"My new goal is to build a new house. I've been living in my brother's house for about six years since my house got destroyed. My husband is diseased and I don't have anyone anywhere helping me so I intend to use this transfer to my advantage."

"I used my most recent transfer to pay saw men to supply me with wood for my house project. The remaining will go towards the initial payment for the contractors who will be working on the house."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well by putting smile on our faces, giving us reasons to be happy and comfortable. What they don't do well, honestly I don't know."

"I have made initial deposits to the sellers of the land I've decided to build my house on in Fishtown. Hopefully after receiving my next transfer, I'll close the deal for my land and start construction right away."

"The biggest challenge I am currently facing is insufficient money to pay school fees and provide animal feeds since I have a small land to plant and a lack of a store to put the feeds."

"I spent part of my second transfer on buying livestock such as a dairy cow at KES 17000 and a goat at KES 3500. I settled for them because the climate is favorable and their pastures are readily available. Also, I cleared the fee arrears of KES 16000 for my sons who are both in secondary schools. In addition to that, I bought a mattress at KES 4900 which was to replace the old beddings that I have been using for years. Finally, with the remaining amount of money, I bought foodstuffs for my ten family members which took us three weeks."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I no longer worry about the cost of buying milk daily. This will also mean that I will be able to save up the money that I used in buying milk for other things, In addition to that, the health of my family as a whole will be nourished. I am so grateful for the support that impacted our lives by enabling me to realise my goal in a short time."

"My daily life is different now, we now live in a decent and spacious house, my family is all happy, the house is no longer stuffy because it is big, in addition to that I can comfortably harvest rainwater because of the iron sheet house, I am now able to save up money that I used in buying drinking water. I am so grateful for the support that changed our living standards thus bringing so much love and happiness to our lives."

"It was at around 5 pm when I was busy milking my cow, that was when I heard my phone ringing, upon checking what the message was all about, I saw a Mpesa notification message showing that I had received money from GiveDirectly, words cannot express how happy I was, I was overwhelmed with joy, this is because I knew that I would be able to accomplish the goals that I had, I am grateful for the support that changed my life to a better one."

"I do not have any new goals apart from the one that I had earlier which was to own livestock more so cows and goats. These have been the well thoughtful valuable assets that I have dreamed to have since they have numerous benefits. In a few months to come, I will be getting plenty of liters of milk for my family's consumption."
