"GiveDirectly is doing well by giving me transfer without condition attached. Since I got enrolled on this program, I have not experience any cheating. Everyone is treated equally. I appreciate GiveDirectly for my transfer."

"I was more than happy when I get the cash transferred. In as much as we wanted to build a house with zinc roofing, we could never do it until our death, because of our conditions. Thanks to Give Directly for the assistance given us."

"My recent transfer was use to hire contractors to brush a large space of farm land for sustaining the family in the future especially school fees, food and hospital bills. My home had been stressful and life have started changing"

"My first and second transfer was use to buy some construction materials like Zinc, nails and matress to have a comfortable sleeping place for good health. I have not developed a new goal because i bought some pconstruction materials like Zinc, plant and paid some money to the contractor for my project."

"I spent most of the transfer money on building another house for my family. I spent KES 30000 on doing so where I bought iron sheets and trees for building poles. I also spent part of the money in paying for the labour costs. I wanted to construct another house because the one that we use to live in was very small and the space was no longer enough for us all. I hence wanted another one that is modern and much bigger which was going to fit the five of us, that is, me together with my four children. I was not in a position to construct one before since I didn't have the large sum of money needed to do so. I have a small business of hawking snacks such as biscuits that I depend on. The little money that I make from it is what I use in purchasing foodstuffs such as maize, milk, sugar for my family. Apart from constructing the house, I also spent KES 14000 on buying clothes for myself and my children. I also bought two bags of maize at KES 4500 per bag. With the remaining amount of money that was left, I used it in buying some foodstuffs since the Christmas celebration was around the corner, and some I used it in paying for my medical expenses since I was not feeling well and I had to visit the hospital. I am so much grateful to GiveDirectly because all these have been possible due to them. We now have a bigger house, and with having roofed it with iron sheets, I can collect rain water for our household consumption."

"I spent my transfer on buying gasoline to saw wood for house. I also used portion of the money to pay the Sawyer. Building house has been my plan, but I couldn't afford because of financial constraints. GiveDirectly transfer is making my life better than before. I see a better future where I will have a decent home. I really appreciate GiveDirectly for my transfer."

"When I got my first transfer, I bought cement to improve my house. I also gave some of the money to my wife to add it to her petty business. I haven't developed a new goal yet. I am still working on improving my house. I bought additional cement to plaster my house. I aslo gave some of the money to my wife to improve the business. The business will help substain my life."

"I will like to build a new. I already have a lot of land in the city. I constucted a house there years back but it has depreciated and I intend to reconstruct it."

"My husband had been ill for the past one year. As a result of this, we had not been able to farm. My family survive on banana from the old farm land. My son and I had to do some contracts for other people in the village to find food. Things was very challenging on us. I had been mocked by some neighbours about my family inability to build a house. Many didnt understand it was my plan not until I got this money from Givedirectly. Besides the fact that my family can eat, I am also happy to soon start my house project. I hope to continue keep progressing by getting involve with business."

"The transfer has brought a very big difference in our lives as a family. We have had some peace of mind having paid school fees for our three children who are in secondary school. We still have a little bit of balance to clear but at least they have not been sent home due to arrears. I no longer struggle a lot like before since the money that I am nowadays making from the casual jobs, is only going to the purchase of food for the family."
