"Receiving this money means that I will be able to take care of the education needs of my children. "

"I plan to start buying livestock, for future use, after I shall have built a house. It is a simple way of saving for the future use for my children's education. I promised myself that I will do whatever needed to make my children acquire quality education. I never had chance to go to school because of poverty."

"By starting my sheep project, I believe it will sustain my life and the life of my family. I plan to dispose the animals after they shall have multiplied to raised money for my children's education. "

"The difference in my daily life is in the ability to pay school fees for my children. Over the last four months, I kept saving the transfers in my MPesa account and withdrew it when schools were reopening. I then used the money to clear school fees and bought them educational materials without too much hustle unlike before. I am so happy that this is possible without taking the loans I used to take from a local bank. The financial strength I enjoy is because of GiveDirectly transfers."

"I expect my life to change for better in the next six months because I will be having more income from the milk sale. I will therefore be able to provide enough food and save some money for my daughter's education."

"My life currently is far much better than how it was four months ago because I am able to pay school fee my two children in secondary school on time. Previously they used to be sent away from school due to delayed school payment. This was very discouraging and it affected their studies as it was evident in their poor performance. Things however changed when I started receiving the cash as I am able to pay the on time. I am now a proud parent foreseeing a bright future for my family through education."

"In the next four months, I am hoping my business will keep flourishing to enable me to enroll my two children to a private school where they will gain a quality education. This is in top of my priority list as it will secure a bright future for them."

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to marry a wife and atleast buy a cow that can reproduce and take care of the education needs of my children in future."

"My additional goal in the next four months is to build my own house. This will help save my time and help me to refocus on my education. I have been spending my nights at my neighbors' home which comes along with a lot of challenges. For instance, whenever it rains or during the dark nights, walking to where I spend my nights is very dreadful."

"My life currently different from how it was four months ago in that I am now a proud parent because I believe enrolling my child to private school is the best gift to him as I know education is key to a brighter future."
