Of course yes, I have an ambition of making my goats' investment a major investment. Therefore, I aim to add more goats once I get some cash to expand the investment. Currently, I have some small businesses like selling some charcoal and I am using the money to fend for my family and saving some to add the goats.

Before GiveDirectly, I did not have any defined source of income. It was a struggle to find food for my family. As of now, the transfer enabled me to start an investment that I am optimistic will positively change my life. Based on that plus other developments that I see from the community members, I can say GiveDirectly is a faultless and life-changing organization.

Upon withdrawing the money, the first thing I thought of was to invest in livestock. Based on that, I bought eight goats for KES 20000.00. This is because money invested somewhere multiplies. I opted for goats over cows because they are cheap to acquire and they have ready markets. I also paid KES 1000.00 for school fees for my lower primary child so that he could have a good time in school without fee disturbances. Thereafter, I saved the remaining amount for the family's upkeep because it was a hunger period due to a prolonged drought which stoke us.

It was very early in the morning and I was busy farming on my farmlands. I heard a message on my phone and upon checking, I saw that I had received funds from give directly. I felt ecstatic and dropped all that I was doing, then rushed to my husband to tell him about the good news and we rejoiced together. Since I had plans to create employment for myself through the livestock farming business. I started making preparations for where I will purchase the goats I need. The following day, I left together with my husband to buy them.

There has been a great improvement in my life ever since I started receiving these funds from give directly. I am no longer unemployed as I used the money to buy 10 goats to start the livestock farming business. I also settled my children's school fee arrears and I got to buy some food for the family. These funds have indeed boosted our finances and it has been more manageable to fend for my three children.

I am a housewife and a mother of three. My husband, who sells goats for a living, is the sole breadwinner of the family. For a while, I have had the urge to earn and contribute to the family's expenses. However, I lacked the means to do so. Therefore, when I received my transfer from give directly, I started by purchasing 10 goats to start a livestock farming business. My children also had school fees arrears that were long overdue. To avoid them being sent out of school, I settled the debt, and whatever amount remained I used to restock the house with some nourishments.
