My goal is to buy a piece of land where I will build my home and use it for farming. At home, we are seven siblings and our parents gave us a small piece which isn't enough to carry out farming. I had bought 12 sheep with my previous transfers and when they reproduced, I sold offsprings and bought two heifers. I would continue to keep this livestock so that I can sell some and a quiet piece of land. Again, I will be making saving through a welding business that I run at a nearby shopping center.

People have different needs and GiveDirectly did well when they gave us money which enable us to spend on those that we needed. Each one of us had that goal that came true after receiving the money and that was so good about this project. I never noticed anything that was not done well since the enrollment process was so fair.

I love farming and specifically livestock rearing. When I got my second transfer, I spent KES 52000 on buying 12 sheep for rearing. I opted to buy sheep since they mature faster and reproduce twice a year. We have a grazing field with plenty of pasture in a nearby county where we take our livestock to graze. Once they have increased in number, I will sell them and spend the money on buying a piece of land.

I work as a mason and I had gone to one of my neighbors house as I had been called for some work. The time was around 10 o'clock when I received an SMS notification on my phone and upon reading it's contents, I became so happy and immediately went back home to inform my spouse about the good news and start planning on how we would spend the cash.

I have acquired nine goats using my transfers and this has made my daily life different. These are an investment to me that will help me in educating my kids to the level they would wish to attain. As a mason, the money I usually get was not always enough to feed my family of three and still save some for investment purposes. I am so grateful to God and GiveDirectly for enabling me to start investing towards my children's education.

I purchased 9 goats worth KES 40500 using the transfer I recently received. This is my family's investment that we will depend on in future especially in educating my children. I have one child at the moment and it is my prayer that God will bless me with more. Their education will always be my priority so that they will have a bright future and starting an investment toward this had always been my priority. Also, I spent KES 10000 to purchase some decent clothes for my family and used the remaining KES 4000 on food.
