Yes, the new goal that I have is to connect tap water to my household. This will ensure that I have readily available water for the family's use as well as selling them to other villagers. At the moment, we are spending a lot of time looking for this precious necessity due to the drought condition in our area that had drained all our water pans. The only hope is relying on tap water which is located away from our home and is available twice a week due to rationing.

In my opinion, Give directly did well in sending cash transfers directly to phones of the less fortunate households in society. Through the transfer, there has been a great improvement in our community since we no longer see school-aged pupils roaming after the village because of lack of fees. This has given us the assurance of a better future for our children something that we are grateful for. Finally, I can conclude that there is nothing that the organization did not do well.

I spent $180 of the most recent transfer to support the education of the 2 children who were in university. Staying with them while others are learning due to huge fee balances bothered me a lot as a parent since I had great hope for them to change the living standard of my family after school. In addition, I spent $170 to boost my small kiosk business where I sell commodities like maize flour, salts, sugar, salt, etc. Currently, I am happy that the business has improved earning a profit of $2 per day which I save to educate my children and provide food for the family. Previously, I was doing charcoal vending which was a very tiresome job and had low pay that was not enough to feed us and educate the kids. Moreover, I used the remaining amount to renovate my house by purchasing and installing a door to it. Lastly, I bought 3 goats for $60 this is a long-term investment for the family and I am planning to sell them when they reproduce to cater to any financial emergency.

It was around 8 in the morning when I was heading to the bush to graze my goats when I saw the message notifications. At first, I thought they are the random messages that I have been receiving from Safaricom. A few minutes later there was another notification and I became more curious and decided to check. I was overwhelmed with happiness after realizing that they were from Segovia technology informing me that I had received my first cash transfer. My wife had accompanied me she couldn't hold her joy as well. I later rushed to the Mpesa shop and withdrew since we had already planned on what to spend on.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that my retail shop business is doing so well. Initially, I had even planned to close it down because of the insufficient capital. Most of the days, we used to utilize the capital and the little profits to cater to the basic needs. During those days I used to earn a profit of KES 300 which was very little to take good care of the nine family members. This led to some of my children not attending their classes and skipping meals while at home. Currently, the story has changed and I have been making a profit of KES 3000 in a day. I have been able to provide for all my family's needs on time unlike before whereby I used to strain a lot. Also, through the daily earnings, I am planning to open a new shop whereby my spouse will be in charge. I see it happening very soon and it will uplift our standards of living hugely.

I spent part of my first cash transfer on paying school fees of KES 7000 for my son who is in his third year. The money came in good time because I was afraid that he might not sit for his end-of-semester examination. To add to that, I boosted my kiosk business which was almost collapsing. This has been my main source of income and I was worried that it would affect my family negatively. It is now a relief to us because the business has been doing so well with good returns. I have been able to fend for my family without much struggle like before. With the remaining amount of money, I bought foodstuffs, decent clothes, and shoes for my children.
