I spent my third transfer on buying 20 pieces of iron sheets which I am planning to on building a decent spacious house in my own compound since at the moment I am staying in my parent's- in-laws homestead at a leaky grassed thatched house.I bought a side -board and three goats.

I spent my second transfer on finishing paying for a second-hand motorcycle which I had started paying for at 30,000 KES, paid 10,000 KES deposit for a solar lamp, bought a sack of maize at 5,000 KES, pad school fee and bought uniforms for my three children in primary school at 2,400 KES, then used the rest of the cash on food for the house.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that am now using my motorcycle as a taxi hence am getting some income every evening, unlike before when I had to wait for over four months for my tomatoe farm to be ready before I sell the produce.

I spent my first transfer on buying fertilizer 2500 KES and maize seed 1000 KES.I paid school fees for my four children who are in primary school 1000 KES .I also bought a bag of maize 4500 KES.

I was out fetching water to a nearby lake and I saw the message from GiveDirectly confirming that I had received the transfer.I felt very happy and hopeful that my living standards will improve positively since I will be able to accomplish most of my plans which I could not do earlier due to financial instabilities.
