"My dream is to add more goats and practise poultry farming. I also want to be able to take good care of my kids by providing all the basic needs and see them continue with their studies uninterrupted."

"GiveDirectly was transparent in all its process. I would wish for it to continue helping the less privileged in our communities."

"The high cost of living in the country has made life so intolerable to us all. I am employed as a matatu driver, but the daily income is not enough to cater for my family basic needs though I try my best to see that they don't lack. I had a small house where I lived with my family. But when I received my second transfer, I decided to build a bigger one which would accommodate my growing family and so I used up all the transfer to have that job done. My family is happy that we have some good privacy and we don't have to worry about a leaking roof when it heavily rains."

"I am a casual laborer doing all sorts of odd jobs. I am not yet married. The house that I had was in a very bad state and thus when I received my second transfer, I decided to build myself a good house, so that when the time comes for me to marry I could have a home to stay in with my family. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for the funds since I now have a decent shelter."

"Life has a fair share of challenges and the main one that I face is financial instability. The absence of job is to blame for this. With my second transfer I went to the market and bought 1 cow worth Ksh 25,000. Intend to start a dairy farm since this farming enterprise will enable me to earn the money I need to support my family. My wife is currently in college and she had fees arrears of Ksh 20,000 which I was able to complete. With the left over money, I bought food stuff and other necessities we needed in the house."

"GiveDirectly came as a saviour to our village and I would love the other villages and communities to experience the same love that we received from you by giving unconditional transfers. The enrollment process was all good and fair to all."

"I am a casual labourer in a certain agricultural company and I am also a mother of two beautiful kids. I have been staying at my mums house, but I have always wanted to have my own home. When I received my second transfer, I knew that the first thing I would do was to build myself a good house to stay with my kids. I bought everything that was needed for that work. This costed me Ksh 35,000 and I am thankful for it. My younger sister had been sent home for school fees arrears so I gave her Ksh 10,000 to have it cleared so she could go back to continue with her studies."

"I love the great impact that GiveDirectly has had on me, my family and the whole village. I would recommend you to continue with the same spirit in the other villages. Giving unconditional transfers to the less fortunate."

"I would love to own a very big vegetable store where the people from my neighbourhood can be buying from to go and sell in their shops. This would save them time and will be convenient to all. I am saving towards this dream to see it being accomplished."

"I am a small scale farmer, I get to sell the produce from my farm and earn a few coins to earn a living which I use to support my family of five kids. With my second transfer which I received from GiveDirectly I used Ksh 30,000 to build myself a house, since the one I had was not in good condition. I am happy that my family and I have a place to call home now. I have always wanted to do livestock farming, so I bought a cow worth Ksh 20,000. With the remaining Ksh 3,000 I bought food for my family and we get to have a meal every day on our table."
