"The new goal that I have now is to build my house. I have been living in a deplorable place. My family and I suffered every year during the rainy season due to leakages we experienced from the roof. The house is roof with papoe or thatch that can no longer hold water. Therefore, when I received my money, I decided to build a new house to live in."

"Yes I have new goals that I never had before. These new goals are to build my house and send my two children to school. I am living in a house made out of papoe or thatch roof. My family and I face serious problem during rainy season due to the leakages that we experienced. Therefore, when I started receiving money from Givedirectly, I thought of building my house. My two children have not been going to school due to lack of money. I also decided to send my children to school after I received my first transfer."

"I had this set up goal long since in my life, which was to be able to work for money and build my own house. But unfortunately for me things had been very difficult for me and my family, even to the extent getting money to purchased food for me and my family on a daily basis had been very difficult saturation. Not with standing this project GiveDirectly is running in Rivercess County is really helping us to improved our life. As I spoke right now my first three payments when to was my building project. I just want to exstand my appreciation to GiveDirectly for the excellent intervention may in my life, I this praying that everyone in this county will used this opportunity the right way. Again many thanks and appreciation to the family of Give Directly."

"What GD did that is good , they where abel to prevent my privacy. Now i can sleep in my own room but first my children and grandchildren " we were all sleeping together in one hut. Nothing GD did that is bad, all is good to me."

"I was at home relaxing when I received my transfer, When suddenly I heard my phone ringing, upon checking I saw a Mpesa notification message showing that we had received money from GiveDirectly. It was the happiest day in our lives, words cannot express the immense joy and happiness that I felt. This is because I knew that we would be able to transform our lives with the money that we had received. I am grateful for the support that gave us an opportunity for us to change our lives."

"I am a farmer and a businesswoman specialising in making traditional guards. Upon receiving my transfer, I saw it fit to utilise it in building a decent house for my family. This is because the one that we were living in was grass-thatched and old. Therefore I used KES 31500 in buying building materials. I then saved the rest of the money for the labour charges. I am so happy that finally, we will be having an iron sheet house, which was like a mere dream to us since we had no money. we are grateful for the support that lifted our lives amazingly."

"I am glad that my daily life is different, this is well evident because I no longer frequent the stream like before in search of water. I am happy and grateful that I was able to accomplish this goal in a short period, unlike before where I was unable to achieve it due to financial constraints. Secondly, I have enough foodstuff in the house to last us for a longer period. Indeed our lives have been uplifted and impacted positively, thus, we are forever grateful for the support."

"Givedirectly has helped me to buy zinc and pay my children school fees. Givedirectly is transparent in implementation. Givedirectly staffs are respectful in dealing with people. Thanks to Givedirectly for the good job carried out. There is nothing Givedirectly is doing that is not going well."

"No new plan my previous plan still stand to build my house"

"I used my most recent transfer to start selling petty business on table . I was able to purchase 3 bags of rice, along with two buckets of dry peppers, with three cartoons of vital cube and other food stuffs materials to start selling. I am grateful to Givedirectly for the kind gestures. Receiving this money is like a dreamed to me . I believe that with my transfer received, I am going to be relief from school fees payment this year."
