I would wish to build a house because the initial one is small besides being in a poor state. I hope that I will be able to achieve this goal, we will all be able to shelter under one roof as a family. Currently, some have been sheltering in their friend's houses which are quite far from the villages we live in. It will therefore be my pleasure to achieve this goal.

In my opinion, the organisation did a very good job by fulfilling all their promises made during the enrolment. One of them is sending unconditional cash transfers into our Mpesa accounts. This was the best because it enhanced transparency and there were low cases of theft and bribery.

I spent almost $180 for my second transfer on six goats that I am currently rearing. It has been my wish to have the for quite some time but I couldn't afford them because they are relatively expensive. I am certain that once they will increase in number, I will be able to pay school fees for my grandchildren without struggling since it has been my main challenge. Additionally, I cleared the fees arrears of $15 for my three grandchildren in primary school. They have been on and off because of the arrears and this has generally been affecting their academic performance. Also, I feel they are now motivated since they will not be sent home for fees for the remaining days of the year. I am now assured of good results from them unlike before when they used to experience lots of hiccups. With the remaining cash transfer, I have been buying food and settling all the debts.

I was so happy the moment I received the money because I didn't have, which helped me get the things I desired to have for so long. These things included a bed and mattress because I used to sleep on the mud floor which was both uncomfortable and unhealthy. I got some livestock which relieved me from the tedious and tiresome work of going to the forest and cut down trees and burn charcoal.

The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving money from GiveDirectly is that, I now have goats that I used to desire for so long. I have a bed and mattress, I sleep comfortably the whole night and I was relieved from the tedious and tiresome work of cutting trees and burning charcoal. I am happier and healthier now than I used to be, before I started receiving money from GiveDirectly. I am so grateful.

I spent most of the transfer which was almost KES 42000 on buying 11 goats which is to me, both an investment and a sign of wealth that I had desired for so long. These goats I believe, since they are quite a number already, will continue to multiply and increase in numbers which I will be selling regularly at our local market during market days which will be my continuous source of income which enable me address the challenges I will be facing in the future, relieve me from the tedious and tiresome work of cutting trees and burning charcoal to sell. I also spent KES 8000 on buying a bed and mattress because I used to sleep on the floor, which was both uncomfortable and unhealthy, and I desired for so long to sleep somewhere comfortable. I am so happy that I now have a bed and mattress, I sleep comfortably and with no fear of waking up with body pains. All thanks to GiveDirectly.
