"In my opinion, Givedirectly did well for sending us cash transfer which has helped us since we used it wisely and has transformed our life."

"My life different that it would have been if I had never received my transfer in that, I now live better after receiving my transfer. I was able to construct a spacious house for my family since the previous one was very small. Also, I was able to start livestock rearing a reliable source of income for my family. In addition , I was able to clear the school fees for my kids and we are now having enough food for my family."

"My wish had been to providing quality education for my children so they may have a better future, however, I am encountering a lot of financial challenges to fulfill my dream. Therefore, after getting my transfer, my priority was to clear the fees balance of $150. Also, I had a wish to open a water tap in my homestead since there is a water shortage after the dams dried off due the drought conditions in our area. Currently, we are dependent on tap water and I invested $150 on purchasing the materials needed for this project. Lastly, I bought solar and purchased food for my family."

"In my opinion, Givedirectly did well for sending us the cash transfer which has open doors for development in my life. I was able to start livestock rearing, this will help me in raising and educating my children once they reproduce. I don't see anything wrong with the program. I just wish it to continue assisting the poor."

"In my opinion, I thank Givedirectly for the grant that has transformed my life. Through the transfer, I was able to improve my farming by purchasing Ox-plough and I got back my privacy by building a separate house for my son."

"Givedirectly does well for sending us cash transfer which has to develop us in many ways. I was able to get proper medical care for my child who broke his legs. I spent almost $300 on her medical bills."

"After receiving the second transfer, clearing school fees for my two sons was a priority. I spent 23000KES on my elder son who is currently in the University and 16000KES of the remaining for my daughter currently in secondary school. With the last bit that was still in my account, I used it on buying cement, sand, and the transport cost towards the completion of the floors and walls in the new house."

"The decision made by GiveDirectly to disperse the support in monetary value was a great favor to me. This was a chance to decide what to spend on. I can't complain at all since what I have seen happen few months after the transfer is a clear testimony that GiveDirectly has done a great job."

"I spent part of my second transfer on buying livestock such as a dairy cow which cost KES 15000. This has been my desire to keep it in my compound but becasue of my financial status, I could not afford it. Also, I purchase an ox plough at KES 8500 for the oxen that I had initially bought with the first transfers. In addition to that, I cleared school fees for my children's KES 4000. I am glad they are no longer been interrupted with their studies anymore. With the remaining amount, I bought enough foodstuffs for my children and it's a relief now because we at least two meals which were not possible during those days."

"A lot has been happening in my life but the fact that I now have a spacious house makes the biggest difference in my life. Previously, I used to stay in a bad condition house which was also very small therefore some of my children had to stay at their friend's house. Since I solely depended on casual jobs and the little I could earn was not even enough to renovate my house. After getting the transfers I had to prioritize the same. I now feel complete and proud like the rest courtesy of GiveDictly. Aso through the dairy cow, I have started getting plenty of milk and my children are now benefiting. Taking the daily milk has made them healthier and with the remaining liters, I have been selling them to my neighbors and getting an income through them."
