"The biggest difference in my daily life is, I have enough land to farm on because I managed to get some land and paid off a debt which my land was used as collateral security. This has brought happiness in my household because there will be good security in my home. Prior to getting this transfer, I did not have enough land to farm on therefore I could work in people's gardens in order to give a small portion to farm."

"My life is different because I now have a source of income I can confidently rely on unlike the salon business which I used to run in the past but then relying on it was never easy considering the fact that its a once in a while type of a business because people do not make their hair on a daily basis. The cake business has kept me going ever since I launched it and so far I cannot complain about it."

"When I receive this money, I will make great milestones in my tailoring business by investing more capital. I will also be able to pay off my piece of land that I was bargaining for."

"I spent the cash on paying hospital bills for my wife who had gone to deliver our firstborn child. By that time, I had saved approximately 3000 KES which I knew would help me towards the hospital bill payments as well as paying for a transport fee to and from the hospital. I am so glad that the organization sent me the cash at the very right time when I needed it the most."

"In the next six months, I will have started a grocery business. I will be also a poultry farmer because I already own some good number of chickens bought using the transfers. My sources of income will be more than last year and the year before I started to benefit from GiveDirectly. Because of this, I am going to be a reliable mother in my family."

"When I finally buy the solar lighting system which I hope I will have within the next six months, my daily life will definitely change as I will not have to spend daily on kerosene and the brightly lit house will make it easier for my children to read at night without any difficulties. This is great news especially for my child in his final year in primary school and needs to revise more for the final exams later this year."

"I hope that in the next six months, I will have more livestock in my cow shed as I am planning to buy more using the rest of GD transfers. I also have hope of having enough stock of food in my stores because this farming season was a very good one for me. With the help of GD transfers, I was able to buy quality farm inputs and cultivated a much larger piece of land than I ever have before because I could manage to hire labourers to help in the farm activities. I was also able to cultivate a portion of my land that has always been fallow due to lack of resources to cultivate which pleases me because I know my family will go for a very long time before spending on cereals and even have excess to sell in case we have any emergencies."

"In the next six months, I am certain that I will be attending school with little distractions caused by fee arrears. I will have cleared this semesters school fees."

"At my age,am no longer able to do any farm work as well as other duties in the home.I always wished I could own a dairy cow so that I could zero graze.This is because having one will ensure that I will have an income every month without having to strain a lot.Receiving this money means that I will be able to build a dairy shed as well as buy one cow for breeding"

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to build my family a better house.The hut we live in is very small and sometimes am even ashamed to have visitors in my home.I have always wanted to build an iron roofed house but money constraints have not allowed me.This is my chance and am so grateful"
