I spent my third transfer on investing in sugarcane planting. I come from an area with a sugar company, but has never gotten an opportunity to supply it with raw materials as other members of the society. It has been a wish in me to have a sugarcane plantation, but resources to finance it has always been an obstacle. I am glad with GiveDirectly for enabling me fulfill my wish.

My life has greatly improved with the transfers from GiveDirectly. Today I am fully involved in a business that generates me much income at the end of the day. My spouse too has managed to acquire tools and machines required in his fishing work.

In my opinion, I have seen more good things done by the organisation as compared to the bad ones. The organisation through the help of its financiers has changed the lives of many poor Kenyans.

I spent most of my transfer to buy two cattle which were used to pay my dowry because my husband did not have any means of paying for my dowry anytime soon, bought armchairs, cushions, bed and a table which I lacked in my house, bought 10 tins of maize for my family's consumption, and also bought food for my family.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that there is respect between my husband and my parents because my dowry has been paid, I also bought fishing net which is now a main source of income and no longer work for people in their homes and their farms. Thank you GD

I spent the first transfer on buying a fishing net 3,000KES, three plastic chairs 2,000KES,8 tins of maize 1,000KES,a water basin 1,80KES,a water trough 2,00KES,utensils 3,00KES and clothes for children 1,700KES. I also gave my uncle 1,500KES.

I am planning to spend the upcoming transfer on paying dowry and making a down payment on a land I am intending to buy. I also plan to purchase household furniture such as chairs..
