"This money will enable me to seek proper medication for the numerous health conditions that I have been suffering from. I have been experiencing excruciating stomach pains more so during my monthly cycle that bars me from doing any heavy duty jobs. Just recently,a piece of wood got stuck in my right eye while splitting firewood and from medical examinations conducted, I need to undergo a minor surgery for it to be removed. The pain that I undergo on a daily basis is unbearable more so when I face direct sunlight and this forces me to stay in doors most of the time. I have wished to get proper treatment for both conditions but this has been impossible due to lack of finances to meet the medical expenses. With this money, I see my pain being relieved because I will use the money to go for treatment."

"I was so excited the moment I started receiving my money. At first, I could not imagine that I would receive such a huge amount of money for free but I am now glad that I am receiving them and I am very grateful to God for making such a miracle to happen in my life."

"My goal now that I have started receiving the money is to expand my business. By doing so, I will be maximizing the level of my income. This will help me save some money after settling my family needs. I will use these savings to buy a plot where I will build some rental houses. I will be living in one of the rooms so that I can save the money I would otherwise use in paying my house rent. Owning some rental houses has always been my dream and I believe that I will soon actualize this because of the aid I am now receiving from GiveDirectly."

"I would have never managed to managed to plant the two acres of sugarcane like I already did because it is so expensive and I do not think I could afford that amount. Planting one acre of land alone could cost around thirty thousand shillings which is quite an amount."

"My life is different in that I have acquired household items such as seats and utensils that I did not have in the past. I am happy since I no longer borrow seats from my neighbor whenever I have visitors. I have also acquired a piece of land using my transfers. I was living in a small piece of land and it was not enough to do farming and at times I was forced to lease land from other people. This was expensive and it is my joy since I no longer lease the land and I can now save the money that I could have used in leasing the land and use to meet other family basic needs. I also have a spacious house that accommodate all my family members comfortably."

"I spent part of my most recent transfer to pay for my house rent since I did not have any money to use and the landlord was threatening to close my house. My son had been sent back home since I had not paid his school fees. This prompted me to use the remaining amount after adding it to what I had and used them collectively to pay for his school fees so that he would resume his classes and catch up with other students."

"I am sure that once I am done with the construction process I will come up with another idea of what I want to achieve but for now my main focus remains to be the construction of the house. This is what i want to concentrate on and make sure that I do it to the best of my ability."

"I will generate more profits from my business from time to time based on the extent in which the business will be expanding.The more the business expands the more cash I will be generating from it. I believe that I will not lack money to keep my family afloat like I have lacked in the past."

"I will buy a water pump and expand the portion of the farm where I will be planting the vegetables and the main reason for doing this is to enable me get more harvest than what I have been getting so far. I want to turn into a large scale farmer and be the main supplier in this locality."

"In the next six months, I expect to have bought and owned a piece of land. I shall thereafter, prioritize building my home in that piece of land. As a result, I shall have more free space for my sons to build their houses. Moreover, I shall always feel at peace and happy to have my own home, thus I shall comfortably do poultry farming in my own compound."
