I spent the whole of the third transfer to buy two cow bulls for farming. I have been depending on people's cows to work on my farm and this has been delaying the whole farming process, but now l have my own cows l do not need to depend on people's cows.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
When i received the second transfer, I used 30000 KES from it to pay deposit for a plot of land on which I will construct my new house since I had no other land to move to. I then used 15000 KES to buy a cow, anticipating to get milk soon when it delivers. The balance was spent on foodstuffs since my stock of food had been depleted.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I feel so good and dignified to own my own piece of land. It is an honor that I never foresaw; thus I am really grateful to Give Directly for the support.
