"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am hopeful of plastering my house since I have already bought the necessary building materials to necessitate this project and I believe through this I will be able to overcome the challenges of living in a mud house such as water leaking in my house mainly on rainy seasons and frequent expenses of smearing the mud house for maintenance purposes."

"I spent my second transfer on building a decent two roomed house and now I no longer stay in my brother's- in-law house.I bought sofa set seat 17,000 KES and water container. I also bought food such as 20 tins of maize for my family's consumption"

"I spent my second transfer on paying school fees of 20000 Kes, purchasing construction materials (iron-sheets, nails) @13600 Kes, and furniture @8000 Kes. I spent the rest on buying a water container, two blankets and food."

"I spent 20000 KES of my second transfer on buying a fridge that I'm using to store water and fresh juice that I sell. I paid school fee of 15000 KES and used the rest of the money on renovating my house."

"I spent most of my third transfer to buy a water tank which I use to store water for sale and use in irrigating my pumps. The remaining amount, I spent to pay school fees for my child who is in high school."

"The transfer really changed my life. Initially, I lived in an earthed house which was very dusty-most of the time, I had to maintain it with smearing which was such a daunting task. But now, I am glad that cementing this house has solved the problem- I live in a better environment. Besides, I can now ferry water far distances for people in the village to get an additional income. This is how my life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now live in an iron-roofed house and am able to collect rain water when it rains since water is the biggest problem in this area. I no longer have to walk in the rain when it rains going to collect water from a neighbour's home. Living under an iron-roofed house has also saved me the stress of packing my belongings when it rains since my roof no longer leaks. This makes me be at peace even if it rains when am not in the house because I am always sure that rain would not destroy my property."

"In my opinion, what Give Directly does well is that it sends us money directly but it never gave out water tanks in Arid and Semi-Arid Areas. It would be prudent it considers making the community members resilient to drought."

"My life is different in that the water pump which I bought with the second transfer earns me a descent income in that I use it to irrigate my land and in most cases other farmers hire at a fee."

"I used a portion of the transfer to buy a cow. Used a portion of the remainder to complete my pit latrine. Completed the water well I started constructing with the first transfer. I also purchased corns for family consumption."
