"I had sold out most of my cows to see my daughter through high school and college education, this was the only way I had in raising her school fees. When I was promised the unconditional transfer I was relieved because I knew that I will be able to sort out the remaining school fees arrears, therefore I used KES 20,000 in paying for the school fees arrears. I then bought a water tank worth KES15,000, Lastly, I bought foodstuffs and other household items with the remaining part of the transfer."

"It was one cool afternoon when I had just return from the farm. At that time, I came from brushing and decided to have a little rest. A moment later, my little brother walk up to me and said Givedirectly money is coming so please go and check. With no hesitation, I went on the road where we normally receive network. I fortunately saw an alert on my phone. This alert was confirming a message of transfer from Givedirectly. I was super excited because it was my very first time to received such amount from organisation. I am greatful to GiveDirectly."

"Givedirectly intervention was timely. They came when some of us was really struggling. They have done well and still doing great."

"GD did well by giving free money transfer to we the poor people, for that reason, rain is not dropping on me again, it's a plus to GD operation because I'm no longer sleeping in rain . Nothing bad i have seen that GD not do well."

"I was abel to buy new bundles of zinc and established new business such as selling cups of rice and others provision."

"Givedirectly is doing everything well in my opinion."

"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."

"I spent part of my second transfer on buying some building materials such as iron sheets at KES 12000, building poles at KES 7000, nails, timber at KES 2500, and the labor costs of KES 7000. I bought all these so that I could construct a new house for my children who have been sheltering at their friend's houses which were quite far from our compound. I later bought a water tank of 200litres at KES 2500. It's a relief for me because I can now harvest and store water. I will no longer be stressing myself in fetching from the dams. In addition, I bought new clothes, shoes, and enough foodstuffs for my children."
