Upon completion of the original goal I had at the time of enrollment, I developed a new goal of supporting my children's education. I have begun saving part of my transfers and other income with an intention to use them to pay off my children's school fees. Through this, my two children in secondary school will be able to succeed in their academic pursuit. Paying their fees on time will help them to have ample time in school and this could register an improvement in their performance. I am hopeful that when they succeed, they will be of help to their younger siblings in primary school.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly does so well in supporting vulnerable communities. It has been issuing direct cash to such communities, an act of kindness that has positively impacted every household. By enrolling households in the program, there has been a lot of peace, understanding and unity among household members, an experience that was least witnessed in the past. Personally, I have not witnessed what GiveDirectly does not do well.

I spent KES 34,000 from my most recent transfer to pay off all the school fee arears for my two children in secondary school. I am glad since then, they have been able to learn so well with minimal interruptions. Consequently, I have not witnessed any case of my children being sent home due to school fee this term as it was the norm in the previous years. I, as well spent KES 10,000 to buy 3 goats which unfortunately died. I am still hopeful that I shall begin to raise new flock of goats.

I was extremely happy for receiving my transfer and I had conceal my days plan to prepare to travel to the Mpesa shop to withdraw my transfer. My children had been sent home due to fee arrears and I was confused on what to do. I remember it was around 7 O'clock when I was in my house preparing breakfast for my 2 children when I heard loud message notifications on my phone. I called my elder son who confirmed that it was the transfer from GiveDirectly, we both celebrated and thank the organization for fulfilling its promises.

The biggest difference in daily life is that I am now leading a stress-free life after completing the payment of team one fees for my children. They had been staying at home for almost one week due to the huge fee balance something that kept me worried about the future of my children. I thank GiveDirectly for the transfer that came at the right time when we need them most. I am currently confident that they will have a bright future.

With 2 children in school, one in college taking teaching course and the other in the secondary level. I have been struggling to educate them especially in paying their fees they were often send home due to fee arrears. I am a charcoal vendor, a job that earns me utmost KES 3000 per month. I invested KES 44000 of my transfer on their education by giving the KES 22000 each to clear the fees. I am confident that my children will learn without being sent home due to fee issues. I also boost my goats rearing by purchasing two more goats at KES 2500 each this is because it was not stable because I had sold most of them children education. I bought enough food stock for the family with the remaining amount of the transfer.
