"My children have been home for most of this year as they have been chased out of school due to school fees being uncleared. They are a priority to me so that as soon as I received this money I paid KES.600 for my three children. I would like to start a new business also for buying and selling chickens, so I set aside KES.500 for my business. Since we are experiencing a drought I had to put more money on food and water as I have to buy food for long distances. Thanks to this program my family is living comfortably."

"This transfer was used to buy a couple of things that I am proud of. I thought about having a passive income which whenever I need quick money I can get. I bought my first goat at KES.1000 and I also was able to buy the two chickens costing KES.500. The next thing I did was to buy clothes worth KES.500 The remainder was used to buy food and water which was KES. 500 leaving KES.500 which would help caution us when we have a crisis."

"I decided to put my children's education as the top priority with this money. They have been sent home due to a lack of money to pay the school fees. I wanted to ensure that for the rest of the term that they would not come back home so I talk to the teachers and made a deal on how to make the payments once I receive the money from Give directly. I paid KES.2400 for my three children. This has lifted a boulder from my shoulders. The rest of the money, KES.600 was used to buy food and water for the family so that they don't have an empty stomach when learning."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the acquisition of the water tank. It has given me ample time to go about my daily activities without disruption knowing that I have enough storage of water and my family won't have to strain by walking a long distances to fetch water."

"We had always thought of adding livestock but we didn't have enough money though we had saved towards it.Having discussed with my husband we obtained a heifer worth Kshs.20,000 which it can calf in future and gives us surplus milk for sell hence getting an extra income for us to cater for some household stuff.With Kshs.10,000 we bought a tank that can hold up to 1000litres so that during rainy season we can harvest water hence can be helpful during dry season.With the remaining amount we spent on buying clothing and food for my entire household members."

"I was wondering how I could get money to buy one water machine for my garden and fortunately the money came"

"My plan was to walk after my son sickness. He has soe on his thigh that was leaking water and through the money he is going through the Chinese treatment"

"Yes, I wanted to buy my water pump for my agriculture farm"

"This money will set us up for life and bring about a paradigm shift in our lives in terms of being self sufficient in milk production. At the moment we buy 2 liters daily from the neighbour at KES 80,which is relatively expensive. It is much cheaper to produce than to purchase.Our intention is to live a normal life as circumstances allow. We settled recently and we have not acquired the dairy cow because we have been inadequate financially.It is against this backdrop that we intend to purchase a dairy cow worth KES 40000. We plan to use the rest of the money to purchase 2 water tanks."

"Receiving this money means a better life for me as I will improve my home. My main house including the kitchen are in a bad condition. To improve my home I will also spend about KES 15000 on repairs and a similar amount on water storage tank to collect rain water for domestic use. It leaks whenever it rains. I will also spend about KES 20,000 this money on paying school fees for my children in school."
