"My life is different in that, I was living a hand to mouth kind of life, because of low in come. I have children in school that required me to pay fees, I also lacked good chairs which I bought. We agreed to at least buy some cows for milk production, both for nutrition in the family and for income. All these were not easy to get."

"When the FOs came to my house during census enrollment, my family had nothing to show as my possession, but now I am able to say that I have welding work shop that gives me good income, my wife is also has fish business and our economic status has improved.

"My life is different in that, when my mother was sick, I was dissolution and thought that she could die should I failed to get money required in the hospital.

I buy them from Nairobi and sell them in the local center.

"My life is different in that, I did not have a decent house and being that I am a retired civil servant, the house I was living in was not worthy, and the pension received could not facilitate building of a better house of my dream. This has resulted to speculation and gossip that I worked and came out with nothing. GD has sealed for me the shame I was under going and at the same time restored the lost dignity and glory."

"Receiving this money means I will buy my plot of land for my children because what I currently have is very small."

"In the next six months, I will have started operating a shop. I know that when this dream actualizes, I will be able to take care of my needs even after GiveDirectly finishes their project in our community.

Accordingly, we no longer spend money on a daily basis - a practice that required continued presence of money. Moreover, we enjoy better health as a family following the presence of sufficient milk that supplement our diet. Thanks a lot GiveDirectly for the support."
