"Givedirectly is doing well by helping me with money so that I can improve my living conditions."

"I have been surviving on farming activities as a farmer and my income is very little to build myself a house. In the coming years, I want to keep getting money from GiveDirectly so I can build my house."

"GiveDirectly give me money without taking anything from me, I believe it's a good thing and I haven't seen it happen since I was born."

"GiveDirectly help me with money to change my life without asking for anything from me, I think it's really a good thing."

"I'm looking forward to finishing the house that my son started. Furthermore, I hope to open a grocery store where I can sell fruits such as papaws, avocados, pineapples, and watermelons, and with the proceeds, I hope to provide a better life for my youngest children than my siblings and I have had."

"I spend my recent transfer on paiding the carpenter to roof my house."

"Give-directly do well by giving me transfer fund to enable me build my house.Give directly could do better by giving all of the other villages money."

"While my husband works as a tuktuk driver in Mombasa, I have been working on our three-acre farm to produce food for our family. He earns $10 per day and comes to see us once a month. We barely have enough money to allocate to development projects between us, so when we received the funds from GiveDirectly, we stocked up on food for the house and expanded our business by adding a stall from which we are now selling thrift clothing to those in the surrounding area. I then concentrated on paying my children's tuition. I have three in school and two who have yet to start. The three attend Ndarako School and pay tuition of $10, $7, and $6.5 for their grades.Learning ages 5, 3, and 2. We would not have met our obligations as caregivers if GiveDirectly had not stepped in. I will be eternally grateful to GiveDirectly for their contribution to the continued existence of our family unit as we know it."

"I had lived in a three-bedroom house with the kids for seven years, and as they grew, expanding the house became necessary. When there are no other options, GiveDIrectly fills the void. They truly are what has kept this family afloat."

"I currently only sell my food inside Bodoi School, and my dream is to grow my business into a proper hotel here in Bodoi. With the extra money, I'm looking forward to possibly getting 5 more goats and providing my children with the future they deserve."
