We have a family boat providing transport services in Lake Baringo. This is our main source of family income, it is unfortunate that for the last one year the business has been performing poorly. I am planning to shift to commercial fishing. When I receive my transfers from GiveDirectly, I will use $150 to buy quality fishing nets and tap more income from fishing. I am that with these transfers from GiveDirectly, I see my dream of livestock farming coming true. I plan to set aside $150 to purchase ten goats. Additionally, I am planning to spend $230 of my transfers to pay school fees for my grandson Luis Kemboi who is studying in Moi Kabartonjo secondary school.

Our life has been filled with endless challenges, and the lack of stable income and better job opportunities has only made things unbearable. However, I am grateful that I have not faced any health issues in the past six months. This has motivated me to work even harder in my pursuit of a job that can support my family

We heavily depended on our family business to earn a living and put food on the table for my family of eight. Recently the business has been performing poorly making our life unbearable. A year ago many people invested in water transport services and this never worked well for us. Our boat registered a low number of customers and this made life difficult for us. I am elderly and this limits my ability to work and provide an alternative source of family income. I am also struggling to pay school fees for my grandson Luis Kemboi who is schooling in Moi Kabartonjo secondary school.
