I am so thankful to GiveDirectly because it has empowered me to construct a new house. Previously I was living in a small hut that was in a critical condition and it could not accommodate some of, my family members. In addition to that, I am now owning some goats, courtesy of GiveDirecyly. These will now be the assets that I can depend on just in case of any financial crisis that I may encounter. If it were no for GD coming to my village, I would not have achieved all these.

In my opinion, Give does well in all the sectors. The fact that we were given the freedom to plan for ourselves on what w have been desiring to have for all those years. As per me, I managed to build a new house and own some assets such as goats that I will lean on just in case of ay financial difficulties. I do not see any sector GD failed us.

I spent part of my second transfer on buying three goats worthy of KES 10500. These will serve the assets that I can depend on in case of any emergency. I also bought some building poles, ropes, and timber 6000, for the completion of the house which I had initially constructed using the first transfers. I then paid Masson 6000 as his labor charge. The remaining amount of money I am using it in buying some enough foodstuffs...

Building a new home with a bigger space is the greatest achievement I have had so far. I used to live in a house that was in a very bad condition. The walls had cracks and the roof always leaked during the rainy season. Due to my lowly financial status, I couldn't save enough money for this purpose. However, much I wanted to reach this goal, I had to wait. GiveDirectly assistance finally came through. I couldn't believe to have bought the required building materials at ago. I am now in the process of constructing a new one which gives me so much peace that I didn't have previously.

It was around 6 am when I heard a message notification on my phone. On checking the contents, I was filled with happiness upon realizing it was from GiveDirectly indicating they had sent me my first transfer. I remember cancelling all the day's activities because I couldn't concentrate after receiving the message. I was so overwhelmed since it is the highest amount I have ever received in my life. I thank GiveDirectly for making my day.

I spent a bigger portion of my first transfer on buying building materials which include iron sheets nails and building poles. My previous house was in a bad state, it used to leak during rainy seasons which made it unbearable for me. Due to my lowly financial status, I couldn't renovate it. The money I received from GiveDirectly has enabled me to build a new home, which will soon be complete. In addition to this, I also spent KES 18000 to pay for my children's school fees. It gives me great joy to see my kids studying comfortably. I currently using the remaining transfers to buy my family's daily basic needs. These include foodstuffs as well as paying for other household expenses.
