What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer to buy a cow worth 20,000 KES and two sheep because I wanted to invest my money in something that can give me more money in future to enable me take my children to school.I believe one day my cattle will multiply and hence I can sell its calves to get money to pay school fees for my children.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on constructing a bigger house to replace the old and tiny one that I had before. Other than that, I purchased food stuff for my family. Considering the fact that we never harvested well in the previous season, we suffered much from shortage of food.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I have experienced a very big difference in my life since I began receiving transfer from Give directly. Food which was initially a scarce commodity in my house is now in plenty. I thank Give Directly for this.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
Firstly, we plan to use part of the transfer to buy food stocks for our family. Secondly, we intend to use another part of the transfer to build a bigger house because this one is small. Lastly, we plan to use the remaining amount to buy a cow that would provide us with milk, and four sheep as an investment for our family.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement we are very proud of is, having bought a goat and a sheep as an investment for our family.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship we have faced is, inadequate income to build a bigger house, because this one is very small.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the afternoons, when I am having a nap, after lunch.
