"The biggest difference in my life today is that I was able to purchase a water tank, our area is semi-arid, getting clean water for drinking is a bit of a challenge, therefore we thought of buying a water tank so that we would be able to harvest rainwater. I am grateful for the support that brought so much happiness in our lives, I have never witnessed any organization giving out unconditional cash in my entire life."

"Indeed there is a big difference in my life.I had to struggle hard by burning charcoal and cutting palm before getting money. With Givedirectly transfer now, I have minimised the struggle and purchase zinc. I would have done this but not as quick as Givedirectly help me to realized."

"I am currently saving my money to establish a big business in the town. The idea of establishing a business is base on the associated hardship."

"I don't have any new goals, I'm sticking to my previous plan that is , to finish my house . House is very important in the rural areas because when you get house in our town you are respected in society ."

"my new goals was to established new business for me and my girlfriend and purchase zinc for construction because I'm sleeping in people house so I need my personal house to live in."

"I'm saving my money to improve my house."

"I live with my 3 orphaned grandchildren. In my old age, I cannot fend for them as I used to before. This means that we have to rely on other people to provide for us which is not the case always. Sometimes we sleep hungry because of lack of food. I am always worried each day because I am not sure if we will get something to eat. Lack of finances is therefore my biggest challenge."

"Inadequacy of financial resources still plagues every effort I make towards educating my children. My husband works as a driver earning a meagre weekly wage of 3000 KES. On the other hand I also constantly struggle to eek out his income by burning and selling charcoal. Together we're still not able to afford life. Raising money for my children's education is still a problem, and most of the days we even have to skip meals to stretch the limited resources to cover a whole month."

"No, I did not have any new goal since the main plan was to construct a new house. This is because previously I used to sleep at my relative's houses which were relatively far from the village that I live in. It has been stressing me for a while but I did not have any alternative."
