Before receiving the transfer, life was a bit challenging for us as a family because we had to rely mainly on the hardly enough milk from our dairy cows to buy food and pay school fees for my wife. We normally sell most of the milk to gain income for our family. Fortunately, GD cash made it easier for me to pay school fees for my wife, I am now more comfortable to support my wife financially to further her studies.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly does good work and has significantly uplifted our lives. GD conducted its processes well with a lot of fairness. Hence, I have not seen anything that GD is not doing well.

I spent my second transfer on purchasing an additional cow worth 30, 000 KES to expand my herd of dairy cows. This would help increase milk production for sale, meaning more income for my household. I rely primarily on proceeds from dairy farming to raise school fees for my wife and buy food for my family. Hence, more income would enable us gain more and better food while paying school fees with relative ease. Besides, I spent 10, 000 KES on buying new clothes and utensils to replace the old and worn out ones. I also used 8,000 KES on extending my house by building an additional room to create more space because we had been residing in a house with only two rooms. Finally, I spent the remaining 5,000 KES in buying and raising poultry to diversify my farming practices and ensure that I gain more income in the future. We greatly thank GD.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am happy and strain less since I was able to pay my wife's fees which was a big problem because she is form and about to sit for main exams.

The moment I received my money I felt very happy since I knew this money will help me especially with my wife's school fees and for building another house since we had only a single room.

I spent my first transfer on buying building materials worth 29200 Ksh,Maize worth 3800 ksh,calf worth 12000 ksh and paid school fees worth 10000 Kshs for my wife.
