I used a portion of my third transfer to buy sand and cement which I have used to cement my house which I built with the second transfer, I paid laborers who cemented my house, I bought a bull to assist me plough my farm. The remaining amount, I spent to buy a sack of maize for consumption.

I spent my second transfer on building an iron roofed house at 15,000 KES after adding the first transfer, bought two oxen at 30,000 KES, then used the rest on house errands.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that am no longer ask for a more spacious house to welcome my visitors as before now that I have a a good and spacious house, my children also have some space to sleep hence they no longer go sleeping in a neighbour's house. I also have my own bulls for cultivation, hence am now able to cultivate a very big chunk of land, unlike before when I used to do hand digging hence digging only a very small area.

I spent my first transfer on purchasing food for the family consumption and used most of the amount on purchasing iron sheets with an intention of building a nice spacious house since the current one is small.

The moment I received the transfer I felt very happy. I was at our farm place cultivating my parcel of land together with my wife and when I read the message and confirmed that GiveDirectly had sent the money, I immediately left the farm work to withdraw the transfer after which I bought iron sheets that I had been admiring for a long time.
