"Yes, I have new goals for this third transfer. I have planned to collect the last transfer to add up to the third one and travel with my sick son to Ghana for surgery. My son Varney Johnson is nine years, he drunk caustic soda since 2016 and he has been feeding through tube throughout his illness. I have been using the previous transfers for food and medicine for him."

"The biggest difference in my daily life since I started recieving payments from GiveDirectly is that I can handle my own money now because I have my petty business that community dwellers buy from me. I do not go to people to borrow money like before. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for enrolling my household into the program. Indeed GiveDirectly is that organization for the poorest. As usually said in our local parlance- POVERTY MEDICINE."

"Before receiving the transfer I had had an accident of falling down with a bucket of water on my head, thus got injuries. Lucky enough, in that very week I received the promised transfer of KES 1200.00 from GiveDirectly. I used KES 700.00 for medication where an x-ray was done and I was given some medicine. For the remaining KES 600.00, I used it for transport to and from the hospital."

"I have been wondering about where to get funds for topping up school fees for my daughter who is joining university next month. She is going to pursue a Bachelor of Science course in medicine at Kenyatta University. The savings that we had made toward raising the required fees is insufficient. So, I am delighted to receive this grant because it will enable me to raise about KES 70000 that is needed. Thank you GiveDirectly for this support."

"Food insecurity has been the biggest challenge.My first transfer of KES 1200 was mainly spent on food and I bought two chicken to start chicken rearing business. My recent transfer came and my son who finished his secondary school had not picked his certificate due to school fees arrears. I used KES 1000 so as to pick the documents because they are highly required for his college application, used KES 600 to buy 5 packets of 2kg maize flour.I started vegetable business using KES 1000 which has been earning a minimum of between KES 50 and 100 profit which is enough to buy other things on daily basis in order to have a simple meal.My KES 400 was spent in buying medicine because I was unwell."

"I am epileptic highly depending on medicine that I get from a local government facility. I spend about KES 2000 on this despite that I don't have a source of income. In late 2021, I found someone who can properly treat me but this is very expensive. To deal with this condition I will spend about KES 10,000 on this medication. I will the n spend about KES 30,000 on buying a dairy cow. It will beimportant to have milk that will earn me a daily income. I hope to be able to meet my dayly needs properly, mainly food and payng school fees for my children easily, once I have this cow."

"I used the first transfer to pay for the educational expenses of my girlfriend and I. I also bought food for our household, medicine and clothes for our new born Baby."

"My wife and I have planned to build a new house so I bought two bundles of zinc to start the project. I bought two of my children's uniforms, shoes, and also paid their tuition. I bought two cutlasses and one file and hired two men to brush my cocoa farm. I also bought one bottle of medicine (fertilizer) to make my farm produce well."

"Since I received the cash transfer I have been stress relieved. I feel that my problems are all solved. Can you imagine from the day of my birth to present, I am still living under thatch roof but now I have bought three bundles of zinc from GiveDirectly cash transfer to build a new house which makes me happy. I will no longer worry about how to get medicines for my cocoa maintenance from harmful inserts and pets. I usually used to worry about my two children's future but now GD has brought releaf to my entire life. Thank you GiveDirectly for your support to people living in poverty and changing their lives should continue not my village alone."

"The money i received from Givedirectly i used some to buy food and medicine for my son. I also used part of it to buy additional zinc for my house. The balance money will be used to pay for planks"
