"I bought zinc and materials for my house project. I bought food for my workers and give my wife money to treat herself because she has been sick for the past two months now. I also used part of the transfer to pay my children school fees all of my children are staying in Monrovia with their mother. Thanks to Givedirectly for the opportunity given to me I'm so happy and grateful."

"In my own opinion, Givedirectly has done so many good things in my life. My life is changing gradually because of GiveDirectly. I wish i could payback all the things they has done for me.i'll keep appreciating every minute of my life."

"I spent KES 18,000 to purchase 2 cows and 2 goats, this was a long-term investment for our future. I was planning to sell them when they multiply to cater to any emergency that might arise in the future. This is because I did not have any investment for my family and I always found it tough whenever I encounter any uncertainty in my life. In addition, I spent KES 10,000 to purchase iron sheets, my plan is to renovate my house which is leaking and about to downfall by putting up a new roof. Furthermore, I set aside KES 10,000 for labour charges. With the remaining part, I bought some pairs of clothes for every family member and bought enough food with the rest of the transfer."

"Owning a reliable source of income after starting goat rearing is the biggest difference in my life. Currently, I am able to meet my basic needs, especially food without much struggle. In addition, I am sleeping using modern beddings something that has relieved me of the body pain I was experiencing every morning after sleeping using sacks."

"Before receiving the transfer, I was living in a poor state. My husband and I were relying on making and selling charcoal for a living after our motorbike broke down. When I received the transfer, I repaired the and now he has started working on the transport industry. This has made a big difference in my life since we are no longer struggling with logs in the forest for charcoal making but we get our living from the motorbike. I sincerely send my gratitude to the entire organization for this program."

"Constructing a decent house for my family has always been my desire. This is because the one I have is very old and is collapsing from the inside. I was risking my life as well as those of my grandchildren who were living in the house. This made my life uncomfortable since I was always worried that the house may fall at any time. After receiving my transfer, I prioritized the construction of a new house by purchasing the building materials such as timber, building poles, nails, and iron sheets for KES 12,000. Furthermore, I bought small households utensils such as plates for KES 2000. With the remaining amount, I saved KES 35,000 which will help me in finalizing the construction of the house and paying the labour costs."
