I plastered the walls and floor of my 2 roomed house at a total cost of 17800 KES and spent the rest of my third transfer on food. Before then, I had turned a village laughing stock since I appeared to be out of fashion-smearing the walls of my houses with cow dung when the rest of the villagers were living in cemented houses.

I spent most of the second transfer to plaster my house since this was the cheapest and easiest way to maintain it. I also spent the transfer to pay school fee for my child who is in academy primary school. The remaining balance l spent to improve my business since it was not doing well because of lack of enough capital.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that, my business has real improve and l am getting enough to prove for my family.

I added my saving to the first transfer and built a kitchen which have longed for in a long time.Now I no longer cook out side and my children have a spacious place to sleep in as I had sub-divided my kitchen into two.

I had gone out to sell some goods and on coming back home ,my husband told me other villagers had received their first transfer and if I could kindly confirm the same on my phone. Upon confirming that I had received the transfer ,I was very happy and that is when I was convinced that GiveDirectly truly fulfills promises to the poorest households in my community.
