I am in the process of building a very nice spacious iron-roofed kitchen to serve as a granary for storing my grains and a cooking place too. Having this kitchen is an assuarity of not running at a loss to insect infestation. The kitchen will be spacious that can accommodate many bags of maize comfortably. I also have an ox that shall help me in cultivating my farm. My plan is also to get an income out of it by hiring to neighbors. All these have brought a difference in my thanks to GiveDirectly.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly issuing money through the phone of every beneficiary was more safe because it minimized loss of the beneficiaries money either through fraud. I do not see any alarming issue I should address on GiveDirectl's work.

My husband had gone to the market to purchase another ox and add onto the one we bought with the first transfer .The pair shall be very significant to scale - up our farming practices from previously tilling our self . I bought three goats . With the remaining I intend to complete the constructing my kitchen.

I have been using hoes to cultivate my farm and at times hire oxen to do the work. This mostly made me finish cultivation very late. I ended up getting little yields all through the season or the harvest would be destroyed since I could not afford better farm inputs. It was devastating considering the efforts which I could put on my farm. The hope that I have of sorting the issues is the biggest difference in my life. I have already bought an ox. I intend to buy another pair and use them to cultivate my farm. I believe this will be the beginning of an increase in my harvest because a pair shall enable me to work on a bigger area in my farm . At the same time, I am anticipating to complete the construction of my house which I had started constructing earlier with my saving but unfortunately, inadequate finances made us withdraw from the project for a while.

I got a confirmatory message early in the morning that GiveDirectly had sent money . I jumped out of joy due to an overwhelming feeling of joy that I had . I immediately informed my husband who express his joy through a smile.

I spent 17,000 KES of my first transfer to by an ox purposely for cultivation . I bought building materials like iron sheets and building materials to complete the construction of my house . I bought food and paid school fees for my two children who are in primary school with the remaining amount .
