"I was staying in a very squeezed house with my growing family and we could not comfortably fit in,So, when I received my third transfer,I bought building materials that I used to construct a more spacious house. I can now fit in so well. This is the biggest and best thing I have done with the money."

"I have always longed for a television so when I received my third transfer,I bought one. My children can now get entertained like the others. I also bought building materials that I used to expand my house that was so squeezed. The remaining I spent on bedding and school fees for my son who had just joined secondary school.These transfers have changed my life for the better."

"I was sleeping on the bed without a mattress, so when I received my third transfer,I bought bedding. I now sleep more comfortable. I have moved a step forward in life as I also bought furniture which I never imagined I could have, I was tired of sitting on the rough eathern floor. Thank you GiveDirectly. Poverty is a bad thing to be sincere."

"I did not have any stable source of income, so, when I received my third transfer, I bought a motorcycle that I currently use for taxi business. With this I am able to get my daily income and basic needs,my family can no longer sleep hungry. The remaining I spent on food for my family consumption."

"The biggest difference in my life is that I have pride that am going to sleep in a iron roofed house soon."

"The moment I recieved my first transfer I became very happy. "

"If I had never recieved the transfer, my life would still be at a very poor state. I am very grateful to Givedirectly for having given me money to also change my life stlye financially, socially and economically."

"If I had never recieved the transfer, I think my children and I would be malnourished because at the time there was out break of famine. Now that I recieved the transfer, my family and I are health and living in harmony "

"Had I not received the cash transfer, poverty would have killed me. But now I see a very big change in my life because I can afford good clothes and very soon I am becoming rich when my grinding mill starts operating. "

"I spent 20,000 KES of my third transfer on paying fee for my husband who is pursuing a Diploma Course in Early Childhood Education Development at Bondo Teacher's Training College. I had earlier paid for him 10,000 KES from my second transfer and 3,000 KES from my first transfer since by then he had been at home for 3 months due to fee non-payment, until GD transfers bailed us out. I then invested 5,000 KES on a small scale tomatoes, sugar, salt, vegetable, fruits and sardines business. With the business profits, I have joined a Women Group where I have been saving 550 KES per month, with a vision of one day borrowing and initiating a Poultry Project since I already have the materials bought from the balance after paying my spouse's Training fee and starting a business."
