"Even though I currently on livestock worth more than KES50000, my 1500 litres water tank gives me the biggest difference in my daily life. When I look back and how stress get access to clean water had been in my family, I am just left thank GiveDirectly for the support to acquire this tank. We receive low rainfalls in our areas and most of the time we are forced to go far fetch water. I used to spent a lot at same time waste a lot of time and energy going for small capacity of water. I thank GiveDirectly this has greatly reduced. I currently enjoy safe clean water at my doorsteps."

"I spent my second transfer to buy four goats . I bought building materials and paid workers who facilitated the construction of my new house which I started building with my first transfer. I am proud to living in a spacious house since it has been my long term dream. I boosted my small fish vending business. I paid school fees for my four children who are in primary school . I also bought food and water with the remaining amount."

"My life is different from how it would have been had I never received the transfer because I now have access to clean water. I use the tank that I bought using the transfer to harvest rainwater and use it for domestic purposes. Due to this, I no longer go to the river to fetch water for use."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I nit received the transfer in that I always have access to clean water. This is because the transfers enabled me to acquire a water tank that I currently use to harvest rain water for domestic use. Also, I now live in a tiled house hence dusting it is always easier and less time consuming."

"My life is different now that there's a significant increase in the production of milk which has led to an increased income for us as a family. This is as a result of improved feeds for my livestock. I am glad that I have a also planted more feeds for my cows. This will ensure that there is always enough supply of feeds to my cows and ensure a continued and constant supply of milk I am also glad that I now have a tank. This helps in ensuring that we access clean water sufficiently. This will reduce the cases of sickness that is associated with contaminated water."

"My life is different from how it would have been because I have a water project that I never imagined of owning. Besides domestic use, I also sell water and earn revenue. With the revenue earned, I can easily foot my bills an also pay school fees for my children. Previously, I had to do casual jobs to meet my daily expenses. This was never a guarantee as there were good and bad days. On good days we had extra for saving but on the bad days, we went without food."

"I was doing irrigation in our region and before the coming of GiveDirectly, I was only using buckets to water my plants. However, I acquired a water pumping generator, water tanks and pipes to help me do my irrigation with ease. I have been able to plant a variety of the vegetables, since it's now less costly as compared to before. I am expecting to sell more vegetables and earn increased income. I also bought a bicycle that has also been of great help in fetching water for my irrigation from far places when the water sources that I depend on have dried up."

"The money which Give Directly sent to me, I spent a large portion to purchase a water tank. I opted to buy one so that I would use it to store harvested rain water. I spend the remaining portion to buy furniture for my house."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the active funding of the merry-go-round I joined since I received the first transfer. We have been paying a monthly sum of 1000 KES with other 14 members and through it I have been able to pay school fees, bought a large water tank holding 3000 liters, and also ensures enough supply of foodstuff in my household. We are really thankful for what GiveDirectly did in our home."

"The fact that I have my own livestock makes me proud. I walk in the village with pride for I have also achieved what many have achieved in the community. The cows will be helpful because I will use them for ploughing and I won't spend any more on hiring someone to plough my farm. Since water is scarce in my area, I will also use the cows with a hand-cart to fetch water in a nearby river at a cost for other which will also be a source of income. Feeding the cows too does not require much hence it will not be a burden to me"
