"I hope to earn more money and be able to educate my children in school in order for them to take proper care of us when we are old and can no longer farm."

"My spouse had health issues that needed immediate operation but we couldn't afford the bills for such treatment. Last month, his condition began to get worse and he was taken to the hospital for proper medical attention after examination and laboratory results. Doctors said the operations should be done.I intend to use our last transfer to cover all the medical expenses needed for him to recover."

"I spent $250 on purchasing sofa set seats, beds and tables. I have always wanted to purchase this furniture but I did not have the money. I depend majorly on small-scale farming and the products that I get are so small that I was not able to get the surplus to sell. whenever I had visitors there were no decent seats and this was so demoralizing. I am so happy because I am no longer shy from welcoming visitors into my house like before. I purchase a sky blast for storing clean water for drinking. The remaining amount of money I spent on food, clothes and utensils. I am so grateful because I was able to meet all these items."

"Purchasing milk daily is so costly , I wish to save some amount from the sales of my farm produce to purchase a dairy cow. This will enable me to cut the daily cost of buying milk which is so costly for me."

"GiveDirectly does perfect work in that everything is planned well from the beginning of the training and the enrolments of the people in the community. Most of the people understood the program and spent the transfer well. I do not find anything that GiveDirectly did not do well."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did a very great job in my entire village and this is evident from the huge transformations among the households. The idea of giving out unconditional cash transfers stood out because one had to utilize the cash according to the desires of their heart. Therefore I do not see anything that requires changes."

"GiveDirectly, in my opinion, did a good job by conducting community training and informing us when we could anticipate the money. This has assisted us in making the right choice. We also had the flexibility to choose how to meet our needs because the transfer was unconditional. I think they shouldn't change anything about the whole process."

"I wish to self reliant in terms of food productivity. Without enough food no one can do much of the development since one has to eat well first.I have prepared the land well and I intend to use fertilizer to boost on the productivity of food crops such as maize and beans. In the past I have not been using fertilizers but going forward I intend to use it to maximize on the productivity and be food secure."

"I am so elated that the transfers assisted me a great deal to improve on my housing condition. I was able to change the condition of my house, I replaced the mud wall with sand and also cemented the floor. I used KES 50000 and it has given my house a facelift. I no longer have to worry about the difficult job of smearing with cow dung which is a lot of work that I am no longer able to do it well because of my old age. Iused the rest to buy food for household consumption."

"Food insecurity is something that we have been grappling with for a long time. This was occasioned by the vagaries of weather and the lethal maize necrosis disease that ravaged our crops. This season I want to do proper planning. I have already prepared the land and it is ready for planting once it starts raining. It worries me a lot when at times we have to stretch ourselves to buy food yet I can produce on my farm. This time going forward I have made a deliberate effort to be self sufficient in food productivity."
