"My goal was to invest in something that will make my future financially secure. Now that I invested in buying livestock and starting a business, my focus now is to build my business and rearing my livestock."

"I spent KES 46000 of my first transfer in a five-month in-calf dairy cow that I am looking forward to prolific productivity in the next few months. I had been spending a lot on buying milk for my family of seven which was not always available since most of the villages could not accept to give us credit whatsoever. I am happy that I now have my own that will soon relieve me from the burden of buying and can as well earn me some income from the sale of extra liters produced. I injected KES 6000 out of the remaining amount into my maize selling business which is now doing well after getting a reliable supplier who delivers the required amount to my doorstep. In addition, I spent the remaining KES 3000 buying new clothes for my children,"

"With the experience I have in sewing, I had been working from home, making and selling great work to the school children as a source of income. Even though that business has been slow due to the location I am operating from, I still appreciate it since I have never felt the pinch of hunger. On receiving the second transfer, I spent KES 24000 on obtaining a heifer to add to the lactating dairy cow with a calf that I already have. Milk-selling from my livestock has been the main source of income, and I saw an opportunity to invest in a young breed that will add up the production in the future. I also completed the construction of a house I had initiated with the first transfer. I needed some furniture and fitted of the ceiling board that cost a total of KES 19000. In addition, I am glad that I was also able to buy enough foodstuff to still carry us for some months to come, and new pairs of clothes for my five children with the remaining amount. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for this generous support that has changed the face of my family and given me another chance to redirect my focus in life."

"My new goal is to finish up building some rentals that I started after receiving my first transfer. I'm grateful that the transfers enabled me to complete 90 percent of the project."

"There's nothing great than uplifting and helping those in verge of losing hope in the society and that what GiveDirectly does with a lot of passion. I urge you to keep impacting and uplifting others in the society."

"In my opinion what GiveDirectly does well is restoring the dignity of the poor by supporting through unconditional cash transfers. The impact in my village is evident and I applaud you for that."

"The biggest difference is that we nolonger scramble for space because we have added two specious rooms and our kids nolonger have to go to our neighborhood to look for accomodations at night."

"I used the most recent transfer to buyinging my zinc."

"I spent my most recent transfer on purchasing land for my family."

"Absolutely no, I do not have any new goals, I still keep to my first goals when the money has not come."
