"Obtaining a lactating cow that has been providing us with enough milk since I received the first transfer has been the biggest difference in my daily life. I am glad that the huge spending that we had been experiencing stopped the moment I bought a dairy cow. At the moment, I have been able to provide other household goods with ease using the saved amount that I would have used on buying milk."

"With a family of seven, it has been hard for all of us to share a small space within our current house. The receipt of the transfer was an opportunity for us to construct an extension on the main house to provide a room for my five children. I purchased 14 iron sheets, construction poles, around 130 timber, bricks, sand, and also gravel at a total cost of KES 51000. According to the constructor, the materials will be enough to construct a new room and all I am still looking forward to buying is some bags of cement. I also spent the remaining on buying clothing after paying KES 10000 from my savings to the labor charges that worked on the construction of the foundations. I am glad that all is set for the construction and will soon see the new room ready for my children."

"I'm saving my transfer to purchase a commercial motorbike for my husband to start a business."

"I am planning to buy zinc with my first transfer."

"It was exactly 8:30 am when I was in my house resting before going to the forest to prepare charcoal for my customers. My helper come to the house to inform me that the other villagers had received the transfer and I should check my phone. I handed over my phone to him and after checking, he informed me that I had received my transfer like others in the village. I was so excited since it marks the end of seeking shelter from the neighbors after my house collapsed."

"Before I could start receiving my transfer, I have been living in a family house but with the help of GiveDirectly transfer, I was able to buy my house materials and my husband and I are building our own house."

"I spent my recent transfer to pay debts and Educate my kids."

"The moment when I received the money I was very happy because this is my first time handling such amount of money in my entire life."

"I paid my son tuition and bought zinc with my balance transfer to renovate my house."

"My long-term desire has been to construct a decent house for my 2 boys who were seeking shelter from our neighbors. Seeing them moving from one neighbor's house to the other eat away the join of my life. I spent KES 17,000 to purchase iron sheets and payment of Labor charges for the construction of the house. My kids are now happy staying in a proper shelter like other kids in our society. In addition, I used KES 15,000 to renovate my house by constructing an additional room since the one I had was very small. Even though it was small, I was sharing it with my co-wife. Furthermore, I used KES 7,000 to pay part of the school fees for my children one in secondary and the other 4 in primary school. We used the remaining amount to purchase 2 goats and food for my family of 10 members."
