"The additional goals for my life that I didn't have before receiving the transfer is to buy a piece of land back at home. This is because I do not want my children to continue living in Mathare because of the bad company. I have lived in Mathare since birth and I would not wish my children to experience what I passed through when I was young and that is why relocating from Mathare is now my top priority."

"I spent my most recent transfer to buy some chicken. I settled on this because it has always been my prayer to start a poultry keeping project. I decided on poultry keeping since one can run it alongside other jobs as it does not require constant attention. This will act as my alternative source of income. I received this money when I did not have any money to use in settling my bills. Due to this, I spent the remaining amount to pay my house rent since I did not want my landlord to lock my house."

"At the moment, the new goal for my life that I didn't have before receiving the transfer is to buy a piece of land back home. This is because the land there is still cheaper compared to buying it in town. I settled on land because I have so many brothers and the little piece of land my parents own will not be enough for all of us to build our houses there."

"The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving payments from GiveDirectly is that I am now optimistic that I am soon going to revive my cosmetic shop unlike before when I had no means. GiveDirectly came at a time I had lost all hopes of reviving my cosmetic business and I am now grateful to God since my hope has been rekindled once more."

"I spent part of my most recent transfer to pay my house rent since I did not have money to use in paying it. I decided to use them to pay my house rent since my parents used to pay for me most of the months and I wanted to give them a helping hand. I always depend on what I get at the end of the day to buy food and I usually sleep hungry when I do not find any work to do. Because of this, I used the remaining amount to buy some food to last me for some time."

"The moment I received this transfer I was very happy and filled so much joy. I knew I was going to improve my business."

"My husband had an accident and therefore could not do his day to day work to provide for the family. I was left with the burden of providing for the family alone from the little cash I got from casual work. I used to work extra hard to provide for my family before I received the transfer but now it is easy to provide for them as I got the transfer from GiveDirectly. I took my husband to the hospital and he is now feeling better. My husband had an accident and could not work to provide for the family."

"I expect that in the next six months, I will have plastered my house and relieved myself of the stress of constant renovations that usually come after every rainy season."

"It was seven o'clock in the morning when I received my transfer. I was so happy since I knew that I will use the money to start a new business which I have been thinking of but have never got the capital."

"My life has really changed. Now that I can afford to pay for my brother's school fees and even buy a TV for my house, these were but just a dream initially before I started receiving the transfers. I can pay my rent in time and even afford three meals in a day to God be the glory."
