"I spend part of the money I received from GiveDirectly on purchasing a dairy cow. I used to buy milk daily and this was so costly for me. I also bought food, clothes and pipes from draining tap water for domestic use and for irrigating my farm. I am so much grateful for the support because GiveDirectly has changed my living standard."

"In my opinion GiveDirectly does well by giving money to the poor in the community to build better houses and to water tank. I do not find anything that GiveDirectly did not do well."

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that through the transfers,I am living a better life. I am staying in a decent house after constructing a new house. In the past I was sleeping and cooking in the same house which affected my health wise due to the constant smoke I get from the firewood. In addition, I now have enough water storage for the family after purchasing a water tank with the transfer."

"I spent my transfer to purchase two lorries of building stone for $350, cement, and water this was for the construction of a new house since the one I had collapsed while repairing it. I was forced to seek refused from the neighbour's house something that has deprived my privacy."

"I spend part of the money I received from GiveDirectly on building a better house. I used to live in a small house before. I also bought food and a water tank for storing water for domestic use. The rest of the money I paid school fees for my children in various School.i am so happy because GiveDirectly has changed our living standard."

"My life is different than how it would have been if I never received the transfers in that I have bought a Water tank. I used to walk for a long distance to collect clean water for drinking and also for domestic use. This was so tiresome and tedious. When I received the second transfer I found it wise to invest on buying a water tank. I no longer walk for that long distance like before. I have clean water for drinking and also for domestic use. We are no longer exposed to water related diseases which is so costly to treat. Givedirectly has changed our living standard to be much better."

"I spend part of the money I received from GiveDirectly to purchase a Dairy cow. I used to buy milk daily and it was so costly for me. I also bought a water tank for storing water for domestic use. This has saved much time for me because I no longer walk for a long distance to collect clean water. The rest of the money I bought food for the family because we didn't had enough in store during that time."

"My life is different than how it would have been if I never received the transfers in that I have bought a Water tank. I used to walk for a long distance to collect clean water for drinking and also for domestic use. This was taking much of my time which I could have used to do other chores at home. I am so grateful now because I have bought a water tank. I no longer walk for that long distance like before. I have devoted much of my time to my dairy farming and poultry keeping project. This has motivated me to work harder and improve on horticulture farming because I have water for watering during the dry season. I am so happy because GiveDirectly has changed our living standard and given us hope to continue achieving our dreams."

"I spent KES 35000 from my transfer to purchase a dairy cow. We settled on this as a family since I had sold all the cows I had while educating my children. Due to this, we had been forced to buy milk on daily basis which is quite expensive and my family at times were forced to take tea without milk whenever I had not money. Also, I bought a water tank worth KES 15000 with a capacity of 3000 litres. I will be using it to harvest rain water for domestic use. I am now glad that my spouse will not be walking for a longer distance anymore looking for water during dry season. Using the remaining amount, I bought some food for my family."

"After receiving the transfer, the biggest difference in my daily life is the large water tank that I bought. It has really changed a lot as I am no longer buying water as I used to do. Currently, I ensured that it works under a lock as I make sure that I minimize the wastage since I will be fully dependent on rainwater going forward. It has made my work easier, and no struggles anymore in sourcing extra liters of water from the venters."
