Since I received transfers from Give Directly I haven't been the same again. I built a food store which I now use to store maize and beans. Before the harvest would get spoiled due to poor storage. Now I never incur such lose again as I got a good structure in place.

According to me, Give Directly did an amazing work by visiting us at our homes and enrolling us to the program.

I received my second transfers when I had no store to keep my harvest. I spent part of the money which I had received on buying building materials. The remaining portion I spend on buying a heifer.

Since I received my transfer from GD, my daily life has totally changed since I no longer go around looking for different types of casual work to do as I have some maize which I believe will last me until next harvest. Unlike before, instead of doing any available casual work, I am occupied looking for water and pasture for my cow.

It was in the morning while I was taking breakfast with my family when I received a message. At first, I thought it was a promotional message from Safaricom but after reading its content, I was filled with happiness. I whispered a word of prayer thanking God for His blessing through GD.

I have been buying milk on a daily basis since the time I got married. When I received my first transfers, I spared some amount and used them in buying a dairy cow so that it will relieve me the burden of buying milk. I have been living in a grass thatched house with a leaking roof. It was so hard for my family to sleep during rainy season as all our bedding would get wet. I used part of the remaining amount to buy building materials like iron sheets, nails and in paying a mason. Finally, I spent the remaining amount on buying three sacks of maize which I believe that it will last us for some time and it is also quite cheap. I opted on this because buying maize flour had been my daily routine and it is expensive especially for someone like me who has no stable source of income.
