"The biggest difference in my daily life is the availability of enough food in my household. I was much dependent on my daughter who had been working so hard to fix everything right from the farm work, livestock, and also household chores as she ensured that we find our daily food. It was not always smooth as we have gone some days without any food. Living with a disability has never allowed me to get off my wheelchair so that I can also try some work. I am now grateful to have received the transfer as a lot has now changed."

"Having a cow that is currently producing enough milk for my family is the biggest difference in my daily life. This has changed a lot as my children are eating healthy, and at least can't afford to miss a class of milk thrice a week. I am grateful for the changes that are currently manifesting both within my household and in my farms, as I have really improved a lot with the first transfer I received."

"I spent $180 to purchase one local dairy cows. My plan was to boost the livestock rearing an activity I had started with the first transfer. This is because I have enough experience of animal farming. Also,my husband is a shopkeeper and we decided to use the remaining amount to boost his business by purchasing more stock. Nowadays, the profit from our business has increased from $50 to $80 per month."

"In my opinion, I thank GiveDirectly for sending the cash transfer which has transformed my life for the better. I am now self-dependent after purchasing a sewing machine because I had the skills in tailoring."

"My life is different than it would have been if I had never received the transfer in that I have a proper lighting system in my house which enhances the education of my children because they are now doing their homework well. Back in the day, I was using paraffin lamps which is costly because I had to buy paraffin every day. Furthermore, I was able to boost my livestock keeping by purchasing 2 more dairy cows which will increase the milk production hence enough milk supply for the family. Similarly, I will be able to sell the extra milk to earn a living. I also have future savings for my children after putting aside some amount for any emergency."

"As a family, our living standard has greatly improved. We dress well and have sufficient food. With the water tank that I purchased, I no longer have to work miles away in search of fresh water for household consumption. I also have a spacious kitchen and furniture. Was it not for the transfer, I would still be in a sorry state in terms of well-being."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well by uplifting people through cash transfer and Ido not see anything that they do not do well."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer. This is because I was able to practice timely farming this year. Due to this, I am optimistic of a good harvest that will last us for a longer time compared to previous years. Also, have been able to buy a heifer an asset that I never thought I would one day be able to afford it."

"When I received my transfer, I spent around KES 3000 on farming by hiring some people tk hell me weed my maize farm plantation. Also, I spent some amount in improving my house. I bought a door at KES 3000 and paid for the labor of fixing it in the door to my bedroom. Due to this, I can now leave anything in my dedroom without worrying of being taken by someone else as I always lock the door. I saved the remaining amount for emergency purposes after spending around KES 20000 on food, clothes and beddings."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well by giving out financial aid and I do not see anything that they do not do well."
