I intend to buy two goats as an investment next year. Since I generally go to the hospital once a month for a check-up, if I run out of money, I will sell the goats to generate funds for medication. I plan to save my transfer in bits to raise the $80 needed to achieve this goal.

GiveDirectly, in my opinion, does well by empowering everyone to live a healthy lifestyle through monthly financial support. In my case, the transfers allow me to obtain quality medication as well as suitable diets that improve my health.

Life has been such a struggle because of the high cost of living. Affording healthy meals has been a pipe dream because I have no source of income due to illness (I am physically handicapped). Using my most recent transfer, I purchased maize flour and other food products for $12 to keep myself and my three children from going hungry. I spent the rest of the transfer on medication. Eating balanced foods and accessing proper medication helped improve my health.

I plan to invest in farming (I will plant maize and sorghum) worth $50 for consumption in February. I will request financial support from my nephew to enable me to actualize this goal.

I like everything about GiveDirectly as it is through its transfers that I now live a decent life like a salaried person. I usually use the money to buy food and drugs for medication which do help improve my health. Besides, GiveDirectly made a good choice by giving people equal transfers hence making us co-exist peacefully.

I am suffering from high blood pressure and diabetes and usually go for a medical check-up every month using my transfers. Last month, I used $6 of my transfer for transport (to and from the hospital) and since I have to be on a healthy diet as was recommended by the doctor, I stocked maize and sorghum for food and also bought other foodstuffs. Having enough food enabled me to enjoy a balanced diet thereby improving my health.
