"I spent KES 35000 on a dairy cow because I didn't have one before.I used to buy three litres at cost of KES 150 daily but now I'm stress free because I can now sell my own milk. I also spent KES 2000 on ten chicken layers as a source of income for my family especially when it comes to household expenditure. I also spent KES 1000 on additional stock for my beans business. I also spent KES 10,000 on four maize sacks because there maize scarcity in our place due to long drought spells in our area. I also spent KES 1500 on tractor for hire. I also spent KES 3000 on clothing for my family because initially I used to buy second hand clothes and now my kid's are very neat."

"I spent KES 30,000 of my transfer on a heifer which is currently six months pregnant.I used to buy two cups of milk per day amounting to KES 600 per month because I didn't have any dairy cow. I also spent KES 5000 on adding stock to my Kangumu business in order to generate income and now it's doing well because. Initially, I used to work as motorcycle taxi man for one year and it wasn't bearing fruit. KES 5000 was spent on ten chicken layers because it will be a source of income for my family. KES 16000 was spent on clothing because we didn't have clothing for special occasions. KES 4000 was spent on a goat in order to act as alternative milk supply during my dairy cow dry period."

"I spent KES 4700 of my transfer on food and clothing for my son who just his male circumcision. KES 50,000 I have saved as capital for an hardware business I intend to venture into once I receive the second transfers because there's only one hardware in our place. From the hardware income I intend to use on my kids' school fees and buy an additional piece of land."

"I have been struggling to feed myself and my grandchildren since I am old and cannot work or do piece work and then to receive this money is a huge relief for me as it will enable me to buy enough food for my household and we will not starve again"

"The main challenge is house. My house is small and leaking during rainy season. I also lack food."

"Receiving this money really means alot to me I'm so glad that i have been enrolled and looking forward to the transfer so that I should use it to build a better and bigger house than this one."

"Living in a decent house is what recieving the money means to me when my mother in law passed away my wife inherited the house and we have been living in it since but i would like to use GD money to revovate and finish up the house to stand for more years to come l."

"Rebulding my house is what recieving this money means to me for along time i have been living in this small house unable to buy new things because my house is too small but with GD money i would like to use it to build a bigger house so that i should have enough space for my family and some to keep my properties."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is the lack of a sustainable source of income to sustain my family. I have been unable to fulfil the basic needs on my family such as food and clothing."

"Five years ago I went to Southafrica with my husband in search of green paster,Ideally i thought migrating to a foreign country was the best,I never knew how people survive there,while I was there I had to do small jobs like washing clothes,cleaning houses and other things for me and my husband to survive,even my husband never had a legit job it was really had sometimes we would sleep behind buildings or shops because we never really had a place to live,eventually I got pregnant and gave birth to twins I couldn't do small jobs anymore because I had to stay home with my children we were really suffering upto a point that i asked my husband to send me back here,luckily he did it's been two years since I came back but life hasn't been fair at all.I came here with no Money or anything I relay on casual labour to survive my husband sends me money that can't even last for 3 days imagine k3000?,I'm glad that Givedirectly is here atleast I will have to invest in something the future looks promising now."
