"I do not expect my life to change in the next six months. I still want to continue educating my two children to higher levels. I feel that education is the best weapon that they can use to face the world. This is what I want to concentrate on at least for the time being."

"My children are so delighted to have a new experience at a private school. This happiness has extended to us when they are back home since they get to share their adventures. Their skills have also improved and they look more enlightened compared to when they were studying in a public school. I really believe taking them to this school was the best decision I have ever made because I know with a good education they will get good jobs and become important people in society. I thank Give Directly because they made all these possible."

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is poverty. I have three children in secondary schools and to raise money to facilitate their education needs is a very big charllage. I sell part of what I am able to harvest in order to raise money for them to go to school. This leaves me with very little to feed on and as a result, food shortage. "

"I have been saving my previous transfers to enable me pay my daughters school. She is currently in form two and I am looking forward to see her complete her secondary education."

"My new goal in the next six months is to save part of our transfer jointly as a family for my nieces' education to the university because he is yet to enroll in the month of September. This will be a fulfilled goal because I believe through educating him, he will be successful and dependent after securing a good job and assist us as his family members financially in the future."

"The GiveDirectly cash transfers have enabled me enroll my three children into better private schools. In addition to this, I purchased some construction materials which will enable the construction of a permanent house. It should be noted that, I reclaimed a farm land that will boost food crop production for the family. Prior to receiving the cash transfers, my children were studying in rural poor performing schools. I am very glad that they will acquire the best education since I enrolled them into a good school."

"My life is different now in that having received this money, I was able to fully complete my house. This is in terms of plastering and beautifying it compared to before when the house was too dusty and it harbored rodents causing illness such as flu every now and then. In addition to that, my life has currently improved in that because I am able to afford most necessities such as an education for my children, food, among others. Before getting this transfer, I had to do casual labor that really could not raise enough money to handle the expenses."

"This financial support is making it possible for me to undertake a course of my choice come August this year. After the course, I will be in position to support my family members because I would be having a stable source of income. Prior to receiving this transfer, I lost hope in education because my father didn't have money to keep me at school."

"Based on the ongoing programs which have been running, I really don't have a new goal at the moment. I am tasked with school fees payment for my sister and me since I also enrolled in an education program which will be running for the next two years. The task has barred me from starting a new project for the next good number of months but as we go along I hope to get other sources of income which will enable me to invest elsewhere."

"Four months ago, I was not able to take my children to a good school. We have always strived to ensure that our children are attending academies since these are schools which we consider there is a good education. Currently, I have managed to put all the four of them in the academy and now they are happy studying just like our neighbors'."
