Kipsang
received a $23 twelfth payment.
"My expectation in the near future is that once I get back to my usual state of health, I would want to be financially stable and even have some money kept aside for emergencies. I also want to maintain my health since I have realized that our wellbeing is the most important and should be prioritised."

Judith
received a $23 twelfth payment.
"I would like to organize on how to pay dowry so that my marriage can be customarily recognized. In our community, before dowry is fully settled, the marriage is deemed illegal. My husband lacks proper income to raise money to buy some cattle as dictated by our culture and tradition. I love my marriage so much and therefore would try to save so that in the next six month, the marriage can be legalized."

I started pursuing my course after receiving the initial transfers from GiveDirectly."

Linner
received a $23 twelfth payment.
"I expect my life to change significantly in the next six months because I shall be having my own cow. Currently, we do not have a cow as a family. In our community, owning a cow is a no mean achievement. Thus, I endeavor to buy one. Besides, I will be leasing more land to expand my farming practices. As a result, I will attain more crops for sale and consumption. Eventually, I will open a shop before the end of this year to attract more income. Consequently, I will be enjoying a better life that is marked with increased income."
