I didn't not have any new goals as I had already planned on educating my children and buying a cow with this second transfer. I had these goals because to me, they are both long term investment plans in there respective ways. Educating my children will enable them stand better chances of getting employed in the future and inturn I will be able to count on them to help me address the financial challenges I will be facing, and as for the cow, I know that it will reproduce and when they become many I would be able to sell one or two and address the challenges that I will be facing as well.

I am so grateful for the money I received from GiveDirectly because it helped me educate my children and buy a cow. I also bought food for my children as well as clothes which makes me so grateful for the amount of money I received from GiveDirectly. In my opinion, nothing was done wrong as everything was just so good according to me.

I spent most of the transfer which was KES 20000 on paying my two children's school fees because I believe educating them is also in part to always remember the assistance I received from GiveDirectly. This is also a long term investment plan since I know that with a good education, they will stand better chances of getting employed in the future and inturn I'll be able to count on them to help me address the financial challenges I will be facing as they won't forget about me. I also spent another KES 20000 on buying a cow because I have always considered it one of the best investment plans as this cow will reproduce and increase in number, which to me is all that I see in it. When they become many, I'll be able to sell one or two and address the financial challenges I will be facing in the future. I couldn't afford to address these challenges because I used to depend on my tea kiosk business whose little income was mostly shared between meeting my family's immediate needs especially food for my children, and the school fees. I am therefore, so happy that I was able to address these challenges, all thanks to GiveDirectly.

I was so grateful the moment I received the money because it gave me the ability to fulfill the plans I have been having and address the pressing challenges that had been giving me sleepless nights. My little food cafe was struggling and was not able to sustain itself which used to make me so sad but when I received the money, it was like dawn to me. I was so happy and grateful.

The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving payments from GiveDirectly is the fact that I was able to revive my food cafe which is going to be making me some profit which in turn will enable me to address the challenges I will face in the future. Also, my children are neither going to be late to report back to school nor are they going to be sent back home for school fees arrears. All thanks to GiveDireclty.

I used most of my transfer to settle school fees arrears for my two children who are both in secondary which cost KES20000. I did this because I had gotten the assistance I needed and my children's education is, I believe, an investment that has long term sustainable benefits since they will be able to be employed thanks to their good education and I will be able to count on them to assist me in the future in addressing the challenges that we will face. This gives me so much hope and satisfaction. I also spent KES15000 reviving my local food cafe which has been my business and regular source of income. However, it had been struggling and unable to sustain or take care of itself to the point that it was almost closing down. Therefore, I spent that amount to revive it because it has been and still is my regular source of income as well as a go-to place for quick meals for our neighbors and visitors alike and is a long term source of income that I believe I will be able to always count on to address some of the challenges I will face.
