"I am presently living in my Sister's house. I don't have my own place to live. I was overwhelmed when Givedirectly sent my transfer. Upon receiving the alert, I decided to build a house for myself. Therefore, I purchased few bundles of zinc to begin the process."

"As we speak, I am looking for capital to start a cereals business. This will help a lot in school fees payment and household expenditure as well."

"Yes. I have a new goal which is to construct a house. I am currently staying with my stepmother, and I am a mother of two. Thanks to the Give Directly I have already bought a piece of land. What is left now is to look for ways of raising money to construct a house so that my children can have a place they call home. As a grown-up, I will be more independent once I have a home."

"I used KES 35000 to purchase 10 goats for rearing. They give birth twice a year making them be more beneficial. In the future whenever in urgent need of cash I can sell them to raise some money. I also did not have any bedding. Instead, I used to sleep on the ground because the income I earned from the casual work could not afford new bedding. I, therefore, bought a bed, mattress, and a blanket at a cost of KES 15000. Finally, I can afford a comfortable and peaceful night. A portion of the money I spent on foodstuffs for my family."

"Previously, I did not have any source of income. Instead, I could work on people's farms for pay and be paid KES 200 at the end of the day only for the days worked. The KES 200 was not enough to meet all of my household's needs. I, therefore, spent KES 20000 on a retail shop. I appreciate it because I make more from the business and through it, I do not struggle to meet my household needs. There is no more engaging in hard chores in order to feed my family. At least I now feel more healthy and relaxed. KES 23000 I used to both construct a poultry house and purchase chicks for rearing. I am hopeful that once they are fully grown for sale then I will be able to earn a good income which will boost me in meeting my household needs. Since we did not have enough foodstuffs, I bought three bags of corn at KES 10000. This will be able to push us for some months."

"I only had a single room house which we used to share with my grown up children. We felt deprived of our privacy but since the small income I earned from the casual work could not afford a bigger house, we had to squeeze in it. The moment when I received the second transfer, I spent KES 28000 on both building materials (iron sheets, nails, timber) and building labor for constructing a new, bigger house. The previous hose is currently occupied by my children for their studies and sleeping too. I am great full to Give Directly because we now have our privacy. KES 25000 I paid for both my child's secondary and primary school fees so that they could clear their fee balance for the whole of this year."

"No. I do not have any new additional goals that I did not have before receiving the transfers. One of my initial goals was to start up a poultry project. Since I have 3 children in college and 2 in secondary school, I ended up spending a bigger portion of my transfers on their school fees. The KES 20000 that I had left could only afford 15 chickens. I am, therefore, planning to raise more money so that I can expand my poultry project. Poultry reproduces faster to multiple young ones and if well taken care of then they can be highly profitable. The income from the project will be a huge boost in paying for my children's school fees."

"No, I don't have any additional goal for now, my goal was to to buy iron sheets and a dairy calf which I have already achieved."

"I will spend my transfer on buying zinc for my house."

"I have new goal which is to build a house for my family and I."
