"I dropped from school since 2020 due to money and some family issues. I have already given birth to my first child. My new goals are center around the payment of my son tuition and the rest will be use on my Education in order to avoid dropping from school again."

"We are actually building a new house with our money. We don't have any new goal now and have decided to invest every money from Givedirectly into our construction process so that when the program faceout, we will have something to remember."

"I am currently serving dual capacity as both man and woman because my husband is ill and unable to work. I am the only person striving to feed the home and send the children to school and life has not been so easy as anyone can imagine. My intial transfers were used to paid my children's tuition and my current goal is to improve the house."

"Achieving all the plans I had is the biggest difference in my daily life. I am grateful that I have seen a lot improve in my family and hoping to do more with my second transfer."

"I was doing business and entrusted my girlfriend with the entire money while in the bush burning charcoal, but she took the money and business and went her way. I was completely frustrated and left almost to commit suicide. It's through God almighty I was able to recovered and decided not to worry until Givedirectly came in my town and I was selected as one of the successful recipients. Therefore, My goal is to improve my house and buy more goods to start my business."

"We uses approximately KES 50000 from our second transfer to help build our new house to completion. We used the remaining amount of KES 3000 to buy fertilizers, maize seeds for planting and used some to pay for educational needs of our four children. Hsad we not been beneficiaries of this program then we would not have completed the construction of our house yet. I am personally grateful for the help GiveDirectly offered us."

"GiveDirectly did very well by giving each and every household equal amount of money without discriminating on anyone or any household whatsoever. The fact that people were given cash such that each person had the liberty to choose what to spend the money on is something to admire. I did not find anything that I thought GiveDirectly should rectify or improve. The services offered by their officers were just excellent.4"

"We used an amount totallying to KES 50000 from the second transfer to pay my school fees and that of my husband. The money came at a time that my husband badly needed the money in order for him to be allowed to graduate and I also needed money to be able to sit for my end of semester exam. We are happy that GiveDirectly enabled us realize this and made our dreams come true. As a family we feel so much indebted to GiveDirectly."

"It was around 5.30 pm when I saw an unread message on my phone after getting back from the farm as I was checking what time it was. I became so happy and immediately informed my spouse about the good news. He was equally overjoyed and he informed me that we should call the water tank dealers and book one as we had earlier on planned."

"I was still at work and I was in our nearest town when I received a Mpesa message. I still remember that it was a few minutes to 7 pm and I became so happy on seeing this as I knew that I would finally achieve my goal of owning a dairy cow."
