Two of my sons who are enrolled in secondary school will take their final national exams next exams. Like any other parent, I want to see my children succeed in life, and the only way that will happen is if they have a better education. My dream is to see them complete a university education. Even though I don't have a steady source of income, I will use the charcoal sales to save any money I can to help pay for their university education.

In addition to providing us with cash without conditions, the personnel of the organization continues to communicate with us after sending us our funds. This is a beautiful gesture in my opinion because it demonstrates care, humility, and respect on their part. Many lives have been changed by them, and the majority of people now have greater economic power. They are working hard, and I would encourage them to keep it up.

Raising the school fees for my two secondary-school-aged children has been difficult. They were not permitted to attend class at the time I received the second transfer because they owed the institution outstanding tuition. I used $450 to make up the arrears as a result. I'm pleased that I made it possible for them to continue their studies. At addition, my existing home is too small for us, forcing our kids to look for a place to sleep in the houses of the neighbors. Such arrangements have never made me feel at ease because I am unable to keep an eye on them while they are far away. I started building a house for them with the first disbursement, but I ran out of money before it was finished. Therefore, I spent $100 to buy some of the building supplies needed to finish the project. I am grateful to the group for altering my life, and I am delighted about it.

Receiving the transfers from Give Directly was the greatest blessing I have ever had in my life. I was in the farm with my sons burning charcoal as that has been my source of income. I heard a message notification ringing, my son rushed to confirm, upon reading the message, it was from Give Directly. I was so happy, in my entire life I have never received such a huge amount in one day without working for it. I thank Give Directly for the transfers as it changed my life and that of my son's.

My peace of mind is finally restored as I have no worries if it rains, before the transfers, it was so hectic moving the household item during rainy seasons, having built a modern house is the biggest difference in my daily life.

I have a son who was to join form one in a boarding school, I used Kshs 35,000 to buy the school's requirements and part of it to pay his form one school fees. Since I got married, we have been living in a grass thatched house, which could collapse anytime during rainy season, most of the times it was leaking, and I had to move some of my valuable household items into one corner. I used the remaining balance of Kshs 20,000 to build a modern two bedroom house.
