Since I have already bought land, I would now like to build a house to shelter my family. I also would love to go back to college and study catering. I love cooking and trying out new recipes a lot.

GiveDirectly's work and the support we received were so helpful in numerous ways that most families are currently living a better life. Many constructed new houses and others cleared their children's school fees after receiving the money. They did everything well, and I wish the program would be back to the village after completing the other they are yet to finish. I saw nothing wrong with the entire process and am thankful I was part of the beneficiaries.

I was very excited when I received the second transfer, as it brought hope of accomplishing a lot that my household had planned. I have two children and I have a small shop where I sell vegetables and fruits. On a good day I can make profits of KES 300 which I use to buy daily food and provide for other basic needs since I am a single parent. With the second transfer, I bought a parcel of land at KES 40000, where I would later on build a house. I later spent the remaining amount on foodstuff for my family and also bought new pairs of clothes for my two children. I am grateful for the support that has transformed my household greatly.

It was around 6:40 Pm I was just at home doing my daily chores when I heard a message notification from my phone. Since I was busy I did not bother to check it out. When I was done I decided to check out who could have texted me that time little did I know it was from GiveDirectly. I got a message confirming that I have received KES 55,000 from GiveDirectly. I felt so happy because that was the highest amount of money I have ever received. I knew I would be able to buy a piece of land and do horticulture farming because that was my dream. I am so happy because GiveDirectly has enabled me to fulfill that dream.

I used all the transfers on purchasing a piece of land. The land was KES 80,000. I borrowed KES 25,000 from a friend to top up the balance. I live with my parents and I had always wished to buy a piece of land and relocate and live separately with my children. This would enable me to do farming and get food for my children easily. I have a small grocery business and sometimes I do casual jobs in the village. These two activities earn me a small income and it was not enough to save so that I can buy land. Due to basic needs and school fees for my children I was not in a position to save some money. I am a single parent and all the responsibilities I had to fulfill. Currently, I have a piece of land and this has given me hope. GiveDirectly has enabled me to fulfill my dream. I have devoted much of my time to farming. I wish to venture into horticulture farming, this will to get enough food for my family and even sell the surplus to earn an extra income. I am so grateful for the support because GiveDirectly has changed my living standard.

I spent all the transfer on purchasing a piece of land. This had been my dream and when I was enrolled in the program I knew I would be able to fulfill this. I am a single mother and I live with my parents. I have always wished to own land so that I can relocate and live with my children. This was not possible since I did not have money to buy land. I depend on casual jobs and small businesses of grocery. The income from this was for basic needs and school fees for my children. I did not have another source of income. I am so grateful because Currently I won land and I am planning on building a house and doing horticulture farming. GiveDireectly has fulfilled my dream and this had given me hope to see life from a positive angle which was not the case before.
