I spent my transfer in paying dowry, in that I bought two cows worth 27000 KES and took to my wife's place because I have stayed with her for a very long time without going to their place.I also bought iron sheets worth 14000 with an intention of putting up a new house once I get more money because the one we are currently staying the roof is leaking when it rains.

I spent a larger portion of my second transfer on buying a second hand motorcycle that I'm using for taxi services and used 2000 KES to buy some households.

Previously I used to supply people with water from the lake using a bicycle which was hectic and I had already developed chest problem as a result. Now that I have a motorcycle I find it easy to ride since it doesn't require much energy. My source of income too has increased.

I spent my first transfer on buying a bag of maize 4,200 KES and other household expenditures 1700 KES. I bought a sack of charcoal 1500 KES and I paid school fees for my three children who are in primary school 800 KES. I settled my house rents of three months 1800 KES.

Earlier that day my landlord had threatened to evict us out of the house if we hadn't paid house rent arrears of three months and the only hope that we had is loaning from this financial institution which my wife had enrolled in but it wasn't coming through hence in the evening we were seated with my wife hopeless and a message popped in my phone and upon checking it out it was a message verifying to me that GiveDirectly had sent money,I felt very happy and relieve and thanked God for the magical blessing He had given me through GiveDirectly. I am thankful for GiveDirectly and this is a memorable moment which I will never forget.
