My life is different from how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I have been able to rest. Before GiveDirectly came for enrollment, I used to look for firewood in the forest and later sell it to people and the income was always low despite the tiresome work. After I received the transfer, I was able to buy two dairy cows that has enabled me to earn income through milk sales hence I no longer have to sell firewood anymore in order to cater for my family.

GiveDirectly did well by giving us financial aid that enabled us to transform our lives in different ways.

when I received my second transfer, I spent a good amount to buy a dairy cow as a way of expanding my dairy keeping project. This will lead to an increase in milk production thus increase in my income from this project. Also, I bought three sets of seats since the ones I had were few. I spent the remaining amount to buy food and clothes for my family after paying school fees for my children.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I no longer worry much about what to eat in my house. This is because I managed to buy maize and rice in large quantities to push me for a longer period of time. Besides, I more happier owning the two bulls and in the near future, I will start earning from them through ploughing other people's farms

The moment I received the transfers, I was very happy because it was the first time getting that amount of money. I felt that all my problems were now over. My son too was equally happy because his dream of completing the teaching course was already fulfilled

I spent the money I received to purchase two bulls for ploughing. With this, it will generate some income to the family in future. I also paid college fees for my son in a teachers college, bought foodstuff and other household necessities
