"Finding food consistently for my family has always been hard for me as a man because I depend on subsistence farming and casual labour,of which sometimes I am given money yes, but not good enough to Carter for my family."

"I feel so blessed and happy about the prospect of receiving this money, it is something that I did not expect throughout my life, alot of things will change here, I will buy iron sheets, and bricks for my new house ...I do not have proper household items the money will also help to fill a gap on that one. God should bless the ones that have contributed to this huge amount of money to be made available to us soon, we thank you so much."

"The biggest hardship I have ever faced it hunger,my household and I constantly suffer from hunger because we don't make enough money that can caterer for our food through out the year,secondly is shelter as you can see we live in a glass fatched house that leaks so much during rainy seasons and I'm truly excited because i feel like these things will surely change after getting the transfer."

"The biggest hardship I ever face is hunger,as a household our main occupation is farming which varies with how much inputs we are willing to provide and this whole process depends with how much money we make on daily basis from our small firewood business,apparently we live in unfinished house all because we don't earn much to surely finish the house. Mostly we lack food,clothes and proper beddings."

"I would like to express my gratitude to GD for this program. I am so grateful. My life will change. With the money, I will manage to buy some bags of cement so that I can do plaster my house. I will also buy some bags of maize so that I can supplement on the food that i have."

"The school has been my major responsibility, I have Five children who are currently Schooling both in primary and secondary schools respectively, One of them had cleared his studies but was unable to collect his certificates due to the huge balance that I had not cleared up. On receiving my transfer I channelled KES 40,000 to clear the school fees arrears, it came as a relief to me, I then used the remaining KES 10,000 to pay school fees for the rest of my children."

"My husband was jobless after losing his job, he was our breadwinner, We had to depend on well-wishers and casual jobs to survive, life was rough and unbearable, but all this is in the past, We have a motorcycle that we bought with the transfer money, it's now our source of income because my husband ventured into a motorcycle taxi business, I am so happy and grateful that we no longer go to bed on an empty stomach, we will forever be indebted to GiveDirectly."

"Money access is a challenge. I don't have a reliable source of income."

"I have had dreams to start a business but to find money as a capital for that business has always been a struggle. I believe now I will be able to fulfil that wish with the money that I am about to receive from Give directly"

"I have been hearing so much about the program and when I heard that were coming I was so happy because I knew if I get enrolled into the program, I would be able to receive some money of which I would use to build a much better house as the one I currently live in is small and grass thatched and it badly leaks during heavy rain making it very uncomfortable to stay in it."
