I was poor, I had nothing to count on until I received these transfers from GiveDirectly, my second transfer, I spent on buying building materials that I used to build a new house, my old house was so old and could collapse any time when it rained and I always had to flee it to sleep in people's houses for fear of it collapsing on me. I always escaped death in a whisker. The house was empty after its construction so, when I received my third transfer, I bought household items. First, I thought of a bed, I have been sleeping on mats on the floor, GiveDirectly has changed my entire life for the better. I had some money left from my third transfer and thought of buying livestock, so I bought a cow and goats I am rearing as I never had any. The remaining I now spent on food for my consumes and cushions for my seats.

I spent my second transfer on building a new and modern house and bringing down my other house which was very old and termite infested and almost collapsing on me. I then bought a sack of corn for my family's feeding. I then spent the rest on buying a sheep that I am intending to rear.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now at piece because I do not have to worry about feeding my family since I can now comfortably afford to buy food for my family daily.

I spent the larger part of my first transfer on buying one bag of maize 4250KES hence I have enough food to feed on and I don't miss meals the way I used to.I bought 3 pieces of iron sheets and timbers. I also bought clothes for my grandchildren.

I received my first transfer in the evening at my homestead, I was very happy since in my whole life, I have never received such an amount of money from any good Samaritan. I am thankful to GiveDirectly.
