The new goal that emerged recently is to raise enough money so that I can purchase barbed wire to fence my house. I have been experiencing loss and damage from the wild animals once they invade my farm. I, therefore,e, believe by fencing it, my farm products will be safe hence reducing the rate of famine in my household.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well by ensuring that all the beneficiaries get proper teaching on how to handle Mpesa services. This has been of help because some of us were not conversant with the phones and the Mpesa. Therefore this has helped us in such a way that we were able to secure our cash transfers appropriately. I, therefore, do not see anything that the organisation did wrong.

I spent part of my second transfer on buying bags of cement, sand and all the labour charges which cost around KES 25000. I had intended to renovate my house which was semi-permanent and one of its walls was almost collapsing. I was always worried about our safety, especially during the rainy season. During the rainy periods, we have therefore been seeking shelter together with my three family members. I am currently a happy parent for finally being able to renovate my house. I no longer have to move around seeking shelter also I feel this has restored my dignity. With the remaining amount of money, I have been buying food for the family and other household items.

Felt very happy. since I never thought I will receive such a huge amount of money for free. During the enrollment period, I budgeted for the money so the moment I received the money I already knew how to spend.

Water was big challenge, I was facing since our area is semi-arid and most of the time we experience prolonged droughts but as we speak the water problem has been solved. I am as well leaving a comfortable life since I'm now leaving in my new semi-permanent house with adequate water flow. From the water I sell I have employed myself and I'm getting daily income to cater for my needs which I previously never heard all these changes have been brought to my life by give directly transfer I received. recently.

My semi-permanent house was under construction. So the moment I received the transfer I used the money to complete the house which could have taken me more than six months to complete. I also used the money to supply water from my neighbor to my newly completed house the thing I never thought it will happen, I just got this noble idea the moment I received the money from give directly I also went ahead and bought a 3000 thousand liters tank. Now I'm selling water to my neighbours at affordable prices.
