"The biggest difference in my daily life is the Improved health. My wife and myself were able to get treatment that has made us a little lively compared to before when we all were sick and unable to get treatment because we had no money or even means to earn."

"The moment I received my money, I felt happy. I had never held this amount of money. "

"The biggest difference in my daily life is seeing that I was able to buy building materials that I will use to build my permanent house. This will relieve me from the burden of renovating my grass thatched house every year given that my wife and I are too old now and can not support ourselves. "

"The major thing ahead of me is to plaster my house. I am working extra hard to look for funds to enable me to do this. I have started savings towards achieving the project and hopefully soon I would have achieved it. I still thank Give DIrectly because I know through the transfers I would be in a position to plaster my house soonest. I would wish to this before heavy rains begin because we leave in swapy areas and you can plaster during heavy rains because it will automatically destroy."

"My expectation in the near future is to be living in my own house new house. I have been living in my parent's house ever since and I have been planning to have and live in my own for awhile. Once I am done with the house, I would like to start and run a retail business that will act as one source of income. This will help improve my financial status and enable me to take good care of my family."

"Had it not have been my neighbor who informed me that GiveDirectly had sent us the money, I would have continued with my daily work without knowing that I had been made KES 55000 richer. Confirming the good news made me so happy as I knew that I would be able to uplift my living standards."

"In the next six months, my life will have changed in that I will have bought a heifer. I will use the income from my tomato farming and also sell some of my goats to achieve this. With this, I will be knowing that I will be earning an income from the sale of milk after some time."

"In the next six months, my life will have changed in that I will be almost finishing my studies. I also believe that I will have learned and known so many things which will be useful after am done with my studies. Due to this, I will have made a major step towards achieving my life goals which seemed impossible before."

"I am a farmer and my happiness is to always see my farming improve since I will have better returns. Even though I practice mixed farming, I love livestock keeping since I get milk daily for both household consumption and sales that earn me an income. I used part of my transfer to buy a dairy cow to add to my herd. I see this as the biggest difference in my daily life since I feel I have added an asset and soon I will earn more from milk sales. I thank GiveDirectly for adding value to my life as I feel I am a step ahead in life."

"In the next six months, my life will have changed in that I will have started building my self a house. I will be buying the materials needed in bits every month using my transfers. This has always been my dream since I am a single parent and I still live with my parents."
