"I was so happy coz it was my first time"

"I have six children schooling at Mrimani primary. The are supposed to pay $20 each every term. They have a fee balance of $180 which includes $60 arrears for last year. They have been out of school for the whole of February. This has affected their performance. I do charcoal burning which gives me $120 per month which caters to food only. The lack of money to pay school fees for my children is the challenge I am facing."

"We have something to eat and my project of house building is running"

"I was at home, it was happy time and my first thought was to eradicate poverty"

"I found the GD processes quiet reliable and effective."

"We found the GD measures and criterias conducive and easy to comprehend without any challenges."

"We are peasant farmers and we rely on our farm harvests for our sustainability year in year out. Our dream has always been to have an alternative source of income, thus, any business so that if we don't harvest as expected we are able to still survive off our business. This is what we hope to accomplish in the coming year(s)."

"All my second transfer was spent on the processing of planks. I bought 5 gallons of gas for the sawing machine, paid for workmanship and bought assorted food items to feed the workers. I have never owned a house in my entire life. GiveDirectly has come to make me a house owner and I am grateful."

"I hope to see myself living in my own house by next year or above. This will give me face-lift amongst my friends and also make me happy. It is every person dream to own a property and I am about to experience that."

"GiveDirectly does well by sending me money to improve my life. They give me the choice to decide for myself and that is a good thing. They have done nothing wrong."
