"I would want to live in a spacious house with iron sheets. Currently, I reside in a leaking 3metre by 4metre makuti thatched house which serves as a bedroom, store, and kitchen. Getting this money will enable reconstruction. Moreover, the cash will also cater for fees since I have five children in primary school."

"My main challenge is i don't have money. I want pay my children school fees for the next school year but i don't have money."

"I want to build a new house, add up my business and pay my children school fees."

"The main problem i face right now is my house is leaking. I don't have money to buy zinc for my house."

"All my children are in cestors going to school. We have been facing serious financial challenge. The only that can give Uus money has sention which is the coconuts. We don't do anything else than selling coconuts."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the heifer I obtained after receiving the first transfer. This is a great joy in my family as it has never been any easier for us to share the milk with my parents that are not always enough. Having to raise our cow at the moment gives me hope of producing even surplus liters to sell in the future."

"As a farmer, I had been fully dependent on small-scale farming producing short-season crops as a source of income. This project has been useful in settling school fees for my four sons in secondary school. With the first transfer, I decided to spend KES45000 on clearing school fees for the three sons leaving one since I will continue supplying their school with farm produce. With the remaining amount, I managed to obtain two sacks of maize each at KES 2500 and the remaining on replenishing other household goods."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the great space we are currently enjoying in our new house. We had been living in a smaller one but after the complete construction, we can now use the smaller one as a kitchen that can also offer enough sleeping space for the children, and the other bigger house as the main house that can provide room for the visitors. I am glad that this has been possible and grateful to God also as we had been able to carry out all, those plans without any difficulty."

"I felt great the moment I received my first transfer. I was home alone when I received a notification message on my phone as my children were out to their respective schools. I had to check it immediately and was happy that the promised amount was already in my account. I could not control my joy but had to first thank God for answering our prayers. I had to inform other members of my family who were already out to their casual work who were equally happy and thanked God for the great support we were getting From GiveDirectly."

"Receiving the transfer was the best moment ever since I was enrolled with GiveDirectly. I had been living with great expectations as we were promised and have also seen the great work in other villages. It was early in the morning when I received a message confirming the receipt of the transfer. With my wife by my side, we had to first confirm the account balance s we celebrated the great news. Withdrawing it had to happen the same day as we already have the plans to improve the existing businesses and start a new one with the remaining amount."
