"I am sick and that is the major challenge I am experiencing, as a result of that I cannot do farm work, money is another challenge, I depend on my wife for almost everything money can do because of my disability, I used to be the one taking full responsibility of this family prior to my sickness."

"When I got my first transfer, I bought two bundles of zinc to build my house. I live in a family house. It has been in my plan to build house, but I was not having money to do so. One of my new goals is to buy cement and improve the room I am currently living in. Another goal I have is to pay my daughter school fees. I appreciate GiveDirectly for this transfer that is enabling me to achieve beyond my dreams."

"Yes I had plans to build my house"

"I was planning to build my house but I never had money"

"I spent my most recent transfer on building materials and my lil agriculture farm"

"I spent my most recent transfer on my kids school fees"

"It was at about 11.a.m and was just home doing my house chores when I received a message from Givedirectly.When I checked, it was an MPESA message confirming a receipt of Kshs.55,000 .I was very excited and thankful to God since I knew all the plans I had would me initiated."

"Since I received my transfer I been able to pay my kids school fees and I'm also doing a small business. Alot has changed positively"

"After receiving the first transfer priority was the clearance of school fees arrears for my three children. With the transfer, I spent Kshs.30,000 in paying the fees. Am now happy that they are now settled in school and they are studying without being sent home to collect money. With Kshs.6,600 I spent fencing my land so that my livestock can freely herd when am away without trespassing other people's farms. With the remaining amount, I used to buy food and clothing for all my household members. I am happy that we now dress well and eat good meals we are all in good health. I am so grateful to Give directly for the great support."

"I cut palmnuts and make oil out of it. I take the oil to local markets for sale. For some time now the business have been moving slow. Things got a bit difficult. I started building a new house but couldn't complete it due to insufficient funds. I was so excited when I received my transfer. I know after receiving all of the transfers my life will get better. I used some of my money to buy plank. I also used some to pay my daughter fees. I used the rest of my money to buy some food items."
