I really wanted to use the funds to repair my husband's car because he was a taxi driver and also I wanted to use the funds to invest into my business so it could bring me more income and give me more profit in order to help me sustain my family better.

I most definitely lean more on the fact that the organization is doing a great job, especially because since I received the funds my husband has gone back to work and I've been able to sustain my business and most importantly my kids have been able to stay in school.

As soon as I receivedthe funds I went ahead and used KES 10,000 to help in repairing my husband's car so that he could go back to using it as a taxi, I also used KES 10,000 which helped me retain my restaurant business because I'd mentioned that I ran small business, and then I proceeded to use KES 10,000 to pay tuition fee for my daughter who is still in primary school. Meanwhile for the rest of the funds I used gradually for the purpose of nutrition for my family.

It was around 7:45 am. I was checking my phone as usually in the morning. When I got the message indicating that I have received money from GiveDirectly. I have never received such amount of money before. I inform my spouse and he was so happy too. We immediately plan on how to spend the money I stayed for three days and went to withdrew the money. I knew I would be able to add stock to my business of fast food distribution. I am so grateful for the support because GiveDirectly has improved our living standards.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that my spouse has successfully completed processing his traveling document. He had secured a job outside the country and the main challenge was the money to process the documents that was needed. He was at ease and everything went out smoothly. He is planning to traveling next week. We do small business at home and this is our main source of income. We did not know where to get the KES 20,000 and we were so worried. We were to sell some of our assets. We are so grateful because all our businesses is running well and we did not sold Any asset. I will be the one running this business when my spouse is outside the country. GiveDirectly has changed our living standards.

I spent KES 5,000 to repair my motorcycle. We have a motorcycle which we use it for taxi. I am so grateful because now it's working well. I took 15700 to purchase more stock to my small business of fast food distribution. I had started this business but the stock had reduce since I had taken some money to purchase some of the household items. I used some amount to purchase food and clothes for my children. My spouse has secured a better job outside the country and he was preparing some of the necessary documents. He took KES 20,000 to spend on those processes. Everything is now ready and ready to leave the country next week. I saved the remaining money for household items. I am so grateful for the support.
