"The greatest challenge that I face is lack of enough money to avail enough food and daily meals for my family. However much my husband tries to avail food for us, it's not enough as he only sells milk from the market on Thursday and he makes only $1.4 which can barely buy even a kilogram of Sugar. This is so hard for us and it makes our lives very hard. Also my children last week were sent out of school because they did not have school uniform. I felt very bad seeing my two children sit at home for something as small as not having school Uniforms. We struggled and my husband did some casual labour work and we got partly the money for the uniform."

"Since I began buying goats with part of the transfers, I have had six goats. Previously, I had four but courtesy of the transfer, I have bought two more. My primary goal, therefore, is to expand my flock because, in addition to paying my children's school fees. I aim to do so that when the program comes to a close, I will be able to sell some to raise money. That will help me pay school fees for my children and meet my family's nutritional needs."

"Since I do not have any formal job, I always strive to look for a casual job to support my family. However, my wages are always insufficient to help me pay school fees for my son, who is in form four now. Even though my wife does charcoal making, her income is also low to meet the rising needs of the family. Therefore, with the assurance of the monthly transfers, I developed an of focusing on paying school fees for my children. It will go a long way in helping them to concentrate on their studies."

"For the past three years, we have constantly been experiencing famine that ravages our county as a result of prolonged drought. Such a phenomenon has always deprived us of an opportunity to cultivate our farms because of the possible loss of our crops to drought. Therefore, as I continue to receive my transfer, my primary goal is to spend them on paying my Said's school fees. I also long to spend part of it to acquire food owing to the current food shortage in the country."

"Since childhood, I have been passionate about doing a course in medicine. However, when things got tough for my parents, I felt like giving up, especially when I witnessed my brother dropping out of school at form three. Fortunately, I gained hope when I first received my transfer from GiveDirectly's program. I now long to study nursing when I secure a chance at the university. Therefore, with the assurance of the monthly transfer, I shall use my monthly transfers to pay off my school fees. As a result, I am cocksure of completing my O'level of study and joining the university."

"My parents do not have a reliable source of income except for running a small unsustainable business. Consequently, they struggle to raise our school fees. From the time I got enrolled in the program, I developed a goal of using my monthly transfers to pay my fees. I am optimistic to complete my secondary education end of this year. It will enable me to get an opportunity to join college and pursue a course in education. I aspire to become a teacher to contribute back to our society."

"I appreciate GiveDirectly for sending me cash transfers without any conditions. The money helped my family by buying food and covering my kids' tuition, which lessened the challenges they were going through. In addition, the money paid for my hospital bills when I got sick. I'm not sure what would have happened to my health if GiveDirectly hadn't existed. I don't see anything that the organization could do better,"

"My household has been surviving on a meager income. That has been insufficient to sustain my family's needs. It had subjected us to difficulty in raising my children's school fees. However, I desire to see my son advance in his study. Therefore, at the start of the year, I developed a goal to divert my monthly income toward paying school fees for my school-going son. As a result of this, I shall see him advancing in his studies."

"I began building a new house last year since the current one is old and relatively small. Unfortunately, I lost my job last year, bringing to a halt my building project since I did not have constant cash flow. Therefore, as I continue to receive my transfer, I have a goal of completing to build it before this year ends. I hope that once I achieve that goal, my family will have a decent house. The current one is smaller, old, and leaky during rainy seasons."

"It has been quite difficult for me to pay for my two school-going children's fees since I am a widow. As a result, when the year began, I set a goal of concentrating on paying school fees for my two sons. I intend to keep focusing on that main objective until my sons achieve their academic pursuits. After that, I will consider raising livestock; goats and cows. I equally value livestock because they are of great benefits even to our surrounding community."
