"Owning the livestock that I acquired through the financial support from GiveDirectly makes it be the biggest difference in my daily life since I owned nothing at first that I could call an asset. I am happy that I now have assets to depend on in case of any financial crisis."

"If l could not have received this money l could not have started my business and for this reason I could still be depending on my spouse and very sure l could still be going through a lot of problems in my house. "

"My life is different compared to when I had not received transfers from Give Directly. I never thought I could afford to buy land any time soon. I really needed it but the goal could not have been achieved soon enough. Because of this organization, I managed to deposit a total of 105000 KES in a deal to buy a piece of land where I plan to operate my business. Right now I have a sense of hope because I have managed to pay part of the money and soon I won't be paying rent anymore in order to operate my garage."

"I was very happy upon receiving my recent transfer. I had always dreamt of owning my own motorbike. The taxi business that I can do with this motorcycle would be a life changer. Very many young people in my neighborhood have made a decent living for themselves using the business. This made me admire them and also knew that I can only be able like them If I purchased one fo my own. As soon as I got the transfer, I already knew what exactly to buy and where. This has become a constant source of income for me."

"In the next six months, I shall have saved and bought the laptop which will ease my studies and also save me some coins from photocopying handouts.

"The moment I received the money, because I was going to use it for buying land for agriculture."

"My life is better now in that, My standards of living have improved because I can change clothes, Sleep well on a new mattress. Furthermore, I do farm on my very own land which I bought using GD transfers. Prior to getting these money, I used to hire farm land and when I failed to get one due to lack of money, I could spend the whole planting season working on people's gardens in order to get money to support my household via buying food and other basic needs."
