"I spent the whole of the third transfer plus some a mount from my father to build for my mother house. My mother has been staying in very bad condition house which was almost collapsing down, being that she is not able to a build a nice because she does not have a stable source of income and they are also two wives and my father too is not in a good position to build for them a nice house."

I also spent the transfer to buy cow bull, this will save from waiting for other people's cows to work on my which will take too long.

"The biggest hardship I faced in my life was famine, I did not have enough food because I have very little land to cultivate on."

"Ever since I started receiving money from GiveDirectly, I have been working very hard so as to provide for my family. I have been able to buy solar energy so that I can have electricity at my house. This before was hard to purchase since there is an amount that I have to pay every day so that I can keep the lights on in my house. Today, also I cannot sleep hungry since I have money to buy food for my family. I can afford to eat breakfast, lunch and supper. Before, we would not eat so regularly since I had to depend on the job I had which did not bring in money regularly. Where i come from we do not have shops around us and all we can eat is Ugali and kales, we do not mind such meals but all we value most is being able to get this meal so as to feed our families. I would at times be forced to borrow from friends so as to feed my family but now I am glad since that is not the case and I can depend on myself. I stopped working a long time ago, by then I had already educated my children but unfortunately, they have not been able to find employment, thus they still depend on me to take care of them."

"In the next six months, I would wish to use my transfers to buy a cow. I will use the cow as a remembrance of GD and use it as an investment for my family. I believe when it gives birth, I will be able to sell the milk to raise an income to help me sustain my family needs. I can as well sell its offsprings or the cow to raise money for solving other family financial matters."

"I have been able to meet my ambition of owning a farmland for sugarcane farming. I would have not realized this without the transfer from GiveDirectly. I would be still waking very early in the morning to search for tedious casual labor from another people's farms that eventually would not be if any meaningful rewards."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that, I will have paid dowry hence reduce the burden since all in all I have finish this plan at one point."
