If I could not receive money from give directly I would not have managed to put up a spacious comfortable business premise. I could have lose all my customers and end up closing down the business, but right now I am very happy and glad that I have a very nice comfortable place to carry out my business. I would also not have invested in large scale sugarcane farming as I did without Give directly.

In my opinion Give directly did very well by using M-pesa as away of sending money since it is very convenient because the M-pesa agent is almost every where and also very safe because it is not easy for one to know if you have received the money. They also did very well by not involving authority since it could attracted corruption.

I spent most of the second transfer to buy building materials and built my own business premise at the near by center. I am running hotel business but the house I was in was very small that could not accommodate my customers comfortably, most of the customer could sit out side the hotel and this was not a good reputation. I started losing most of my customers because of lack of comfortable space for customers to sit on. Since I built a new house I have attracted all my customers back and my business is now doing very well and my customers too are very happy because they are eating in a very spacious comfortable house. The remaining balance I spent to invest in sugarcane farming, where I am very sure of getting good harvest that will allow me to pay for my children school fee with ease.

I started constructing my new house but due lack of enough finances, I was not able to finish it for a period of a year so when I received this transfer, I was very pleased and now I have a new house.

I felt very happy because I have never received such amount of money in my life.

I spent my transfer on planting sugarcane in large scale, paid school fees for my children who had been sent home for the same and to buy steel doorsand windows which I did not have.
