From the poultry investment, I developed another goal that I aim to accomplish by mid this year. My focus is to buy a refrigerator where I will be keeping the chicken medicines which is a requirement as well as making some ice cream. The target customers for the ice cream are the students because I stay near a public primary school. I think this will sell well because of the hot climate in our area.

I congratulate the organization for its well-thought agenda of assisting people through unconditional transfers. This enables people to use the money to better themselves depending on the areas they feel need attention. Although we were told the second transfer was final, I am requesting once you finalize all the areas you projected to assist to come back to us again. We are open to you and your projects. Again you can refer other willing organizations to us if possible.

After the experience I got from the first transfer which came as a surprise, I planned before the second phase. Upon getting the second transfer, I made up my mind to invest in livestock farming. I opted for this because I realized livestock farming is cheap to maintain and has security, unlike a shop where one can run at a loss if people take goods on credit and fail to pay. Therefore, I bought a cow for $150 specifically for milk both for sale and for family use. I also bought five sheep for $130 and a goat for $30. I opted for sheep over goats because they have a higher value when it comes to selling and also they withstand harsh climatic conditions more than goats. And looking at our dry climatic conditions, it will serve the sheep better than the goats. In the line of investing, I also started poultry farming. I spent $200 to buy forty chicks specifically layers for egg production. I am happy that this business picked up well and it has been helping me in catering to my family's needs.

It was around 7 am when I heard a message tone from my phone. Without hesitating I went for it in the house since I was outside in the corridor. Upon checking, it was the transfer from GiveDirectly. My heart was filled with happiness and thanksgiving since I knew the challenging areas that were hard to tackle were going to be solved.

Initially, I was struggling so much in terms of sourcing and fetching some water for my family bearing in mind that water is a necessity in life. As of now, I feel relieved from the hardship I used to pass through after fixing my tap water at home. Sincerely this could not be possible anytime soon if it were not for GiveDirectly.

When I withdrew the money, the first thing I thought of was to do some piping and apply for some water from the Kilifi Water and Sewage Company. The reason for this is that for a long time I have been fetching some water from a distance which was not good for human health because I had to overwork myself to ensure other things also take place. Concerning this, I used KSH 28000.00 in fixing some water at home. I also thought of starting a layering project, in this, I constructed a structure to keep the chicken which cost KES 8700.00 and bought 40 chicks for KES 2000.00. I also added stock-worthy KES 10000.00 to my existing shop business of shop so as to boost it and ensure that, my customers’ needs are fully taken care of.
