After achieving the priority goals that I had in life, I do not have any new goals at the moment. I just want to focus on boosting the livestock rearing that I started with the transfers. The plan is to make sure it stabilizes and becomes a sustainable source of livelihood for me.

In your opinion, Givedirectly did well in helping the less fortunate households in the community. The non-refundable cash transfer aid has changed the lives of many poor households in our area. I thank the organization and pray that it will continue to assist and impact the lives of many as it did to us.

I spent the recent transfer boosting the livestock rearing that I started with the first transfer. I used $90 on purchasing 3 more goats to add to my flock. This is a future investment and a reliable source of income that will offer support whenever I face any financial challenge. Previously, I was depending on charcoal vending which was very tedious and earned me $1.5 per day which was not enough to support basic needs like food making my family go to bed on empty stomach 2 days a week. In addition, I spent $50 to purchase proper and nice clothes for myself since I was wearing old and torn ones that make me feel uncomfortable whenever I attended a community gathering. Furthermore, I spent $110 to purchase modern bedding for my lastborn son who was spending his nights on the floor. Finally, I used the remaining amount to purchase sufficient food and some household items like cooking pots, plates and buckets.

I was just relaxing with my grandchildren at around 4 PM when I heard the phone ringing very loudly. I was curious and requested my daughter-in-law who is also my helper to check what the notification was all about. I was overwhelmed with happiness to hear that they were from Segovia Technology. I finally knew that I will fulfil my heart's desires with ease.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that through the transfers, I was able to acquire livestock( a dairy cow and goats). This has always been my wish to own it but I wouldn't afford it because of the high cost of living. I choose to purchase them because the goats reproduce very fast which is evident that I will have many of them within a short period. Once they multiply, I will no longer strain to meet my daily basics like before. I have been depending on the charcoal business which was not profitable at all. Being a widow of three it has been that easy. Therefore shortly, I plan to sell some of the goats and sort out all my family's needs. Also with the cow, once it starts producing milk, I will start selling and pay school fees for my grandchildren. Through this investment, I do believe that my life will never be the same again.

I spent part of my first cash transfer on purchasing a dairy cow worthy of KES 25000 and two goats at KES 7000. I have been dreaming of them for years but I couldn't afford either of them. I am certain that they will thrive so well since the climate in my region is so favourable. Also, I bought a new bed and a mattress for a total of KES 12000. For years, I have been using the traditional beds which I never experienced any comfort. Later on, I bought iron sheets to renovate my house which was leaking. With the remaining cash, I had to buy food for my family.
