"In my opinion, GiveDirectly GiveDirectly does well by supporting us financially. According to be this has been the best organization ever because we were all allowed to choose what we would wish to purchase. This has enabled us to own beautiful houses, livestock and pay fees for our children. On the other hand, I do not see any sector GiveDirectly needs to change."

"I struggle a lot putting food on the table due to lack of employment. When I receive this money, my spouse and I will each take a course so that we can actively earn income from our skills. I will take a course in hair dressing while my spouse would like to take a course in carpentry. This will cost us around 50,000 KES."

"I am a single mother with three children. I dropped out of school in standard five when I got pregnant. I am endowed with the talent of a hairstylist. I am planning to start a saloon( I will hire a place where I will be attending to my customers). This will cost me approximately 60,000 KES for the purchase of the required resources."

"My father passed on last year and my younger siblings were left under my care. I do casual jobs to raise school fees for 3 siblings in the secondary level and 3 others at the primary level. They are sent home frequently to collect school fees in arrears reducing the time they spend in the classroom hence poor performance in their education.Receiving this money means a better and uninterrupted education them and I am happy will finalize their education this year. We are planning to use KES 20,000 to clear the arrears and the rest we will use to set up a business to earn a living in future."

"I am a single mother of four children, this is after we separated with my husband for 10 years ago now. My parents offered me a place to stay with my children. I then decided to start a business of plaiting ropes and selling them in a nearby market. Averagely I can earn KES1000 during the market days. This is what we use to buy food and other basic necessities like school uniforms. I am delighted that the ambition of buying a piece of land and building a house will be come to reality. I plan to use the first transfers to buy a piece of land at a cost of KES40,000. The second transfers will cater for building materials and labour charges."

"I am a business man and I buy and sell poultry during market days. This has been my source of income for 2 years now. I earn an average KES.1500 per week as my net profit since the market day happens once in a week. My capital for the business has stagnated at KES.4000 considering that we use the profit to purchase our daily basic needs. Receiving this money comes with joy in the as our ambition of venturing in hardware business as come to reality. I therefore plan to spend KES.70,000 for startup stock and use the remaining to pay for 4 months rent."
