Yes. I have a new goal of constructing a spacious house for my family. This is because the house that I was very small which forced my two grown-up children to seek refuge from our neighbors something that is worrying me a lot. I intend to construct another house for my kids.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well for coming up with the program in the village. Furthermore, the enrollment was conducted without discrimination and every household was given equal opportunity to voluntarily participate in the program. I don't see anything that it does not do well

I spent KES 30,000 to pay part of the cost of land which I had purchased with my transfer. This is because the land that we are currently owning is communal land where I lacked the right of ownership. My plan is to relocate to the new place that I bought with my transfer since the place where are currently living has conflict over ownership. I also spent KES 5000 to support the education of my 6 children who are still schooling.

At first I thought the registration was just a formality and a scam like the other registrations have been havingin our government. I offered to be registered because other people were being registered but I had no faith in the exercise. This was until when I heard people from a nearby village have received their transfers is when I gained some faith. At around 9am in one of the fine mornings when I was looking after my goats, i received the transfer message from GiveDirectly. I felt so happy and I am now a firm believer that GiveDirectly is a real deal. It's an organization that is truly committed to assisting the less disadvantaged people.

My biggest testimony is that, I now have an alternative plot to do my farming unlike before when I was used in repeating the same portion over and over again. This has restored my happiness because am sure once the rain season starts, I will be able to get more yields than before hence my family will be comfortable. I wish ro register my sincere gratitude to the organization-GiveDirecly for seeing me through my desire as a farmer.

Being a peasant farmer, I have been farming at the same piece of shamba year in year out. As at now the shamba is no longer productive and my family of 9 solely depends on it. My desire was to acquire another piece of land so as to continue with my farming as my only source of feeding my children. On receiving the transfer, I used KES 40,000.00 and purchased 1 acre of land, I also paid school fees for my children. I took KES 5000.00 and paid for my secondary school child and KES 2600.00 for the primary children. I also opted to increase the number of my goats by adding 1 goat which cost KES 2800.00.
