"After saving for the motorcycle, I would want to save again so that I can buy building materials to aid me in building a new house. I will also boost my savings with the little I earn from my motorcycle business so that I can finally get the house I have always dreamt of."

"It has always been my dream to start a poultry business. In the next six months, I would want to buy chicken which I would use to start the business. The profits from the business will help pay for my college fees and sustain our family financial needs since we depend on each other for survival."

"I live in a mud house in which it's floor is earthen. My wife and I are quite old. Having her to smear the floor everytime is quite hectic with this old age. We end up living in a dusty room as the floor is rarely smeared. This exposes me to discomfort and could even cause chest problems. Receiving this money means that I am able to buy some bags of cement and sand to plaster the floor. It will greatly improve my living conditions and make it easy to clean. I will live in a healthy and a nice environment as I will refurbish and furnish the house in addition to plastering.It also means that I am able to buy dairy cow. This will be a source of income as I sell milk to meet my daily needs."

"I current live in a two room house that is still under construction. I went in before completing its construction since I had no more money to use. I depend on my sons after a goat broke my hand sometimes back hence can not do casual jobs to earn. I engage in my small garden that I only get vegetable for my family consumption. It has been hard asking for more help from my sons since they also have families to attend to. Receiving this money means that I will be able to renovate and complete my house also will buy a cow to help in more income from milk sales."

"My ambition is to become a lawyer. Since I was young I have always dreamt of being a lawyer. I was inspired by my cousin who has been practicing law and I grew up looking up to him as my mentor. I will be able to help vulnerable people in our society by providing legal aid. There have been many challenges facing people in Mathare like land grabbing and illegal arrest from police officers which I will be able to assist and defend them as a way of giving back to the society."

"For a long time, I have had a desire of owning assets of my own that would help me generate income and handle any financial emergencies. Receiving this money would bring an end to my endless reliance on donations from my relatives to meet my emergency needs. I will buy a cow that will help me generate income by engaging in milk selling business and be able to have my own assets going forward. I am so delighted about this cash."

"My first priority is to invest in my business of selling second clothes. Normally I sell them on small quantity due to inadequate capital. That is why I will expand the business by buying new stocks including a full bale. That way I will have a variety of different clothes to sell to my different target market. Money from my business will help me improve my family's life financially. I want to pay for my child's school fees. She is about to start school next year but I have been worried on where to get her school fees. She will be able to get education and get a chance to progress in life. Thirdly I will use money given to me to help my family whenever they require money. My grandfather and my aunt support me from time to time. So I will help them with money for agriculture to buy seeds and pay for harvesting labour."

"After the death of my two sons, I have been taking care of their children being that one wife left and the other one died too. I have been struggling to make ends meet because I only depend on small-scale farming which hardly provide enough for food. Since my grandchildren had come of age and needed privacy, I decided to construct a house which will serve as a kitchen and spending place for my them. Since I was not in good financial status, I only constructed a grass thatched house which has served them well for two years now. It's unfortunate the roof started leaking three months ago and during the rainy seasons, my granchildren would come to sleep in my living room since the leaking of the roof was unbearable. When I recived this transfer, I thought of the well-being of my grandchildren. I bought iron sheets, timber and nails which I have since used to replace the grass thatched roof so that they can sleep in peace. I feel at peace for sacrificing my comfortability for them."

"When I received this transfer, I was very happy. I had only wished in my dreams and imaginations of how my life could change if I get 50000 KES. I never knew I could get it until Give Directly sent me th transfer. They have even given me more than I imagined.This was surely a dream come true for me."

"My life is different in that, I have own descent clothes, bedings, utensils and am going to benefit from an acre of land that is currently in my hands, I couldn't have got all these had I not received this transfer."
