My major goal was for me to build a house and also start goat rearing farming, so far I plan to concentrate on the goat rearing project fully, I don't have any other new goal at the moment, I am glad that I was able to plan well thus I m grateful for the support that improved my life.

The transfer was unconditional, everyone was allowed to use their money unrestrictedly, for that it met the needs of everyone, thus we are grateful that the organization for believing in us, we are grateful for the opportunity that we were given for us to transform our lives, The field officers are very kind, I do not find anything that GiveDirectly did not do well.

When I received my transfer, I used KES 30,000 in building a decent house for my family, this is because the house that I was living in before was small and old, I was unable to build a decent house before due to financial constraints, this is because I am a trained teacher but I have not been absorbed by the government thus what I earn is not enough to sustain all our needs, I then used KES 30,000 in starting a goat rearing project, I had saved the extra KES 7000 from my previous transfer, I am hopeful that with the goat rearing project I would be able to earn an extra income, I am happy that I was able to accomplish my goals in a short time.

The moment I received the money I felt so happy. I remember vividly that it was 9:30 am when I heard a message tone from my phone. When I checked it out I couldn't believe my eyes. There was a message confirming that I have received money from GiveDirectly. I felt so happy and immediately called my spouse to inform her. She was so happy too. I knew I would be able to build a better house. I had always wished to but I didn't had the money. I teach in a private school and the amount of money that I get is so small. I am so happy because GiveDirectly has changed our living standards.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have build a better and spacious house for my family. We used to live in a small house which could not host all my family members well. This was so demoralizing because there was no privacy. Whenever I had visitors there was no space to host them. I could host them outside the house. My relative too had nowhere to spend the night. I had always wished to build a house but I don't had the money to buy the building materials. I depend on casual jobs and and sometimes teach in a private school. The amount of money that I get is so small and was only for household basic needs. I had no extra money to save. Currently I have a decent and spacious house. I no longer stress up on where to host my relatives and friends. My children have a enough space. This has build my self esteem. I no longer shy off to welcome friends to my house. GiveDirectly has changed my living standard. All this could have taken quite some time to be done.

I spent the money I received from GiveDirectly on building a better and spacious house for my family. We used to live in a small house which could not host all my family members well. I purchased four goats. This is an investment because goats reproduce faster and if helps whenever there is an emergency. Finally I bought food and clothes for my children. I am so grateful for the support.
