"Receiving this money means an additional income to me. Depending on my neighbour's motorcycle taxi business for a living is somewhat straining as I have always had to surpass daily targets to have some money to give the employer as well as save. From the days' income, I give my employer KES 300 daily and save the rest. I had already accumulated KES 10000 but unlucky, I was involved in an accident and I used all this savings to cater for the damages caused. Thanks to God, Give directly has come in handy for I intend to use KES 60000 to purchase a second-hand motorbike hence my ambition of owning a motorbike to earn income will come true. I will use the rest of the transfers to build a 2 roomed iron-roofed house."

"I bought some clothes for my children and myself. We didn't have cloths to wear. Due to the challenges of getting food to eat, I could not buy clothes for the family. We were nacked many days in the village. My kids would walk and play many days without clothes on. It was a shame for my family. Neighbors would laugh at us because I couldn't buy ordinary clothes for my kids while they were buying for their kids most times. I also bought a mp3 player that is use for watching movies. The balance money was used to buy some bags of rice for the family."

"I bought zinc with part of my transfers i received from Givedirectly."

""In my opinion, Givedirectly has been so good to me. With the help from Givedirectly i have been able to send my children to school this semster. Givedirectly came to me without me giving them anything's in return. The staff of Givedirectly alway smile and talk to me nicely..What i don't like about Givedirectly is that their works do not eat food from us nor drink from us."

"Givedirectly tried to help us improve our living condition and I am happy of what Givedirectly is doing. Some of us had a great ambitions, dream and vision, but never had the finances to purchase the material resources to excute our plans, but with Givedirectly cash assistance program. we are now excuting some of what that were planned and even going beyond."

"I couldn't afford to pay my kids school fees, I was getting assistance from my sister. Now that I started to receive the transfer I can pay their school fees myself. I'm grateful for the transfer."

"My new goal is to improve my business by buying more things so that the business can expand."

"I don't know what GiveDirectly is doing that doesn't seem well. But am glad for the help that GiveDirectly is giving us. GiveDirectly is doing well by giving us phone, sim card and also cash to help us and our families."

"GiveDirectly is doing well by giving people money to do what they can do inorder for them to help themselves. But for what they are not doing well, I haven't discovered yet."

"I have decided to extend my fish business and do additional business like dry goods selling and sent my children to school, God first in my life and the GD family's second in my life. When i was in this town, sending my children to school was a problem for me, but with the help of Give Directly I can now provide for myself and family."
