"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer. This is because I was able to build a more spacious iron roofed house for my family that can accommodate us comfortably. Also, I am glad that I will be able to harvest rain water for domestic use during the rainy season instead of going to the river."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I have been able to build a spacious house for my family. I never thought that I would ever achieve this in my entire. The roof to the house we used to live before was always leaking during the rainy season and our clothes would at times be soaked with rain water. Also, because of the transfers, I was able to purchase a welding machine. As a result, my daily income has started to increase since I now work for myself."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer. This is because I now have water at my doorstep and have completed building a latrine for my family. Due to this, we now have access to clean water all the time and our sanitation has also improved. In addition, I no longer live in fear of our latrine collapsing anytime especially when someone is inside."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I now live in an iron roofed house unlike before. Due to this, I can also harvest rain water for domestic purposes during the rainy season. Also, it will enable me have some time to concentrate on other things instead of going to the river to fetch water. Building of an iron roofed house is an achievement to me since I will not be going through the stress of moving things in my house from one place to another during the rainy season due to leaking roof."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer. This is because I no longer walk for a longer distance looking for clean water for domestic use. This is because I now have water at my doorstep as I was able to harvest enough rain water using the tank that I bought using the transfers. In addition to this, I was able to practice large scale farming this year unlike the previous years. Due to this, I am optimistic of a good harvest that will last us till the next harvesting season."

"I am very glad to be enrolled into this program. As a widow who is struggling to take care of ten children and grandchildren, this money is a relief to both me and my family. We have a small house which gives us problems in terms of sleeping space as we also store our harvest in the house. Hence,this money will be used to construct a better house with iron sheets as well as other utensils for drawing water and preparing food. These things will make our life a bit easier as this means we shall have enough sleeping place and a good storage space for our harvest every season. The children too will be happy as they will not be crowded in a single room when sleeping."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the availability of clean water - safe for drinking- at my doorstep. This has really changed everything right from saving the time I used to spend on fetching to the money that I was occasionally paying for some liters to be delivered. It has been a month now since I last visited the stream. After the torrential rains we received last month, my tank was half-filled and has kept me this long."

"When I received my transfer, I spent KES 30000 to start a small business in our neighboring town. I settled on this so that I can have a stable source of income. Using the remaining amount, I applied for electricity and piped water and paid for their connections. With this, my children will have enough time to study in the evening since they will not be going to the river to fetch water anymore."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer in that I have been able to pay this year's school fees for my children. Due to this, they have never been sent back home and this has enabled them to concentrate on their studies. Also, I do not have to worry about my crops dry whenever I do not have piped water since I will be using water stored in the water tank. Because of this, I am optimistic of a continuous supply of farm produce as I will always practice irrigation during the dry season."

"I spend part of the money I received from GiveDirectly to purchase an improved breed of a Dairy cow. I used to buy milk daily and this was so costly for me. I also bought pipes and connected clean tap water. I have children in various schools and I paid their school fees and the rest of the money I bought a solar panels for lighting at home. I am so happy because GiveDirectly has changed our lives."
