"The moment I received my money, I became very happy and I thanked God for Give Directly that has dedicated to give unconditional cash transfer to help the poor in my community."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have bought a goat. I will use my next transfer to achieve this. Because of this, I will have started saving some money on a daily basis which I will use to pay school fees for my children. The goat and my children's education will be a permanent mark in my heart of GiveDirectlys support."

"In the next six months, I will have built a maize store in my compound. I will do this from the money I will be saving from my farm produce and also from the next transfers. This is mainly milk and chicken eggs and meat."

"I woke up in the morning to check my phone for any calls or messages that might have come at night, like I did every morning. To my surprise I saw the Mpesa message and the message from Give Directly. I was very happy as I had no money even for food on that day. I also felt very grateful and thankful to Give Directly. I withdrew the money immediately to buy food, and I also knew then that I would spend some of the money to begin a clothes business."

"The moment I received my first cash transfer, I felt had been a challenge, this cash transfer came in time. "

"The moment I received my first cash transfer, it was amazing, fun and a bove all, I felt I had achieved my goal of acquiring a new motor cycle. The motor cycle is now helping me in making daily income that helps on meeting family needs."

"Receiving my first cash transfer came with a lot of excitement because I had taken every long time without fitting doors and Windows to my house. The cash transfer I received relieved me off stress that I had been in for so long."

"What an excitement I had in receiving this cash transfer. Receiving it meant that it would enable me construct an iron roofed house and hence no more problems of looking for grass for thatching houses every year."

"I expect to have my house come to its full construction in the next six months. This will see me lead a more prosperous and happy family."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months because I am planning to buy furniture. My first priority will be to buy a cupboard. I have lost many utensils because I don't have proper storage facility so I end up breaking some of them, others get lost and a few that remain still get dirty because I normally keep them in the basin or a sack. I will have my plates safe when the dream of buying a cupboard actualizes hence saving on extra cost of replacing the broken ones most of the time."
