This money means a lot to me. It could not have come at a better time than this when I am trying to set a footing and reconstruct my life once again. I have an incomplete house that I was not able to finish on the works because of lack of finances. I have been living in the state it is but it is not conducive at all.After sorting out the issue of food , I intend to use part of the transfers to complete the remaining works, it will cost me approximately $50. I also want to go back to livestock farming and so I will use the rest of the money to buy goats for keeping.This way I will be able to create wealth and possible revert back to my initial position I was albeit gradually. Give Directly is an enabler to dreams, it is the best thing to ever happen to my life.

Nothing beats the peace and tranquility that is in this place unlike in Mochongoi. Even though I have not recovered from the lose of my livestock to bandits, I have solace in knowing that I am no longer disturbed by the sound of a gun and the unending conflicts. I am lucky to be alive and enjoying the peace.

I used to have livestock but when the drought persisted I took my livestock to Arabal in Mochongoi in search for water and pasture little did I know that was going to be the genesis of my problems. It did not take long before the bandits from pokot strike and took away all my livestock comprising of 42 cows and 190 goats leaving me with nothing but abject poverty. The events shook me to the core, it took me along time to come to terms with it. It is then that I came to the village to reconstruct my life but it has never been easy. We are grappling with a serious challenge of food insecurity, putting food on the table is an uphill task. This has been further worsened by the ever increasing cost of living. So worse is the situation that I have no idea where the next meal will come from, mark you I fend for an elderly mother who is also sickly.Life is hard and unbearable.
