"I do not have new goals for now and I am grateful for the ones I accomplished. The most important one was about building a better shelter. The initial one was about to collapse and since I am a jobless widow this would stress me a lot. I am now a happy mother because we are all sheltering under the same roof. We no longer have to worry about the rains and the security."

"My husband and I depend on casual jobs for a living. This is usually cumbersome because there are some days we do not get a single job to do. Futhermore the wages from this work are usually paid in bits depending on the amount of work one has done. Financial constraint has therefore become a major challenge to our household because from the incomes we get much of it is spent on stationery and other materials required at school. Having three children under the system of Competency-Based Curriculum has drained us a lot."

"I plan to buy zinc doors to build my house than I will build a little shop for my business that I'm doing"

"Through the transfers, I got the capital to start a fruits business that is doing well. From the proceeds, I am planning to start a hotel business which will be an additional income source for my family."

"We feel congested in our household because my family of 8 members shares a two-roomed house. Some of my children are forced to sleep in the kitchen because our main house cannot accommodate all of us while ensuring privacy. This has adversely affected my self-esteem as a mother and wife. Hence, receiving this money signifies a great relief to us because we shall extend our main house by building an additional room. As a result, we shall have sufficient space to live and sleep in."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly enrolled us transparently without favoritism. From the meeting, I was taught how to spend the transfers."

"Now I should not hide, life is different. I leave a fulfilled life knowing that I have found things that I mostly envied. Thanks to give directly for such an opportunity."

"Yes, I have a new goal of starting of a fish selling business after I am done with farming so that I am able to save money."

"We have a boy who is in the University of Eldoret and 2 in secondary schools, one in Moi Siongiroi girls and another one in Kaboson girls, both of the schools are in the level of extra County cadre of schools. It is an uphill task paying school fees for these children, Mark you are people of little means. We pay approximately KES 100000 per year which is a real struggle, we still have arrears of KES 30000 that we know not where to find the money. Sometimes we are devastated by the burden and the uncertainty of where to raise the money. It is the mother of our all problems."
