I currently wish to buy more goats in order to boost my return on investment. I won't have to struggle to pay my kids' fees as a result. It will be easier to convert a goat into money when the time comes. I am therefore unable to give a date for adding the goats, but this will be my top priority whenever I receive financing.

GiveDirectly performed a great job, in my opinion, by letting us decide how to use the funds. After they were withheld because of fee arrears, I was able to obtain my son's school credentials. I appreciate the organization for giving me the freedom to choose how I want to use the money. Maybe I wouldn't have reached this level of contentment and happiness if I hadn't had the choice to decide how to spend the money. Sincerely, I could not discover any areas where GiveDirectly fell short.

The first thing I did when I got the second transfer was pay off my son's college debt. He finished his education, but his academic certificates were withheld since he had some financial arrears. I therefore thought it wise to give the college the necessary $250. Currently, my son is content because he has his academic papers, which comforts me and offers me peace of mind. After that, I decided to finish my house's roofing. I began the project with the initial transfer, but when the funds ran out, I was unable to finish the roofing. I purchased the roofing timbers and 20 pieces of iron sheeting. The severe drought left me with no choice but to use the remaining funds for the family's upkeep

I was happily enjoying supper that evening with my children when I received a message alert on my phone. I did not check right away because I thought they were promotional messages from service providers. When I finally checked the contents of the message, I could not believe that I had received Ksh. 55000 in my mpesa account. I was greatly overjoyed and waited patiently for daybreak to withdraw the transfer. The thought that I could now build a decent house made me happier and thanked them for their financial support.

Building a decent iron roofed house is the greatest achievement that I was able to fulfil through the transfer. It's been my plan to accomplish this but I could not afford to buy the materials required. Every coin from the casual jobs that I do went to food and school fees only. I was not able to save enough money to facilitate the construction. I thank GiveDirectly because, through the transfer, I was able to build my dream house. It is spacious enough as compared to the previous one and iron-roofed. Being able to construct a decent house makes it to be the biggest difference in my daily life.

I spent a bigger portion of my recent transfer on buying building materials which include 20 pieces of iron sheets, nails and building poles. I am in the process of constructing a new decent house since the one I am currently sheltering is not spacious. More so, it is in a bad shape and its roof leaking when it rains. I also paid Ksh. 11000 to the mason for his job and other expenses associated with the construction. Apart from this, I also spent Ksh. 7000 and purchased two goats and added to my already existing goat shed. Owning the goats is a source of finance for me since I do not have a single source of income to rely on. I am expecting the goats to reproduce and increase in number. I can readily sell the offspring to settle my financial needs.
