I spent my third transfer on an oxen for 15,000 KES that I am raising for the purpose of paying it as dowry to my parents in law at a later date, as a traditional requirement. I then bought a bed and mattress for 9,000 KES for our children as they did not have, and gave my wife 15,000 KES for utensils and family clothing.The rest we spent on miscellaneous items.

I spent my second transfer on buying furniture at a cost of 23000 KES. I gave my spouse 10000 KES to buy both her personal effects and children's' too. I paid school fee of 5000 KES, bought a bag of maize at 5000 KES and used the rest of the money on buying daily meals.

The biggest difference in my daily life is having bought furniture that I was not able to buy on my own. I also managed to clear my children's' school fee thus I'm relieved of the burden and it has also given enough time to save for their next terms school fees. This is the biggest difference in my daily life.

I spent the larger part of my first transfer on buying a bag of maize 4700 KES and other non-edible household items such as soap 2800 KES.I also paid school fees for my child who is in primary school 2500 KES

The moment I received the money , I felt very happy since I was not expecting it as several organisations have always worked in my community and gave out false promises but GiveDirectly has proven that Its an organization which is true to its word.
