I currently want to establish a business raising livestock, mainly goats. I am aware that it will take some time because the money I make from my occasional work is not enough to accomplish anything right away, but I am confident that with hard effort and financial discipline, I can succeed. Even though I would love to start out with a cow, it won't be realistic because the revenue is unpredictable. As a result, investing in goats will be my initial investment, with the purchase of a cow coming later.

A God-brought organization called GiveDirectly helped me achieve the impossible. Before the second transfer from GiveDirectly, I was residing in a dilapidated house with an iron sheet roof that was rusting and leaking. With the money, I was able to rebuild my home and construct a family toilet. Sincerely, I can tell that GiveDirectly is an organization that changes people's lives and revives faith in humanity.

Upon getting the second transfer, I decided to renovate the roof of my house since the iron sheets were old, rusty and leaking during the rainy season. Therefore, I bought 16 pieces of iron sheets for $160 and also used $100 to pay the contractor. As I speak I am in the house and very happy about getting a new roof. This has seen my life-changing for the better. Again, living in a home that had no toilet was very shameful and unhygienic. Not only that I was tired of going to the bush for nature calls but also I could not withstand the shame of taking my visitors to a neighbor's toilet. Therefore, I decided to construct a pit latrine which is now complete and in use. I cannot state the exact amount used since I trusted my son to be in charge and he did exactly what I wanted. Thereafter, I opted to use the remaining amount for the family's upkeep because we had no food since we did not harvest any crops due to the scarcity of rainfall.

The moment I received a message I passed my phone to my granddaughter Vivian then she informed me that I have been sent ksh 55000 from Give directly. I felt relieved and happy since I never expected such a amount of mpesa and I heard a lot of pending bills so I was sure that I'll be able to settle them.

Life has really changed initially, I used to sleep hungry due to lack of food but since,I started receiving the transfer life really transformed because I normally receive money from the milk I sell daily . At the moment I'm leaving in a very decent house because I renovated my house from the transfer I received from give directly.

Previously, I was leaving in a dilapidated house. So the moment I received the transfer I used some of the money to purchase materials so that I can rebuild my house.As an old person with many of grandchildren who depend on me sometimes life becomes so difficult due to lack of milk and food to give them,i decide to buy one dairy cow so that I can use the milk from the cow to feed the family as well as sell them.
