"Give directly can do everything good"

"Receiving this money means the improved nutritional status of my family. In our culture, we value cows because of milk. Milk has good nutritional value in the development of children. So when I get this transfer I will spend KES 30000 to purchase a dairy cow. I expect to produce milk for household use and if in surplus I will sell to generate income. For the remaining amount, I will build a more spacious iron-roofed house. I have a son who is growing up and in our culture its a taboo for a mother to continue sleeping under one roof with a grown-up boy. This house will cost around KES 25000."

"The biggest challenge is financial constraints. After I resigned from my previous job as a waiter I started making and selling french fries. In this business, I earn KES 150 as profit, with this profit I buy half a liter of milk at KES 20, flour at KES 100, and the remaining amount I buy sugar daily thus nothing more to save. I have a saving group of 35 people and I have to sacrifice some amount as my contribution. I feel that I am struggling but with the hope that my turn will come to receive the contribution."

"The biggest challenge is financial constraints. I work as a mechanic in a garage nearby where I am employed. I earn KES 400 per day this money is enough to purchase food for my family and no extra to save. My mother is single and she is lonely and I was wishing to come and live with us but this has not been possible due to lack of money to build a more spacious house to accommodate all of us."

"I am a local farmer who plaint sugar cain and produce locally made liquor. The rental of steel mill from other areas is a challenge for me in the processing and production of the locally made liquoi. It is strainal for me as a man without a wife"

"When ireceive the transfer, I will construct a hoyse and buy matress and start a mini business"

"We have been struggling to raise school fees for our two children who are at secondary school. In brief, we are currently trying to pay off arrears of KES 20000. So, receiving this money means we shall manage to pay off all the arrears to allow our children to enjoy ample study time. Lately, they have been away from school since they would be sent home to collect the money. Besides, receipt of this money suggests that there will be adequate food in our household. Currently, we are experiencing food inefficiencies due to unfavorable climatic conditions and the laxity of funds."

"Feeding our three dairy cows is a big challenge to us due to a continued inadequacy of feeds. Grasses do not do well in our area owing to unfavorable climatic conditions comprising prolonged dry spells. As such, we usually part with at least KES 300 daily to acquire feeds from local vendors. This strains us financially because I am pursuing a diploma course in education and my four children are also schooling."

"Yes, I have new goals that I didn't have before receiving this money. I'm planning on building a house for my family and I."

"In my opinion, Give directly is doing everything well. I have struggled too much to take care of my family and I, and was able to receive this money from Givedirectly Free of charge just to change my life. My life has really improved since I started receiving transfer."
