My life life is different than it would have been if I never received my transfer in that, I was able to get proper medical care and at the moment l am feeling well. Also, I was able to construct a proper shelter for my family, Back in the days I was living in a old, grass roofed house which was leaking during the rain season. Furthermore, I am now sleeping well in a comfortable beddings unlike before when I use to sleep on a traditional bed with a broken leg and using mats as beddings. This was not a comfortable considering that I had a backbone problem. Lastly I was able to start a livestock rearing a future investment for the myself.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well for sending direct cash transfer to my phone. It has helped me a lot in getting proper medication and construct a decent house for myself something I could not imagine I will be able to fulfil in short time.

For many years, I have been suffering from a backbone complication.I spent my transfer to seek for medical care to my backbone problem by undergoing several x-rays. I had been sick but I fail to obtain appropriately medication due lack of finances. The remaining amount assisted me to purchase goats which is my future investment.

It was around 4 PM when I heard a loud vibration from my mobile phone. I decided to check what the message was all about, then realized it was an Mpesa message from GiveDirectly. I was very happy and grateful. I was so sure I will achieve a lot from financial support and may God bless this organization so that they can empower other people in this world.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now own goats. I  settled in keeping them because they have numerous benefits. They also reproduce faster compared to any other domestic animal. Their pasture is also readily available because they can stay in any kind of climate. They also require little supervision's this meaning apart from rearing them, I can also do some other stuff. My plan is when they reproduce I will be selling the offsprings when they mature so that I can be able to pay some school fees for my son without any difficulties. I will also be getting some manure from them which will help my farm to be more productive. Generally, I believe my living standard will also improve because of these goats

I spent part of my first transfer on buying some building materials such as iron sheets, building poles, timber, and nails. I purchased all these with the intention of constructing a new house since the previous one was very small and in poor condition. I then bought some4 beddings which include a wooden bed, mattress, and bedsheets. These were to replace the old mats that I have been using as beddings. Also, I bought a goat as the living assets that lean on just in case of any financial crisis. With the remaing amount of money, I am using it in buying sufficient foodstuffs for my family.
