""If I am bless to get a cash transfer from Givedirectly, I intend to build a house for my children and use the remaining to start a business that will bring in regular cash to support my children. The house I am living in presently is breaking down on us and that I inherited it from my late uncle. My children can not inherit it, but if I build my own house, my children can inherit it. Even though I cut contract daily to help me and my children with food, but the money I make is not sufficient to help build house and at the same time cater to my family. If Givedirectly will be kind enough to provide me with a cash to change me and my children life I will remain forever grateful"."

""If I am bless to receive cash transfer from Givedirectly, I intend to pay for my children school fees and use the remaining to start a business. Even though I do contract to make money to support my children in school and buy food for the family, but the money I get is not enough to give them the real education. Right now one of the children is attending in Gbaweleken Town school called Demonstration, while the other two are in Fish Town attending school, but the school fees has gone up because of the hard time. So, it not easy to get money now from the contracts I do. If Givedirectly give me any help, it will help me educate my children well"."

"It was in the morning around 9 am and I was in the house busy looking after my grandchild. As a result, I did not hear my phone ringing. I saw it later when I was done changing the baby's diaper. I was so happy when I saw the SMS saying that I had received the promised transfer of KES 55000 from GiveDirectly. I was especially most happy because I knew my life and that of my family was now going to change."

"I will make a bigger farm, pay my children school fees and buy my new mattress. I hardly allow my friends into my room because I'm ashamed of the mattress I am sleeping on. If I get new mattress, I will be free to invite my friends to my place."

"My trustee was having my phone when the message came on it. He run to me with the phone and said that givedirectly has sent me money, I was very much happy and rejoicing that day. I was happy because in my whole life I haven't received such money for free without paying back. Right away I told my trustee to go and withdraw my money."
