I spent most of the cash transfer to buy a dairy cow,I thought of buying cow because it is a long term investment that I could relay on for so long and it is also a source of income to my family. Fortunately it has started producing milk, that I am selling some to the community and some for my family consumption and making profit. Since the milk has started getting me some income, my family has never gone to bed hungry. We are able to at least meet our daily needs, as compared to before when I was depending on farming alone to sustain my family which sometimes I could not even get enough produce to sustain my family. I also spent the transfer build a kitchen. My children now has very comfortable place to spend their night since they were sleeping in my neighbor's house and I was not at peace because I was not sure the behaviours of the children they sleeping with. The remaining balance I spent to by some goats but fortunately I sold them when my daughter was joining secondary school, since I did not have enough money to pay her school fee. I am glad she has joined secondary school like other children.

In my opinion give directly did a very well by dealing with people directly and not involving authorities since I we could not have gotten the money as it was said if they could have been involved.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now have a stable reliable source of Income. I managed to buy a dairy cow and fortunately it has started producing milk. Of which l sell some milk in our local market and some for my family consumption. Since the milk has started getting me some income, my family has never gone to bed hungry. We are able to at least meet our daily needs. My children too now has a very comfortable place to spend their night as compared to before when they could walk a distance to the neighbour which was very risky and tiresome. I am also at peace because I know they are sleeping in a very secured place where do not need to worry of them being harmed. I am also glad because I have managed to admit my daughter in secondary schools and paid most of her first term school fee with ease.

We purchased 10 pieces of iron sheet,poles and nails that we will use to construct a kitchen which will also serve as my children's bedroom.I then used the remaining amount to revive my grocery business which had collapsed months ago due to lack of money.

I was awaken by the text message which came at around 5 am and I could not get any more sleep from then because I was eagerly waiting for daylight so that I could go out test if the money was really in my account or if it was only a joke.

I now have my own business which will sustain my family whenever my husband is not able to provide for the family during hard times. I am also glad that my children will no longer go hungry.
