"No! I don't have any new goals. My old goal was to build a new house. I am a farmer. I plant cassava, when I harvest, I then take it to local markets to sell. I have been doing this to support my family and cater to our needs. Over the past 6 years my leg have been hurting. I no longer make farm. The roof of my house had spoiled. It leaks. My children dropped from school. I couldn't afford to change my house roof or pay my children tuition. I was so excited when GiveDirectly came to my town. I am grateful that I got enrolled in its cash program. Being on program will improve our lives."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly is has done nothing unwell. GiveDirectly is improving our lives. It is giving us unlimited cash and asking for nothing in return. That is amazing. I was overwhelmed when I received my transfer. Our lives will never be the same again after receiving all of the transfers. We are so grateful for this opportunity."

"I was able to buy my Zinc, nails and paid my children school fees. I been struggling with my family support and never succeeded until Givedirectly came in to my life. My days are better for now because I can now afford for my family with out any stress."

"When I received my transfer, I spent KES 25000 to purchase a dairy Cow as an investment that I will rely on in paying school fees for my son through the sale of milk. In addition, I spent KES 10000 to pay school fees for my son who had been sent back home, KES 10000 to buy 15 pieces of iron sheets that I am planning to use in building a more decent house, and KES 9000 on foodstuffs and other household necessities. I currently live in a grass thatched house where I have to change the roof every year and it is also small and we have no privacy as a family."

"I was producing charcoal one morning when my phone give an alert that GiveDirectly has sent my transfer. Upon seeing the transfer in my inbox, I felt very happy because I needed money within that time to pay my children tuition."

"I'm grateful to GiveDirectly for the support because they came to my aid at the right time. I lost my husband and father late last year and since then, life has been very different with me. I had no one to help me financially but with the help of GiveDirectly, I was able to start a business, complete my yearly club and I'm planning to build a house."

"GiveDirectly is doing extremely well to change our lives by giving us the transfer. I feel very happy because they have regained my hope of living a good life."

"I have four grown-up sons who used to sleep in the kitchen and this used to disturb me a lot since I would have to wake them up in the morning so that I would be able to make breakfast for the family. Before GiveDirectly came for enrollment, I had plans to build a more decent and spacious house so that we would convert our main house to be theirs while we make the newly constructed one into the main house. In preparation for this, I had bought some timber and was still looking for money to use to transport them and to buy the remaining materials. I am glad that GiveDirectly saved the situation since I was able to use KES 43000 from the transfer on purchasing the remaining materials and to pay for the labor force. I spent the remaining KES 7000 on clothes and food to last us for some time after using KES 3000 to pay school fees for my son to avoid being sent back home."

"I was sleeping in the house since I was very sick when I received a Mpesa message from Segovia technology. I did not know at first that they were the money I had been expecting but when one of my neighbors visited to know how I was doing, she informed me that the money was from GiveDirectly. I became so happy on knowing this and I immediately called my niece so that he would take me to the Mpesa shop so that I would withdraw the cash since I needed to use part of it to pay for my medication."

"I was at home alone that morning when I saw my neighbor's excited as they head to the nearest market. On making inquiries, I realized that everyone in the village had received the first transfer. I was very excited as well and thanked God as I had great expectations after I was enrolled in the program. Coincidentally, my brother who had moved out of the village some years back had come home and was auctioning his piece of land that was just separated by a fence with mine. I could not let that go but had to commit the whole of my first transfer to the piece."
