"In my village, most of us do not have access to electricity. I thought a solar panel would be helpful to us as a family, regarding having proper lighting.so I spent KES 13,500 on the installation of one. I also spent KES 5,000 on paying school fees for one of my two children, so she can stay in school and learn. Also, my children's clothes had become worn out so I spent KES 5,000 on buying some new ones. Lastly, I spent KES 10,000 on buying maize and beans, to ensure we had enough food for the household. It's amazing how much this transfer has done for us."

"I was working on my farm when at 9 a.m I received a message notification. I checked my phone and saw that I had received the cash transfer I had been expecting from GiveDirectly. I cannot explain how happy I felt. I looked forward to building a new house for my family."
