My life has greatly changed since I received my transfers. It is always my happiness to see my family happy and healthy thus I always struggle to put a meal on the table and bring in more assets that we can lean on as a family during hard times. When I received my transfer from GiveDirectly, I spend part of it on my family wellness. I bought a cow that I look at it as an added asset and I believe soon it will calve thus give us milk for both household consumption and sales. I am happy that this has given me a peaceful mind in that It has reduced my thinking of what to lean on in case of a financial crisis. In addition, I spent some money on my son's school fees. I am at peace now since he will have a humble time for his studies and be allowed to sit for the exam. I am happy that GiveDirectly has improved our family.

We have been able to provide for our families effectively, purchasing livestock as assets and most importantly, building better iron-roofed houses thus enjoying good shelter. In my opinion, GiveDirectly has done well in uplifting and I urge them to continue doing so.

I spent part of my transfer on farming. I used it to buy a barbed wire, poles and wire mesh to use in fencing my compound. I settled on this so that my livestock and chicken will not be moving to the farm to destroy our crops. Also, I spent part of my transfer to pay school fees for my children. I am now a happy parent because they were allowed to sit for their end year examinations. This an achievement for me since I believe my children will only have a brighter future through education. In addition, I spent the remaining amount to buy food and clothes for my family to add to the few we had.

The biggest difference in my daily is that I managed to build a poultry house using the transfers I got from Give Directly. I think I can now do the poultry business in large scale because I built a big house. I am happy because I will not incur the losses which I use to incur previously. My eggs cannot be eaten by dogs and cats like before.

I was so excited when I received the transfers. At first, I thought they were empty promises. I had doubts that someone can really help without expecting anything in return. I knew that my plans would be accomplished. I sat down and started budgeting how I would spend the money without wasting a penny.

I spent KES 15000 of my transfers to pay school fees for my child who is in college. Apart from that, I used the remaining KES 20000 to purchase iron sheets and timber for constructing a business premise that I plan to rent out to any potential entrepreneur. I also spent KES 15000 to build a poultry house. I had some chicken but didn't have a proper structure to house them. I then used the remaining amount to buy my clothes and a few for my children. I feel like I have done a lot in a very short time. I am very grateful to this organization for enabling me to achieve all this.
