My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that I have bought a water tank for storing water for domestic use. I used to walk for a long distance to collect water and this was so tiresome and time-consuming. I had wished to buy a tank but it was not possible before because I did not have money. I also build a storehouse. This will enable me to store feeds for my cows. I used to store in an open field and it could not last for long before becoming rotten.

GiveDirectly does well by giving out money to poor people to improve their standard. I do not find anything that GiveDirectly did not do well because they fulfill all their promises.

I spend my second transfer to buy iron sheets and built a storehouse for storing feeds for my cow. I also built a Poultry house, cultivated my farm and planted Napier grass, I paid school fees for my children in various school and the rest of the money I used it to complete building the house that I had started using the previous transfer.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have been able to achieve some of my plans that I had not been able to for so long. First, GiveDirectlys transfer enabled me to build a cowshed and to plant some livestock feeds on my farm. With these, my livestock will always have enough feeds and a clean place to stay in. Also, I was able to clear paying school fees arrears for my children hence they are doing well in their studies. All these would not have been possible had it not have been for GiveDiveDirectlys financial support.

I realized that GiveDirectly had sent me money in the morning after waking up. I became so happy as I knew that I would be able to achieve my plans. We celebrated the good news as a family on that day by eating meat.

My children's education has always been my priority since I always wish them the best in life. Because of this, I used part of my first transfer to clear school fees arrears for my two children in college. Also, I bought some materials to use in building a cowshed and a store to use in storing livestock feeds and also paid for its labor. I used the remaining amount on farming. I bought some Boma Rhodes seeds and nappier grass and hired a tractor to till my farm.
