In the coming year and beyond, I hope to continue to support my kid's educational needs since he is still in form 2. My dream is to ensure that he acquired a quality education that would assure him of a better future. Through education, my kid would be able to get his desired job to support himself as well as our household.

In my opinion, Givedirectly did well in sending unconditional cash transfers to the less fortunate households in our community. Additionally, we were enrolled well without any discrimination on religious or political affiliation. I do not have anything that I feel they could do better since every thing went well.

First, the transfers come at the appropriate time when our secondborn had just completed primary school and was about to join secondary. I did not have any savings to further my child's studies. I spent the larger part of the recent transfer supporting his education. I spent $500 on shopping and clearing the payment of the tern one fee. Currently, I am happy that my child is learning without any problems something that has intensified our peace of mind as parents. Furthermore, I used the remaining amount to purchase enough food for the family. This is because my job of charcoal burning could not earn me enough income to feed the family as well as save for the children's education.

I was in my house relaxing after coming back from fetching water at the nearby pan. I was with my husband and co-wife relaxing while chatting with each other. I heard the news about the transfer from our neighbours who were rejoicing. My helper came to my house to confirm my account balance and if I had received the transfer like others. I was overwhelmed with joy when it landed to my ears that I had received the transfer. We jointly celebrated with my family members for receiving our transfer.

Having a reliable source of income after starting livestock rearing is the biggest difference in my daily life. Currently, I am self-reliant and do not depend on my spouse for every need like before. In addition, I am optimistic that my kid will be able to continue with her secondary education without any problem after clearing the entire term one fees.

For more than 3 years, I have been spending my nights on the floor with sacks as bedding. This has been a miserable life since I was always feeling pains on my ribs every morning. I spent KES 10,000 to purchase a modern bed and mattress, I am currently very happy and enjoying my nights on proper bedding. In addition, I bought 4 goats for KES 10000 this was to start goats keeping a reliable source of income for the family as well as a future investment for my kid's education. Similarly, I used KES 30,000 to support the education of my kid who was joining secondary school. I did the necessary shopping as well as paid part of the required fees for the entire term. The remaining amount assisted me in acquiring enough food for the family since I had no food in my store.
