"Paying my son school fees, buying mattress and even trying to build my house. These are all good things that give directly did for me. In the past months, I used to do a very hard work in the bush before my family can survive. But after receiving this money from give directly, my life has changed and the hard work has reduced."

"I have a small business to substain my family and I.But the business has gone down because of low cash and can not substain us.If I am successful , I will add up my business to a bigger one that will help my family.This will me feed my gour children and pay their school fees."

"Some of the new goals that I have include having a larger flock of animals in my homestead. I would like to have more goats, cows, and sheep that would generate profit that would help me pay for my children's school fees. I would also want to own a bigger butchery that will continue to help my husband expand the business"

"I definitely have new goals set that I see achieving because I have already set them. I would want to buy a second poshomill so that ill be able to fully cater to the people of my village. The cows that I have need napier grass and a Chaff cutter would be best for that job. With my cows producing milk I will be able to save enough and make sure these goals are achieved"

"It was around 11:38 pm and my family had retired to bed. I heard my phone ring and on checking it I was impressed that we had finally received the much awaited cash from GiveDirectly. I could not believe my eyes. I shared the information with my wife and children who were so grateful a en well. The thought of having the ability to purchase livestock of my own and paying school fees in full really made me happy."

"Since enrollment up to this point, all has been perfectly and I would like to congratulate you for that."

"My two children who are in primary school are most of the time sent home for school fees which is sometimes not available due to the unreliable casual job done by my husband. Upon receiving this money I plan to start a small broiler and layer chicken at my home because there is a high demand in our neighboring town center. I will spend KES 20000 on this business which I believe will greatly help in solving the school fees issues as well as a source of income for my family which will go a long way in providing the family with the basic needs such as food, clothes and other needs."
