My life is now different because of the house that I managed to construct using the transfers. My previous house was in poor condition and I did not have money to buy the materials needed to construct a decent house. It was always stressed whenever it could rain I used to seek shelter from my relatives and neighbors. To add on that, before GD came into my life, I didn't have any livestock, I am now glad because I now own some goats. I am expecting them to reproduce and start a business of selling the offspring once they mature and generate an income.

GiveDirectly does well in everything it chose do o in ur region. This is because every needy household and everyone was satisfied. Since the enrolment was free and fair, I did not hear any issues or complaints from the village. I do not see any sector GD failed us.

I spent part of my second transfer on buying five goats at a total of KES 15000. These have been my well thoughtful assets for so long but I could not afford to purchase them because of the financial difficulties. I then bought some beddings such as a bed and mattress at KES 10000. This was to replace the traditional bed made of ropes that I have been using for all years. The remaining amount of money I used to buy some basic needs such as clothes, sufficient food, and some other household items.

Before GiveDirectly came to us, I was sleeping on an old and worn-out mattress and a traditional bed which I had not been able to replace over some years due to financial constraints. However, I am now happy that when I received the first transfer, I managed to replace them by purchasing a new wooden bed and a mattress. I am now sleeping comfortably unlike before when I was using the old beddings.

I was woken up by a message alert on my phone early in the morning. Since I couldn't comprehend the contents of the message, I had to wait for my helper at daybreak, who later on notified me of the good news that I had finally received my first transfer from GiveDirectly. I was filled with happiness and I celebrated with my family for this fortune.

I spent KES 9000 of my first transfer on purchasing three goats which I am currently rearing in my homestead. I did not have any and my desire was to at least own some. Through this transfer, I acquired the three goats,which are assets that I can readily depend on in case of a financial hardship. I have also been sleeping on an old mattress and a traditional bed which was not really comfortable for me. Though my desire was to one day change them. When I received my first transfer, I bought a new wooden bed at KES 7500 and also bought a mattress at KES 3000, to replace the old beddings that I was using. Lastly, I am spending the remaining amount to cater for my household basic needs such as foodstuffs for my family and paying for other household expenses.
