Currently, I have five children, all in secondary school, and paying their school fees is still a challenge. I am working hard every day to ensure that I keep them studying without being disturbed in their studies. I don't have any new goals, but I am stuck in the course of making my children realize their dreams in the education sector. I have been dependent on assets selling that which include livestock, farm produce, and also trees.

The approach by GiveDirectly, where every household was visited and given a chance to listen and understand the project's dynamics before enrolling in it. This was a work well done in my opinion since no authority in the government was used in relaying this information. The money was later channeled directly to the recipients. I have no complaint at all in the whole operation but I feel that all was and is still being carried out well by GiveDirectly within the village.

On receiving the second transfer, I had to ensure that the school, fees for the running term for my five children were fully paid. I deposited KES30000 to their school accounts that have kept them studying all through to the end of the term. I am glad that their grades have been improving with time since they have not been experiencing any disturbance like before. I also spent KES 10000 on foodstuff for my family of 11 and the remaining KES 13000 on clothing for every family member who needed a pair. I am happy that everyone in my family has been thankful for the support that was timely in settling all the financial obligations we had.

I was at my workplace busy with my daily activities, it was around 9 am when I heard my phone ringing, upon checking I saw a message showing that I had received money from GiveDirectly, I was so overwhelmed with joy that I stopped all that I was doing, then rushed home, upon reaching home I informed my wife of the good news, she was equally happy and excited, this was the happiest day in our lives and I am grateful for the support that brought so much joy and happiness in our lives.

The biggest difference in my life is that I was able to renovate my house easily and in a short period, I was unable to complete it before due to financial constraints, In addition, that, I cleared the school arrears of my two children, meaning that they would be able to study comfortably, I am grateful for the support that amazingly changed our lives positively.

When I was promised the transfer, I thought of putting down a ready plan so that I would be able to spend my money efficiently and effectively, therefore when I received my transfer I followed the script that I had for easy planning, therefore, I used KES 20,000 in renovating my house, I then used, KES 10,000 in paying school fees for my two children, lastly, I bought foodstuffs with the remaining part of the transfer, I am so happy that I was able to realise my goals in a very short period which I was unable to achieve due to financial constraints because I am a casual labourer.
