I spent my third transfer on paying school fee for my son who is in Makerere university. The son who admired a lot becoming an engineer faced so many challenges on raising his school fees. He missed most of his classes searching for casual jobs to enable him raise the required amount of fee. Other than that, I constructed a house in a new location out of my father's homestead. Luo traditions demanded me to do so since my sons who had already married needed to have their houses in my homestead, not my father's.

My life has greatly changed. Were it not for the transfers, my son who is soon graduating would not have managed to complete his studies. Similarly, I wouldn't have managed to establish my own homestead.

In my opinion, I feel that Give Directly chose a better method of sending recipients transfers directly instead of involving third parties. I also appreciate the fact that whatever Give Directly is offering to the recipients is much higher than what the government can offer. On the other hand, I would suggest that the transfers be made continuous to enable us the recipients build a stronger foundation that will sustain us in future.

I spent my second transfer to buy building materials that i will use to build my own house in my own compound. I used part of the transfer to pay school fee for my son in college. I also used part of the to build my orphaned nephew a house

The biggest difference in my life is that my nephew has a roof over his head. My son in college has also cleared his school fee arrears. Without GD i could have never done these things.

l spent the transfer to buy 2 mattress at 7000 KES, l also add some cash to remaining balance to buy bed at 3500 KES.

l am planning to build a spacious comfortable house that can accommodate me with my family.
