"By giving us money directly, Give Directly does really well and has changed our lives."

"I spend the transfer on alot of things. I was able to buy a bicycle, mattress, food, clothes and I am building a house."

"My life changed and it is still changing. For the past year I was lacking money to buy fertilizer.but this year I will be able to buy fertilizer and I am so happy about that."

"Recieving this money means I will achieve my dream of building a good house and start a timber yard which I have always admired to do. I am an orphan and live with my brother who is a casual laborer at a timber yard near our home. We leave in a small compound that we got from our uncles and we always have to look for casual jobs with my brother in order to get something to eat.This has been a struggle from our side since we lost our parents. I plan to spend 400 dollars to build a new house, spend 50 dollars to start my timber yard business and spend the remaining to stock food for us."

"Give Directly does very well in helping us. We are very grateful because we now have houses we did not have before."

"The moment that I received the money was a joyful moment, I was very happy to receive the transfer."

"I spent my transfer on different things. With the transfer I was able to buy things like maize, mattress so that I sleep comfortably, fertilizer, some furniture, clothes and also glasses to renovate my house."

"For along time I have wanted to have many cattle as I used to , most of my cattle approximately twenty four cows were paid of as dowry for my two sons.I, therefore, want to buy at least two dairy cows worth sh 60,000. The milk they produce and the young ones will sustain me in terms of food and nutrition and also I shall be selling the calves to gather for household needs. I also want to build a modern house because the current house I live in is small and smoky. The smoke has affected my eyes a lot, building the new house will therefore help me since I can only be cooking in the kitchen and spend most of my time in the other house ."

"I spent 30,000ksh of the second transfer on paying school fees for my children in various secondary school. The rest of the money I used it to rent a piece of land and planted maize and potatoes. I am so grateful for the support because GiveDirectly has changed my living standard."
