The main goal that I had initially was to own a piece of land because the previous one was no longer productive. For all that long I had to lease from my friends so that I can get meaningful farm produce. For now, it is a relief to us because I will even save the money that I used on leasing the farm and cater for other household items. I however do not have any other plan that came up.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly did a good job by making sure that all the vulnerable people in my village were attended to. Also, the freedom that we were given was on another level. Each one bought the assets they had desired to have for years. Also, the fact that the money was nonrefundable stood out. Therefore I can not point out anything that GiveDirectly failed in its operation.

I spent part of my transfer on buying a new bed and a matter of a total of KES 8500. It is relief to us because previously I used to floor. After all, the traditional bed had worn out. It was so tough because I was always complaining of backaches because of the discomforts. I also bought a wooden door at KES 4000 and fixed it in my house. In addition to that, I bought a solar panel at KES 4000. This has replaced the candles which were expensive and sometimes I used to stay in the dark since I could not afford to buy them. To add that I bought three goats at KES 17500. I opted for them because they reproduce very fast. With the remaining amount, I bought food for the family.

I was in my home relaxing after coming home from the water pan where I had gone to fetch water for my family consumption. After news spreads in the village that the transfer had been sent, My helper checked my phone since I am illiterate. I felt very happy after he informed me that I had to receive my transfer. I was with my husband who was very excited after learning that I had received the transfer.

Owning a new farm after purchasing an acre piece of land with my transfer is the biggest difference in my daily life. I am confident that I will produce sufficient harvest from my farm hence solve the food insecurity in my family. I will no longer have to engage in casual activities which are very tiresome to provide food for the family.

I spent 20,000 to purchase an acre of land which costs 30,000 in total. The farm that I was practicing farming had a low fertility rate which yield less harvest. The harvest could feed my family for only one month. I was depending on casual labor to feed the family which was hard to get. I am optimistic that I will have enough food for my family once I began farming on the new farm. In addition, KES 2000 acquire a water tank to store enough water for my family. I also purchased a bed and mattress for KES KES 9,000 this is because I was using a small traditional bed that had a broken leg and use sacks as beddings which were not comfortable. I used KES KES 2000 to educate my child who was in primary school. With the remaining amount, I bought enough food for my family.
