"My life is different than how it would have been had I never received the transfer because I now have a water tank. I am now glad that even though I am still going to the river to fetch water, I believe that this will no longer be the case very soon when it starts to rain. I will be using the water harvested for domestic use and also to water my vegetables during dry season."

"When I received my transfer, I spent the all amount to continue building a house for my family as we had already started building it using our first transfers. When GiveDirectly promised to give us some cash, we decided to build a spacious house whose walls are made of timber instead of clay as it is a bit permanent. I am now glad that even though we were not able cement the floor, it has reduced the hustle if buying clay every now and then to use in dusting the walls."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I never received the transfer because I no longer struggle to meet our daily needs like before. This is because our daily expenditure has reduced as we do not buy milk anymore. Also, my spouse nowadays support me in buying our daily needs by using the income from milk sales. Due to this, I have seen an improvement in my health as I no longer strain doing some odd jobs around the village and I do not have stress anymore."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I am now a proud owner of a dairy cow. It just calved two days ago and I am glad that very soon, my family will have enough milk for our consumption and for sale. I will be using this income to pay for our daily bills. Also, having some goats are assets to me that I can rely on incase of an emergency since finding a buyer to buy one is easier. As a Kalenjin, apart from the pride one derives from owning some livestock, it is an assurance to me that I will be able to see my children through their education."

"My life has been so miserable from the time my spouse passed on some four years back. He was the breadwinner of our family and his demise was a great blow to us. I had no option than to pick all the responsibilities and I had to hustle from the casual jobs to at least earn a living. For all those years life has been stressful because even the house he left us with collapsed and we had to shelter under trees or in people's corridors especially when it rains. At some point it was so embarrassing becasue I had no privacy, my properties were stolen all was just a mess. Therefore having this spacious house has made my life so different and I will forever be proud to mention it. We are now sleeping comfortably with my children without having about the insecurities issues and the rains. Also, the goats that I own will serve as the assets that I will forever depend on especially for my children's education."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well in all areas in regions. This was seen especially on the enrolment process, it was free and fair and no one could complain. Also, the officers were ready to answer any kind of questions we had plus considering our suggestions. I do not see any part that GD failed us in any sector."

"I am very happy for so long I have envied beautiful house in our village. To find ways to have mine was an issue due to limited access to funds and this opportunity is bringing light to my long waiting dream."

"In my opinions, GiveDirectly has done well for sending me the cash transfer which has supported me in getting my result and starting my ECD Course. I don't see anything wrong with the program."

"I have lived in this village for many years but I have never received nor made this amount of money on my own. As a family that only relies on farming for survival, it is on very rare circumstances where we manage to have an amount of money to use for other activities. This is so as we rarely harvest enough to keep and also sell some for money. Now this money will help us make our dreams come true. We would like to have a better house of our own, adequate food and fertilizer as well as good household items. I believe people in the community will be happy too as many were struggling to have money and do anything they would want as long as its for their families."

"As a young family, we struggle in a lot of ways to make a living. Even though we are energetic to do a business, opportunities to find loans are very scarce and we do not even benefit from any program targeting the youth like our counterparts in towns. This money will be used to start a small business which will be of benefit in future. We shall also set some funds aside to construct a comfortable house for us as we do not know when we shall ever make this amount of money for free again. In addition, we will also try to buy some fetilizer and clothes. This is so as we do not harvest enough due to lack of fertilizer and our clothes are few. We are vey happy to get enrolled in this program by Give Directly."
