"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have build a better and spacious house. I used to live in a small grass thatched house which was almost leaking from inside. I had always wished to own a better house but I didn't had the money to buy building materials. I depend on small scale farming. Due to my old age I could not do any causal jobs and mostly I depend on my son on food. When I received the transfer from GiveDirectly I felt so happy because I knew I would be able to buy building materials to build a better and spacious house. currently I have a decent house and I sleep so well without being exposed to cold. My house look decent I do not shy to welcome victors into my house. My dream of building a house had been fufiled by GiveDirectly transfer. I am so grateful because GiveDirectly has changed our living standards and enable us to own assets which could have taken quite some time."

"I spent the money I received from GiveDirectly to pay hospital bills for my wife Paid hospital bill for my wife who was admitted at the hospital but unfortunately she passed on after some few weeks. I bought a heifer at a cost of KES 30,000. I plough my farm and bought seeds and ready for planting. The rest of the money I bought food and clothes. I am so happy because GiveDirectly has changed our living standards."
