of a new house for my family when I received the second transfer. The balance was used to buy a solar lighting system to save my family the expenses of buying paraffin on a daily basis."

"I spent my second transfer on constructing a kitchen since cooking in the main house was uncomfortable for all of us because of the smoke, I bought a solar lighting lamp for my house as kerosene was way too expensive and spent the remaining money to pay those who helped me in weeding my farm."

"I spent my first transfer to buy a sack of maize for my family's consumption, made a down payment on solar lighting and the remaining amount I spent to restock my fish selling business."

"I spent my first transfer to buy a sack of maize at 3,800 KES for my family's consumption. Bought solar lighting system at 4,500 KES and the remaining amount I spent to buy a blanket."

"My life is different in that I no longer buy kerosene because I have solar lighting system and also livestock. All this I would not have achieved without the transfers. Thank you GD."
