My new goal is to be able to improve my businesses in order to make more money and be in a position to pay school fees for my children in time. I do poultry keeping and right now I have 50 chicken that I keep. My goal is to see the project improve and I am looking forward to keeping up to 100 chicken. This investment will see is pay school fees much more comfortably than we now do and hence the overall goal of seeing our children get the best in terms of education shall be achieved. We have three children with the first one having just started school.

In my opinion GiveDirectly did very well by giving us support unconditionaly. This gave us the freedom to make decisions on how best the money was going to be of benefit to us. We also feel that the organisation treated us with dignity by allowing us to make such decisions on our own.

I used Kes 28000 to buy a dairy cow and used KES 12000 to pay school fees for our child who is in grade 1. The amount that remained was used to buy food and other basic household needs for my family. When we received money from GiveDirectly,bwe made a decision to buy one dairy cow because we did not own one before. We are a young family and we recently settled down and.mostnof the things that we are doing are to get to bus started as a family. We are so happy as a family to have benefited from the program that has been life changing to us.

The moment I received my transfer, I was at the farm tending to my crops when I heard my phone ringing and vibrating loudly, Upon checking I saw a Mpesa notification message showing that I had received money from GiveDirectly, I was overwhelmed with joy and happiness, I knew that I will be able to buy a dairy cow that would relieve us from the daily expenses incurred in purchasing milk, I then called my husband to inform him of the wonderful news that came our way, words cannot express how happy he was, I am grateful to have received the support from GiveDirectly.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now own a dairy cow, My children would be getting milk for daily consumption hence I will be able to save the cost of milk, at the same time I started a goat rearing project so that in future I will be able to earn and I income out of it. Lastly, I bought foodstuffs with the remaining amount of the transfer. We are happy and grateful that the transfer has changed our living standards.

I am a consistent farmer, I am blessed with three children, the biggest need that I had was to own a dairy cow, I have young children who depend on milk, unfortunately, I only had a bull but not a dairy cow, when I received my transfer I used KES 35,000 in purchasing a dairy cow, I then bought goats worth KES 10,000. Lastly, I bought foodstuffs with the remaining part of the transfer, I am relieved because we had been buying in small quantities all along from the nearby market. am happy for the support that has lifted my life greatly.
