""The real plan for this money whenever I receive is to send my children to go to school so that they can become better human being tomorrow. I really want to educate my children but no money.""

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the booming firewood business that has made our lives easier as its profit margin is lucrative at the moment. Buying firewood from the vendors at a wholesale price and reselling in smaller quantities has an attractive profit. Even though I started barely a month ago, it is so far doing well as I am still the only one running the business in the immediate neighborhood. I am thankful to GiveDirectly and I hope that this business will grow to enable us to initiate other projects that we had been hoping for."

"Upon the withdrawal of my first transfer, I had to pick my firstborn daughter who was not feeling well from school, and rushed her to the hospital and luckily enough she was treated and discharged the same day with medication to carry home worth KES 500. With the preparation that we already had, we started sourcing the construction materials since we needed to put up a new house to replace the old one I had been living in with three other members of my family. We visited the nearby town the following morning where we secured 20 iron sheets at KES 15000, 11 kilograms nails at KES 1700, and also had to look for a chainsaw after buying a tree in the neighborhood that was cut down to produce frames and roll posts at a total cost of KES 8000. All these are on the site at the moment waiting for the designated constructor who had been on standby as we avail the required materials before starting the work. I also spent KES 10000 on obtaining foodstuff and other household utilities that were lacking, I purchased clothing for my children, and also supported my brother who was admitted upon a serious involvement in a road accident that rendered him fractured on the legs and a major hit on the skull in offsetting part of the hospital bill. I then saved the remaining amount since I still need to pay the constructor once he completes the work."
