"The moment I recieved my money, I felt very good and happy that I was among the chosen one to benefit. "

"I spent a portion of my third transfer on an ox which was to be added to the one that we already purchased using the previous transfers and used in ploughing our farms. Besides that, we renovated our house which was temporarily constructed due to shortage of funds. We therefore purchased steel windows and doors to replace the wooden ones that we had before. We also plastered the whole house which was previously made of cow dung and prone to damages by rain waters."

"I spent my third transfer to lease some land that I have since grown rice. With these rice I believe my children will be able to go to school with the sales I will get from it. Most part of the money I spent on paying school for my daughter who had just joined secondary school. Were it not for the transfers, my daughter could have joined a local day school. I am glad with this money she managed to join a boarding school. The remaining I spent on food for my family consumes."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, since I have aquired my plot of land, I now have a peace of mind than before."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, my land was saved from being taken to marry my wife something I was going to take long before completing the payment. Another biggest dIfference in my daily life is that, I now also have my wife fully settled in. I will also be in position to build a decent house other than the one I have."

"I used my last transfer to buy a water pump that I use for horticulture farming. The lack of this equipment made work hard because I used to hire one from the neighbors and when they were using theirs this meant that I fetch water from the river which was hectic. I also bought a diary cow which is almost giving birth and am going to have milk for consumption."

"I spent my third transfer on paying school fees for my children in primary and secondary school respectively. I also bought two heifers that will help me with milk production purposes in the future when they reproduce. They also act like my assets."

"I spent most of my third transfer on bribing for a job for my son who had been jobless for so many years. I was glad that it was at this time when an opportunity featured that demanded him to part with 30000 KES, that I received my last transfer. It was such a coincidence and I really thank GiveDirectly for it. Secondly, I had shortages of so many household items that needed to be attended to. I therefore purchased some bedding, living room furniture and some kitchenware that I lacked most in the house."

"I used my last transfer to buy a sofa set and paid fees for my son who is in high school and the remaining I used it to lease a rice farm and part of the money I used to pay labor and fertilizer for the farm."

"I spent my third transfer on buying building materials that I used to build a new house. My previous house was in a very bad state and almost collapsing, so I decided to build a new one. I also paid school for my daughter in secondary school. I am happy she is in school now."
