"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now a proud owner of a dairy cow. I opted to buy it because I am optimistic I will achieve a lot from its various benefits. First, I will be getting some milk for free for my family consumption. This will serve as their surplus to their daily meals. To add to that, I will sell the remaining liters to the local markets in my region and generate an income. I will save the little money that I will be earning and pay school fees for my children who are still in school. Also, I will no longer strain in meeting their daily needs like before."

"I am planning to spend my second transfer on building a better house. I live in a single-roomed house that is too small to accommodate my entire family leave alone visitors. I am forced to take my visitors to spend their nights at my neighbor's house something that is immensely inconveniencing them. I am planning to purchase materials worth kes 30,000 and the remaining balance will to buying household items."

"I had been deeply thinking of how I would fulfill the promise I had given my child as she resumed back to university for her studies. I remember it was around 1 PM when I received a message and upon checking it was from Mpesa confirming that I had received money from GiveDirectly. I felt so happy and relieved of the thoughts and borrowing of money that I had been doing to settle my child's university fee."

"I had been lucky I had built a semi-permanent house with the help of my children. Living in this house has always been my happiness, however, the continuous degeneration has made it lose its beauty. It has been hard for me to renovate it due to my limited resources and the children I depend on having the burden of their respective families. When I received my first transfer, I used part of it to renovate and paint my house. This is the biggest difference in my life since I live in a comfortable and decent house. I thank GiveDirectly since It wasn't for them I wouldn't be in such a beautiful house and enjoy its comfort."
