"My life is different in that, I have own a plot of land that I intend to construct my home being a single mother. I am hopping to have increased yields because of the acre I hired with this transfer. Previously, I was not at peace with my two sons because my family members looked at them as competitors for the little land they had. I totally didn't have where to cultivate hence I worked in people's gardens to be given a small portion to cultivate."

"Currently, my life is different because I am filled with gratitude towards GiveDirectly for giving me money that I used to finally pay my son's tuition fees for his last year and semester in University level. He was now home with no hope of finishing his school. Initially, I used to pay his fees using the income I got from farming but this time, the production and prices were low and I had run out of options to get money to complete his fees."

"I was still asleep when I received a text notifying me that I had received the transfer. At that moment I was in shock and disbelief as it this got me unaware. I did not get excited Immediately as I was in shock. I went back to sleep and when I woke up, I again confirmed that indeed it was real. I then got very excited and joyfully walked towards a nearby agent to withdraw the money.I"

"I hope to get a bumper harvest from my farm in the next six months. With the good seeds and fertilizer that I am planning to use, I know this will be possible. I will then be able to sell some of the farm proceeds and raise enough money to comfortably pay for my children's school fees and save some for my house enlargement plan that I hope to achieve by the end of this year."

"I spent the KES 15000 of the transfers to pay my sisters school fees. I also used KES 5000 to pay for my child's school. Paid rent of KES 1500. I also spent KES 3000 to buy food items. The remaining KES 8000 went towards savings in my bank account. My sister had been out of school for a while due to school fees so I decided to spend most of the transfers to keep her in school."

"Once we have completed the moving plans, I will want to invest my transfers into a business to enable me have an extra source of income. I hope that with the profits I will be making,I will be able to give my children better lifestyles and better meals. My other goal is to be totally independent of my husband and make something out of my life as well."

"Last year I bought a half an acre piece of land in a neighboring village. However I do not own it yet due to pending arrears. I am planning to spend my first transfer to clear the balance and process transfer of the land's ownership to my name. Acquisition of this land was far out of sight due to lack of finances but thanks to GiveDirectly this is a dream come true."
