"I spent part of my first transfer on buying beddings which include a new wooden bed and mattress at a total of KES 11000. Since I was married I used to sleep on a traditional bed which was never comfortable was always complaining of backaches because of the discomforts. To add to that, I cleared school fees for my five children who are in primary schools. They have been on ad off for the entire team because of their huge arrears which used to frustrate them resulting in poor performance. With the remaining amount of money, I bought decent clothes and sufficient foodstuffs like flour, rice, beans, and vegetables. I am happy my children no longer skip meals as they used to do before."

"The biggest difference in my life since I started receiving payment from GiveDirectly, my husband and I have been jobless for so long. For this reason, we have been struggling very hard to take care of our daily needs. Wonderfully, with this transfer I was able to buy some building materials such as woods, roofing nail and some bags of cement. Henceforth, I have now started a little business with the remaining money that will be a source of income for my family and I. I am very excited to be a beneficiary of this unique opportunity."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly has been doing well from the beginning of this program until now. The level of works done by this Organization cannot be compared to any. Their love and care for the needy is so much rewarding. Truly speaking, GD had not done anything wrong. They are the reason we are now happy again. Thank you GiveDirectly."

"From the day I received my transfer message from GiveDirectly, my daily life had been filled with so much excitement. I was really desiring to start a palm oil business of my own in order to be financially stable and dependent. But due to financial constrained, my desired was never met. However, with this transfer, I was able to buy some gallons of palm oil and now I am a business man and soon I will become an employer. I am grateful to GiveDirectly to be a part of this program."

"Presently,am thinking about sending my children to school and roofing my house inorder to have a befitting dweeling place."

"I am thinking about building a new house for my family here in cestos city.This is something that I didn't ever dreamed of,thanks to Givedirectly I am moving on with my project"

"I used most of my money to build my shop and pay my daughter's tuition"

"I spent most of my transfer on purchase of building materials for my son's house because he's grown up, some on bed and beddings because we didn't have a bed and clothing for my family because we didn't have occasion clothes because initially we relied on quarry work for food"

"The moment I received was around 10 o'clock in the morning while preparing 10 o'clock tea. I was very excited and couldn't help but spread the good news to my neighbors who were equally excited because they had received theirs almost the same time."
