"The biggest difference that the transfer has brought into my life is that I have been able to open my tailoring business earlier than before. I use to open it at around 1 pm or 2 pm but I now open it at around 11 am. This is because it is the rainy season and I have been able to collect rainwater with the water tank that I bought. We hence now have enough water for our consumption and I no longer have to go to the river to draw some."

"My daily life is different now, we now live in a decent and spacious house, my family is all happy, the house is no longer stuffy because it is big, in addition to that I can comfortably harvest rainwater because of the iron sheet house, I am now able to save up money that I used in buying drinking water. I am so grateful for the support that changed our living standards thus bringing so much love and happiness to our lives."

"When I withdrew the money, I decided to build a rental house which will serve a long-term source of income. In respect to that I used KES 40000.00 in the construction and lucky enough the house is now occupied by some tenants thus I am expecting some income monthly. I also paid KES 3900.00 school fees for my 3 primary school children and the remaining amount went for family food and water."

"When I withdrew the money, I used KES 21000.00 to buy six goats. I opted for the goats because I witnessed a lot of cows dying due to the drought that affected our area to an extent that I lost the morale of keeping cows. Goats are better because they can survive drought more than cows. I also bought a motorbike on credit for KES 15000.00. This means that I will be paying for the motorbike for a while like hire purchase. This motorbike serves as a source of income to our family and my son is the one in charge of it. Thereafter I used the remaining amount in buying food and water for the family."

"The availability of rains in the past 6 months has brought happiness in my life.This is because I can access drinking water and also vegetables in my garden.This makes me happy because I am relieved from the struggles of searching for water at a longer distance."

"I have been admiring to start a goat farming business for long but because of financial constraits, I have never been able to fulfill my life ambitions. Having this support from Givedirectly with this financial aid, I will use all the transfers, 110000 KES to start my project since I have a piece of land to practice this. I am living by a river side of which my goats will have plenty of water to drink and plenty of pastures. I will get milk for my domestic use and also, I will be selling some goats to earn a good profit."

"I dwell in one room with my spouse and my two female children, this does not give me the freedom of doing other things. I intend to build a new three-roomed house with ample space to give my husband privacy. This can be done by 35,000 KES, with the remaining amount I will buy two goats to the rear and count them as investments. Water has been a problem in my village I plan to open a water kiosk and sell water to my village people. I will buy water tanks for storage and sell them at a higher price KES 20 when water runs out of taps. Revenue from this business will help me buy food and irrigate kales and spinach which I intend to grow."
