"It will nean alot i will top up my business"

"Receiving this money mean a lot to me. Over the years I have been planning to start irrigation project but the money that I get from Boda Boda business is only for basic needs. This money will allow me to start my dream project. I will be able to grow crops even during dry season."

"This money from Givedirectly will help me and my family alot i had been planning on building a new house for a long time, so the money will make me realize this dream."

"I have been wishing to build another house after the current house's roof was blown away by wind.When I receive the money I will use 40,000 Kenya shillings to build a two roomed house. I will also use 40,000 Kenya shillings to buy 2 cows and 5 goats which will provide income and assist in times of need. The remaining amount will be used for basic needs such as food and clothing."

"My biggest hardship is the lack of a reliable source of income. This has hindered me from meeting my daily needs such as food. Something that has stressed me a lot. I am a casual laborer who does casual jobs at our nearby center. In a day I make at least 200 shillings this amount is not enough to meet my family needs such as food."

""My ambition has been to construct a house but due to financial challenges this dream has never arisen. I am planning to spend 70,000 shillings to construct a spacious house which can accommodate my family of 9 members and visitors and my grandchildren when they come to visit me. This will enable me to live a comfortable and decent life. In addition, I am planning to spend the remaining amount to clear my hospital bill. I have been suffering from stroke which has affected both my left limb."

"It has always been my wish to build a decent house for my family of 3 members. Currently, the house I own is leaking and risky because it about to callapse on one side. Receiving this money means a better shelter for my family since I am planning to spend $ 250 to construct a one-room house. I will invest $ 300 of the remaining amount in goats rearing which will be my realible source of income to assist me in any financial emergency."

"None"

"The funds will really be helpful. I will be able to renovate my house, buy food and nice beddings."

"Hunger has been the problem."
