"I am very happy because I will use this money to build a proper houaw. I will also use some of the money to buy food for my family."

"The biggest hardship is lack of food. As you can see I sell tomatoes so that I can earn money for food but sometimes people do not need to buy from me. This means that I do not have money to buy food for my children."

"This money means a lot to me. I am a business person so I will use the money to add as capital to my business. I sell fish and I hope that the business will grow."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well for sending us transfers directly to our phones. This is a surety of getting all the amount promised unlike sending it through the hands of county officials or other agencies. I have not seen anything that GiveDirectly does not do well."

"I could not believe that the money was actually in my phone. I thought it was a lie at the beginning. I was in disbelief, happy and very thankful at the same time."

"I have spent some of it by buying 2 bags of maize of food since I did not have any food in the house. I have also bought blankets to allow me to sleep comfortably. I also want to build a house,since the one i have is very small and could fall down. As of now i have started moulding bricks. I Will buy 24 iron sheets for the roof of the house ."

"I am going to spend on improving my a house. I do not have a proper house. As of not i have already bought 19 iron sheets and timber for fixing the roof. I Will also buy clothes for my family."

"In my opinion, I thank GiveDirectly for coming up with the cash transfer program which has transformed my life for the better. Through the transfer, I was able to construct a house for the family. Previously, I was being sheltered by my neighbour where lack the privacy. I don't think there is anything that it does not do well."

"The moment i received my transfer i was overwhelmed with joy because this the very first time in my life to receive such huge amount of money. Now my life has completely changed as i am now able to access my needs"

"I was very grateful because we used the money to buy roofing materials to build a new house."
