"GiveDirectly staff are very friendly and they talked to us in a polite and respectful manner.

"My new goal set before receiving this transfer is to break down the current house I live due to the deplorable conditions. Though, my previous planned has been to improve my house roof but I thought it necessary to rebuild the entire house because of the deplorable conditions . My husband died last year and I have been the only source of income for the family. Thanks to Givedirectly for empowering me financially. I believe that with my transfer, I am going to live in a decent house in this village."

"I spent my most recent transfer on Construction materials to have a development in the of Givedirectly transfer. Since I got this money I am always happy with everybody in the community.My life is better than before."

"I spent most of the transfer money on buying chairs and cushions. The chairs and the cushions cost me a total of KES 18000. I had built another house with the first transfer. I was however not able to buy any chair since the money was not enough and hence the house was practically empty. We are grateful to GiveDirectly because we now have nice seats to sit on and relax with our family members and friends. Apart from the chairs and cushions, I also bought three bags of maize at a total cost of KES 12000, four goats at a total cost of KES 15000, clothes at KES 6000, and KES 5000 to agriculture."
