"I started an enterprise of car wash which earns me some money to provide for my family. This business has not been impressive and profitable to me. Therefore this makes me think of venturing into dairy farming but the financial challenge is making it difficult for me to kick start this business. I normally earn about KES 400 which is way below to support this idea. This money makes me see light at the end of the tunnel and gives me hope in this business. I will set KES 100000 to jumpstart dairy farming to enable me to tap more income into my family through the sale of milk and other animal products like meat. This will make me happy as I will see my family living a better life."

"Givedirectly is doing well for us"

"My subsistence farming occupation which has been greatly affected by the drought experienced in the region, is no longer reliable. Therefore lack of food at home is a big challenge since sometimes I go to bed hungry. I only depend on my sons who do casual labour in Mombasa. My old age can not allow me engage in other economic activities like burning charcoal which is the only job done by my villigers."

"I was diagnosed with high blood pressure two years ago. This condition has been affecting my health to an extent of being unable to perform any house chores. I can not afford better health care at the moment as I only depend on my son who works as a casual labourer in Mombasa. Lack of enough money to provide for my family basic needs such as food is also a big challenge for me."

"I was making business before but my business broke down so if I am qualify for this program and i received any money from Givedirectly I am going to start my business again and build my own house."

"The moment I received my transfer, I knew that I would be able to improve my living standards, the house I was living in was not in a good condition, thus I used KES 20,000 in improving my house, I then used KES 15,000 in buying bedding and seats, finally, I used the remaining amount of money in buying foodstuffs."
