"Currently, my life is different from how it was in that, I can plan and reach my goal because I am certain of getting my monthly transfer. I have also been able to repay the debts that I owed most of my friends. I feel relieved and even more free with them unlike before where I could only think of avoiding them. I always kept thinking of where to get the money to repay them. I am also focused on my life. I started saving for my future projects which are; starting a business and establishing a home."

"I spent part of my transfer to boost my business. The business was not doing well, the sales were very low. I normally sell clothes. I am happy that after boosting it, the response is positive since my income has improved. Previously I used to hawk in the streets of Nairobi which had a lot of challenges and getting low income by the end of the day. I finally managed to put up a temporary structure where I sell my clothes and added more stock to the ones I had. I feel that this business is better than hawking because I get more customers and do not get tired from walking a lot."

"I hope that in the next six months, I will have raised enough money to buy the necessary construction materials and constructed a new kitchen which can also serve as a bedroom for my teenage grandchildren. Constructing this kitchen will also save my family from always inhaling toxic smoke from the firewood used whenever we have to cook inside the house, especially during the rainy season as we will no longer use the main house."

"I believe that were it not for Give Directly, I wouldn't have managed to complete building my house that was halfway done. For a long time now, the construction process was stopped because we didn't have enough money to complete it. But when Give Directly came it was a new dawn for us because we knew that we would complete the house which we have now moved in. Apart from that, I also purchased some clothes for our children. I feel proud because I used to get embarrassed when they wore indecent clothes. Our lives are now better and I thank Give Directly for that."

"In the next six months I expect to have joined college and paying my college fee on my own through my project of poultry keeping."

"In the six months I will now focused on farming being that it is the only way I can generate money, since i have finished receiving money from give directly."

"In the next six months l do not expect any big change although I will continue enjoying the benefits I got while I was still receiving money from give directly."

"My life wil have become good because I will have completed school payment for my son. I will now remain with the money I will be getting every month to spend on other needs that will grow my families wellness. I will even have the national Hospital Insuarance Fund cover for my family to allow us to have accves yo good healthcare services. "

"I will have more from livestock investment. When I invest my savings in sheep, I will see to it that they multiply and be a big income generation activity. "

"Receiving this money will enable me to build a house which is my first priority.I live in a grass thatched house which is just a single room.During the rainy season the roof leaks.It is also old and too small to accommodate the whole family.I will also buy a dairy cow which will serve as a source of income when I sell milk as well as a source of milk for consumption.My daughter will be joining college come September and therefore Give Directly has come at the right time to rescue me from this dilemma.I totally had nothing to take my child to college.
