"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now able to meet my family's needs, especially diet without struggling. Previously, I was hustling a lot to upkeep my family of 3 members. I am grateful for the transfer for installing hope in our lives."

"After receiving the second transfer, my priority was to start a milk buying and selling business. To make the business effective, I needed a motorcycle. I, therefore, used KES 25,000 of the transfer as a down payment for a motorcycle worth KES 125,000. From this, I am required to repay KES 380 daily for the next 18 months. Secondly, I intend to use KES 17,000 as capital for starting the milk vending business. Through this, I am targeting the purchase and sale of 150 liters of milk each day. As a result, I will get KES 2,000 profits daily. This, will not only help in the motorcycle loan repayment but also food and savings. Thirdly, I spent KES 3,750 on the repayment of a mobile money loan. This helped to clear my name from the credit reference bureau while buying my motorcycle on loan. I also spent 2000 as savings in merry-go-round monthly contributions. This will help in household expenditures. Lastly, I spent KES 3,600 on a bag of maize. This is because earlier, I would rely on casual labor like masonry and weeding to get food. But these jobs are quite unreliable because they are seasonal and I would get only between KES 300 and KES 400 a day."

"Give directly gave me phone, sim card and most of all is the transfer. This transfer help me to improve my life."

"After I received the transfer from GiveDirectly, I decided to buy one lot of land and two bundle of zinc to build my new house so my family and I can live a comfortable life, then I also though on paying my daughter school fees for for her to become someone good tomorrow."

"When I withdraw my money from my mobile account, I bought two bundle of zinc to start my building project, for my family and I to live a good life, then I bought one half bag of rice and other food items for my family and I to eat."

"When I withdraw my money from my mobile account I bought two bundle of zinc to build my new house. Because it had been my plan to build my house and to other things."

"Buying water machine for my garden, paying my children school fees and buying all the materials to build my house are all good things that give directly did for me. I am so grateful to give directly for the great help."

"I bought food for the house and I have also paid my children school fees."

"I bought zinc to improve my house with a new roof and I have also paid my children WAEC fees."

"I bought food for the house, I have paid for the treatment at the hospital, I have saved some of the money and I have also started making a new business to improve my life."
