My New goal is to start a new business selling vegetables within the village and even in town. Currently, I am jobless and I feel it's high time I should also be earning a living so that I can support my spouse in providing for our family which is growing. I believe if I will get sufficient income, our lives will never be the same again.

In my opinion, the organisation played a very big role in transforming my life positively. The idea of offering us unconditional cash transfers has empowered me enough to own assets like livestock, and a beautiful house and managed to clear fees for my children. Therefore I do not think there's anything that deserves a change.

I spent part of my second transfer on buying eight goats worthy of KES 20000. I choose to purchase them purposely for my children by the time they will be transitioning to high school, they will have increased in number. Therefore, I will sell some so that I can tell them to school. Apart from that, I bought two dairy cows at KES 30000. In a few months to come, I will start a business supplying milk in town and earn a living. Also, my children will be healthier because they will be drinking milk daily which will be a surplus in their meals. Additionally, I paid fees for my two children in primary school and I am so glad that they are continuing with their studies without any hitches. With the remaining amount, I bought food for my family and decent clothes for the children.

I felt so good the moment I learned that I had received my transfer. At that time, I was held up on my farm preparing for planting season. Immediately I heard the message notification, I quickly checked it and to my surprise, it was the transfer. I could not control my happiness at that time because that was a very unique situation in my life. I had never received such an amount of money in my life. Without consulting an outsider, I just planned with my husband to use the transfer to buy some goats, as this would boost our asset value.

For several years, I have been ailing from an eye problem. Since I had no money, I had never bothered to seek proper medication. However, with the transfer, I have been able to seek medication and I feel some improvement. Although I have not been discharged from the hospital, I can testify that my life is relatively better. I am hopeful that very soon I shall fully recover from this condition and I shall be glad to rejoin my family members.

Although my husband owns a tribe of goats, about 200 in number, sadly I have none that belongs to me. Immediately after I received my transfer, I opted to spend it on buying 3 goats for KES 14,000. I am so glad that courtesy of the transfer I have begun to rear goats. Through raising goats, I shall be able to support my husband in meeting our children's education needs. I also spent KES 5,000 on meeting my medical bills. I have an eye problem that has been disturbing me for a while. At the moment I am admitted to the hospital and what has been sustaining me is the GiveDirectly's transfer. As a matter of fact, my family has been able to obtain daily food from part of the transfer that I saved. I am not really sure how it would have been supposing I never received the financial aid.
