"The biggest difference in my daily life after receiving the first transfer is the construction of a new house. Even though we have not moved in yet, I have a lot of hope that it will be spacious enough to accommodate us with our four children. It will also be good for them since they will finally find more space to study and complete their assignments every evening after school."

"My major challenge now is lack of money. I am sick and want to visit the hospital, but I dont have money, so I keep draining down from the sickness. My daughter is also not well, and due to undergo surgery, but I dont have money. I also new money to pay my son school fees and for feeding every day, but due to lack of money, things have become so difficult for me, I dont have husband to help me."

"I will buy zinc to fix the house and mattress for the family. I will also get involve with small business."

"Give directly does well by giving unconditional cash transfers to individuals since they are able to prioritize on purchasing what we lack in this case it is the basic needs.I do not see what Givedirectly does not do well."

"My main challenge now is food, because here the birds can damage the rice so I am not engage in rice farming. Currently, I am my household are the only ones working on the farm. Because of of that, we are not able to produce more enough cassava to sell in order to sell to earn money, so it is difficult for us to get food."

"If I am eligible to receive the transfer, I plan to build myself a house. I want to build my own house because I want to be independent, my spouse an I. By owning my own home, then my dream have been accomplished. I want to start a cosmetic business. I want to start a business to be able to sustain myself after the transfer. I will carry the business around in wheel from community to community."

"The first transfers helped in pushing to build the house and so when the second transfers came I bought thirty six iron sheets which went for KES 1,150 each and so I spent KES 41,400 for the roofing and timber worth KES 7,000 because after my house collapsed I slept in the kitchen while my children slept at their grandmothers since we had nowhere else to sleep. I also bought five bags of maize flour that went KES 1,100 which accumulated to KES 5,500 and clothes for my children and I worth KES 7,000 since our clothes were torn and in tatters. Lastly I bought two goats worth KES 6,000 so that I could rear for domestic use."

"I went ahead to pay the debts that I had since I wanted my son to be able to join highschool since two of my eldest daughters dropped out of school some years back due to the lack of financial capability and so since I did not want the same fate for my other children and chose to borrow money and so I paid KES 15,000 that I used for shopping for his school items and KES 18,000 that I paid for his fees and enrollment in school. I also bought two goats at KES 6,000 so that I could rear for domestic purposes. Then I went ahead and bought a bed and two mattresses one to be shared by my sons and the other by me and my daughters because before we used mats to sleep on the ground with which cost me KES 4,500 for the bed and KES 9,200 or the two mattresses. I also paid KES 2,000 in tuition for my three younger kids in primary school and used the remaining KES 3,000 to buy maize flour ."

"I am so grateful to this organization because if it were not for the funds that I received then I would have lost my eyesight because the transfers assisted me in paying for my medical bills which I would have never been able to afford were it not for the financial assistance."

"Upon receiving the second transfer, I went ahead and purchased a heifer worth Kshs.27,000 since we had been buying milk which used to be very expensive. I am now happy that I will be milking my cow in a few months. I also obtained sheep at Kshs.4500 which I am currently rearing and furniture worth Kshs.5000. With the remaining amount, I used to purchase foodstuff and clothing for my family."
