Yes. I do have new goal I n my life and this is because of the funds I received from Give Directly. I did buy a second hand motorcycle. With this motorcycle I can do many things that will be able to uplift my life. Firs I use it to fetch water for my home use and also for the livestock. I live in an area where we experience drought and finding water is very hard and I have to walk for several kilometers to be able to find water. Before I received this cash it was very hectic and tiresome and sometime I would go without water for some few days. I also do business with the motorcycle and from that I earn cash that I use to settle my family needs. I also bought a sewing machine that I use to sew clothes for other people and it’s also a means for me to get something that will help in catering for the needs of my children and family. Before I used to borrow from my friends or even hire but now that I have mine I will not incur additional costs in doing my business. Generally the cash fro give directly has been able to empower me to have multiple source of income and from this I am able to think out of the box and continue investing more and more so that I do not go back to the situation I was before receiving the cash. Since receiving the cash my life has changed and I thank Give Directly for their support may god bless you so much.

I give a thumbs up to give directly for giving us cash and enable us attend to the most needs that we are facing today. I greatly thank them for that.

I did purchase a second hand motorcycle which helps me in fetching water for my home use and also my livestock. The motorcycle is also used in business and brings me money to use and attend to my needs. I did buy a sewing machine that use in my other business.

It was around 10 o'clock when I received a message notification on my phone. I was at the hospital waiting for my turn at the que as my daughter was ill. I became so happy upon realizing that GiveDirectly had sent me the promised money and I was eager to leave the hospital so that I would finally go and pay school fees for my son who was at home as he had been sent back home to collect fee arrears.

The biggest difference in my life is that I have been able to reopen my tailoring business. I had closed down this business after my sewing machine had broken down and had not managed to repair it since I did not have money. Currently, I make upto KES 500 on a good day and I am glad that I can finally support my spouse in paying our bills. This has been possible since I was able to use my transfer to acquire a new sewing machine and fabrics to kick off the business.

When I received my transfers, I spent KES 25000 to purchase 7 goats. This are investments to me that I can rely on in future by selling them and using the money to pay school fees for my children. I am a tailor and the sewing machine that I was using had broken down and repairing it was more expensive than the cost of buying a new one. I was able to spend KES 13000 from my transfer to purchase a new one and some fabrics for this business. Also, I spent 2000 KES to pay school fees for my son who had been sent back home and spent the remaining KES 13000 on food, clothes and other household necessities for my family.
