"In my opinion, Givedirectly did well by enrolling all the households in my village. Most households have improved their standards of living by constructing iron-roofed houses, owning dairy cows and water tanks. I have no complaints at all."

"Upon receiving my transfer, I thought of investing it in fencing my land. This is because I wanted to feel safe and also avoid outsiders passing through my land. Thus I used KES 16,000, I then used KES 2800 in buying a big water container. In addition to that, I bought a sofa set and bedding. I was unable to achieve the above due to an unreliable source of income. I am grateful for the support that changed my living standards in a short time."

"After receiving my second transfer, I spent KES 19,000 on a 3, 000 liters water tank. This is because getting drinking clean water was quite far about an hour away. I also used to carry water on my back which was tiresome. But after purchase of the water tank, I no longer go to the river because it's now filled with rainwater. Secondly, I used KES 4,200 for six bags of cement on cementing my veranda and KES 3000 on labor costs. This is because I am currently using my veranda as my tailoring room. Thirdly, I spent KES 6,000 on increasing my tailoring stock. This is because earlier I didn't have the capital to buy the required materials. In a day I used to get a profit of KES 200 per day but after the transfers, I now make up to KES 500 profit a day. Furthermore, I also spent KES 800 on increasing my fresh milk stock. I also spent KES 4,000 on a bag of maize and KES 3000 clothing. Lastly, I spent KES 1,200 on poultry. I also rely on maize, and beans farming for food."

"I have been suffering from back pain for the past five years. As a result, I could not do heavy tasks and these forced me to rely on my kids for both food and water. In a week we used to hire a motorcycle to fetch water at KES 200. This was quite costly given that food was also on the budget. So, when GiveDirectly transfers came my priority was a water tank. I, therefore, spent, spent KES 21,000 on a 3000 liters plastic water tank. This will help store clean rainwater for a longer time. Fortunately, after the recent rains, my water tank is full to the brim. And presently I no longer rely on my kids to hire me for a water transportation system. In addition, I spent KES 3,000 on a bag of maize. This will sustain us longer unlike before when we used to sell milk for a kilo of maize meal. Furthermore, I spent KES 3,800 on the latest clothing fashion which I couldn't afford before. I also gave KES 10,000 to my husband for clothing and personal care. Lastly, I spent KES 4,000 on the settlement of a utensil debt."
