I think GD should improve on the supervision so that people do not have an opportunity to misuse the transfers. Currently the monitoring procedures for the organization is quite wanting.

GD helps the poor people in the society by uplifting their status in the society. Most people have used the money to build new houses and moved away from the old and dilapidated houses they used to live in before. I think living in descent houses is a good thing because it prevents the occupants from contracting so many diseases.

I used the money to set an irrigation project that I will use to irrigate my farm where I plan to start a farming project so that I can be able to get my daily bread from the business. Setting the irrigation plant alone cost around 50000 KES because it involves building a concrete poles, buying a big water tank plus getting a new generator and paying for the labor charges.

The biggest difference is that I now can farm vegetable for both domestic and as a cash crop. This will help me generate income for my family as well as put food on my table. Before, this was not the case. The vegetables could either die due to drought or eaten up by the goats and sheep due to lack of proper fencing. This has been solved by the new tank that stores water and the strong fence to keep the animals out of the farm. My farming has improved drastically.

The moment I saw the mpesa message indicating receipt of the first transfer I was filled with joy. I could envision how the vegetable farm would look like already. This made me so happy and restless.

I have always longed to venture into vegetable farming ever since but finances could not allow me to do proper farming. Initially, my plants used to die due to lack of water during dry seasons and goats could eat up the whole farm due to lack of proper fencing. Upon receiving my first transfers I knew that finally, my opportune time had reached to improve my vegetable farming. I bought a water tank 7000 litres and metal stands to elevate the tank. This will help me store water during dry seasons. I also bought cedar poles, barbed wire, sand, cement, ballast, and chicken link to fence my farm to prevent any animal from encroaching into my farm. The remaining amount I bought seedlings that are currently in the nursery waiting to be transplanted. I am looking forward to purchasing a water pump and sprinklers to even make my farming more efficient.
