"I spent part of my forst transfer on buying some building materials such as iron sheets, building poles, nails, and threads. This was purposely for the construction of the new house because the previous one was in bad condition and very small. Also, I bought some bedding such as a new wooden bed and a mattress. These were to replace the old mats that I have been using for all those years. In addition to that, I bought some goats that would serve as assets that I can lean on in case of financial difficulties. I also cleared school fees for my children who are still in primary, this will enable them to study without any disturbances. With the remaing amount, I bought enough foodstuffs for the family."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now a proud owner of two dairy cows. I will achieve most of my goals from the dairy cows, first I will be getting milk for my children and sell the remaining few liters to the local markets and to my neighbors as well. initially, it was so difficult for me to take milk since it was costly and very rare to get them since there were few people owning to dairy cows in my village because of poverty. To add to that, the money that I will be getting from the sale of milk will boost my standards of living because I am planning to start a business from the sale of the milk. This will be my additional income making me wealthier within a short period of time since both of these businesses are so lucrative."

"I was very happy and I cannot even explain how happy I am with the help. There is no process that I fell was unnecessary everything is in its place"

"Everything is quite well me. All the process were well carried out well"

"I spent part of my first transfer on buying some building materials such as building poles, nails, thread, iron sheets, and timber. This was for the construction of a new house because the previous one had collapsed and I was sheeting under a temporary hut. I also bought goats as living assets to depend on in case of any financial crisis. Also with the remaining amount of money, I bought enough foodstuffs and decent clothes for my children."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is owning the cow. I am expecting that it will reproduce and increase in number. I am planning to sell the offspring to raise fees for my children who are still young. Besides being an asset to me, I will also be getting milk for my family's consumption and sell the surplus and earn an income."

"I spent KES 19000 of my first transfer on buying a cow. At least I have an asset at my homestead. I am expecting to sell milk for an income besides the cow reproducing and have many of them. In addition to this, I also bought some building materials which include building poles, nails and iron sheets in order to construct a new house. My previous house was small and almost collapsing. I could not renovate it since I could not afford to buy the required materials. Lastly, I also bought a new bed and a mattress and replaced the old beddings that I have been using for years."

"I was greatly overjoyed when I saw the message that I had received my first transfer from GiveDirectly. My children had been sent home due to fee arrears and I could not raise the money required. I thanked them since I could now clear the school fees for my children to resume their learning."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now have a decent iron roofed house to live with my family. For many years now, I have depended on charcoal burning from which I was getting little money. Because of the nature of this job, I could not do it daily. Thus every coin from this was just for food. I had no plans of building a decent house since I could not afford to purchase the required materials. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for fulfilling this to me."

"I spent part of my first transfer on buying livestock which include a cow and a goat that I am currently keeping in my homestead. My expectation is that they will reproduce and increase in number. I can readily sell the offsprings in case of a financial need. I also paid KES 5000 for my children's school fees. They are now comfortably continuing with their studies without interruptions on fees. I also bought new school uniforms for them. I spent the remaining amount to buy daily food and other household items."
