I do not have any new goals so far and I am thankful for the ones that I was able to accomplish. One is the issue of renovating my house. Its poor condition has been frustrating me for years because whenever it could rain it was hectic. I could honestly never imagine this problem would come to an end. It feels like a miracle to us and we will forever be thankful for this support.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly has been doing great in my village and this is evident in how our lives have transformed. The unconditional cash transfers have empowered us to build decent houses, start new businesses, and own livestock among others. I, therefore, can't point out any part that deserves a change.

I spent part of my second transfer on paying school fees of KES 15000 for my two children who are in form two and three respectively. The money came in good time because they were to be sent home the same week as a result of the accumulated fees. I am happy they will continue with their studies without being bothered. Also, I bought pieces of iron sheets, building poles, and bags of cement at a total of KES 20000. This was for the renovation of my house which had an old roof with weak walls. Sometimes I was so worried that it would collapse and cause more harm. With the remaining amount of money, I have been buying food for the family since there has been a prolonged drought.

I was on my way home from my errands when I received a confirmation message that I had received money from Give Directly. this made my evening because at that time my household was facing a serious financial challenge. I could not wait to get home so as to share the good news with my spouse. He too was excited about it and we all thanked God for the blessing.

Having been able to clear my children's school fees is one of my greatest achievements. Raising their fees has not been a walk in the park considering that I relied on helping people out on the farm for pay which is not reliable. I am proud my children do not stay back at home while others are studying. After clearing the fees we got relieved financially and currently, the little we earn comes in handy in meeting daily household needs.

On receiving the second transfer, I had to ensure that my children's school fees arrears were settled. They owed the school 22000 KES which I cleared with part of the first transfer which kept them in school the whole term. I am glad their grades improved because they did not miss any lessons the whole term due to inadequate school fees. I also spent 12000 KES on four goats since they have been helpful especially when it comes to raising school fees for my children. Hopefully, in the future, once they will have given birth I will sell some of the young ones to order raising school fees and meet other household expenses. 8000 KES I spent on both cement and plastering labor. I am glad my household members no longer suffer from common cold infections that were caused by too much dust from the floor. The remaining 12500 KES I spent on foodstuff for my family of 8.
