I do not have any new goal now, My main focus is to save some money from my small business of selling second-hand clothes. This is to enable me to fence my land and build a house. I am so happy because I had always wished to own land and GiveDirectly has enabled me to fulfill that dream.

GiveDirectly does well in that it has enabled most people to invest in different income-generating projects. This was not easy before since there was no capital to start with. I do not find anything that GiveDirectly did not do well.

I had always wished to start an income-generating business but I did not have the capital. When I received the second transfer I decided to start a business selling second-hand clothes. I spent $180 on getting the stock, I am selling children's clothes and this has been giving me some income to meet my daily household basic needs and pay the school fees for my children. I am so happy because this was always my dream. I also make some clay pots and sell them at home and sometimes at the market I started this some years back, and I save the money that I get in merry go round group that we have started in the village. The group had given me some divided and I top up with part of the first transfer and $140 of the second transfer and purchased land. I lived with my parents and I had always wished to buy my own land and live separately with my children. Currently, I have land and I am planning on fencing and building a house. I spent $50 on purchasing goats, which reproduce twice per year, I will sell the young ones to pay the school fees for my children. The remaining amount of money I spent on food and other basic household items that we were missing.

It was around 8 Pm I was preparing supper when I heard a message notification from my phone. I reluctantly check out since I did not expect any message from anyone. it was a message confirming that I have received some money from GiveDirectly. This was the highest amount of money I have ever received. I felt so happy because I knew I would be able to purchase a piece of land. My family members were so happy and we all celebrated. I went to withdraw the money the following day and started budgeting. I am so grateful for the support because GiveDirectly has changed our living standards.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have purchased a piece of land. This had been my dream to fulfill. I depend on small casual jobs and making pots. I make five pots per day. One sells at 100 shillings. This has always been my source of income. Sometimes when there is no market it was challenging since I had no money to buy basic needs for my family. The money that I would get is so small and there were no savings. When I received the transfer from GiveDirectly I felt so happy and I decided to invest in purchasing land. Currently, I have started doing some plowing ready to start horticulture farming. I will get enough food after harvest to feed my family. The surplus I will sell to earn an income to pay school fees for the children and meet additional basic needs. GiveDirectly has enabled me to achieve what has been my dream and I am so grateful.

I spent KES 50,000 on purchasing a piece of land. This was my priority since I live with my parents and I have always wished to own my land. farming is my passion but the challenge is that I did not have land. currently, I have started to farming and in the next few months, I will get enough food to feed my children. I spent the rest of the money on food and household items that I was lacking at that particular time. GiveDirectly enabled me to fulfilled my dream of owning land. This could have taken quite some time since I did not have a continuous source of income.
