This leads to my household not have sufficient yield from said farm. This condition als leads us to not have sufficient food to end a farming season cycle."

"it was 10 AM when I was doing laundry then I heard a message tone from my mobile phone. Since I was not expecting to hear from anyone, I decided to proceed with the task I was handling. Before I could finish, I heard another vibration which made me curious ad decided to check the content. I did not be; I've what I saw, it was an Mpesa message from the Segovia Technology, I had finally recived my transfers. Due to the excitement that I had, I remember having to leave the cleaning and called all my family members so that I could share the great news."

"I was preparing breakfast at around 8M when I was preparing breakfast for my children when I heard loud vibrations from my phone. Since I was busy and illiterate at the same time, I asked for a hand in help from one of my daughters. Upon checking, she confirmed that it was an Mpesa that I have eagerly been waiting for. I was very excited and after notifying all my family members, we decided to hold a specific prayer to thank our Lord for the huge blessings."

"On receiving the first transfer, I spent the first KES45000 on the construction of a new house bearing two rooms. We had been living in a small old structure for a long time, and as a young family of two, I saw it good to construct a new one since the family will soon be growing to a bigger one. I needed a semi-permanent one that will still take us for the next 10 years as I will not be planning to put up another one any sooner. With the remaining KES9000, I obtained new bedding and also foodstuff for the household."

"I am so grateful for every work done by GiveDirectly not only to me but also to every other household in the village. Everyone's life was elevated making the villagers work harder to ensure that every coin out of the transfer could be accounted for. I am also glad that every household within the village was enrolled, and no one ever complained as we were given equal amounts to spend on any project we saw fit."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the construction of my new house. Currently, I am in the final stages of the construction as I am now looking forward to fixing the doors and windows before moving in as every other part is ready. It is a good feeling that I am finally having a more presentable house, a similar status with the other neighbors who had been hosting my visitors on my behalf whenever I have more visiting me."

"Having a better shelter has been my dream and upon receiving my recent transfer, I spent KES 13000 to complete building a spacious house for my family as I had started building it using my first transfer. Also, I spent KES 7000 to clear fee arrears for my children so that they would not be sent back home. In addition to this, I spent KES 8000 to purchase two goats as a way of investing this money. I decided on this since living in a dry region and due to prolonged period of drought this year, cows have started dying due to lack of feeds and keeping goats is advantageous as they eat leaves. I spent KES 20000 on food and clothes for my family."
