"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is inadequacy of money. I don't have any income generating activity and yet I have a lot of responsibility. I depend on agriculture so as to be able to pay school fees, feed the family and provide any other needs of the household. "

"Receiving this money means I will be able to build an iron roofed house. The one that I have is grass thatched and it is hard to maintain. Grass is so scarce these days. "

"Receiving this money means I will be able to formalise my marriage, buy a piece of land for cultivation purposes and start up a business that can generate income for my household. This will support in family maintainance."

"The biggest hardship I face is lack of farm land. Iam mainly carrying out subsistence farming on hired land. This is so costly and some times the owners let me farm unfertile land hence low productivity. Iam in mostly cases producing what is not sustainable enough for my family members and there is alot of hunger."

"My plan is to spend Givedirectly unconditional cash for building iron-roofed house. Iam staying in an area which is bear and expensive to get thatching grass. It has proved difficult to maintain the current house and also do some savings for the family because of this costs. Once I build acomforble house, my family will in position to have a better accomadation. Also Money being spent on routine maitianing of the current house will be saved for providing basic needs to my family members."

"My life is now different in that receiving this transfer brought great relief to me because I had been struggling for long to raise school fees for my son who is in his final year of study. I paid KES 50000 in advance for him so that he would continue with his studies without any interruptions concerning school fees. Also, I now own a heifer which to me is an asset. In addition to this, I have been able to provide my family's basic needs such as food effectively as well as paying for other household expenses."

"My new goal is to start saving for my future projects. I am currently thinking of a business idea that I can do while at home. I recently gave birth and I can't do any casual job yet. I want to start something that will bring good income which will enable me to take care of my needs easily without entirely depending on my husband."

"Currently, my life is different from how it was in that, I am self dependent. I used to depend on relatives for financial support and most of the time I could be disappointed because they were not able to send money when I needed it most instead send the money later on. I am also proud because I have been able to save save money with an aim of building my mother a house. I had never thought of saving and thought that it was actualy inpossible. I know that I will be able to build the house very soon."

"I expect to save more, add to my other savings and buy a motorcycle to help in generating income for the family. This is the main source of income for my family. Having one more will guarantee that we will never actually lack finances during constraints."

"In the next six months, I expect to save and buy more livestock to expand my livestock rearing. I will have a very large flock that I would not have to worry about any financial constraints. We can get milk for sale and also consume some to nourish us."
