"I spent portion my third transfer to sponsor my first daughter graduation from high school. I use portion of it to pay the other four kids I have here registration fees and part of their first semester school fees and I use the balance to buy few bags of cements to build my new house."

"I hope to send my children to school because once they're educated I will be able to receive my money back with even interest since they will be taking care of me once I am old and unable to do hard."

"My most recent transfer was spent on paying my children's school fees and I also bought used motorbike."

"My most recent transfer was spent on buying of assorted building materials for my house construction project."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly is doing excellently well by providing this cash transfer that is helping us a lot. They could do better by covering the entire county, which is all the districts."

""What GiveDirectly is doing even my brother is not able to do for me. I wanr GiveDirectly to provide the same assistance to people in other villages as they are doing for us"."

"The money was spent on farm and school related activities, the farm is the mean source of income but it was not generating the rightful resources."

"I was home when I got the money, I was so excited and could not hold back the joy, I thought of my children school fees."

"The first thing I opted to do upon withdrawing the money was to settle a debt of $44. I borrowed this money from a neighbor two weeks before receiving the transfer to settle some school fees issues for my three children who had been sent out of school for fees. I was glad that GiveDirectly enabled me to pay on time since I was still waiting for customers to buy my charcoals to pay the debt. Thereafter, I bought a sack of maize for $62 so that I could have food security at home while concentrating on other things. After that, I opted to build a house using the remaining amount of money. I opted for this because I did not have a decent house. The house I had was very small, congested, and collapsing thus it was unsafe to dwell in."

"I want to see my family and i in our own space(house) where we would be without interference from anyone and with that we would have our peace of mind and be more respected."
