I am planning to buy a piece of land to build my house, hence home. The one we currently live in is small and family land. I would like to get my own which will be enough for my family

What you have done best is to give us the two transfers to improve our lives. Indeed, this has changed our lives to the fullest being that before we had nothing. Due to these transfers, I managed to finish building my house by fixing the three doors and roof, I also bought two goats and treated my mother up to the moment she died. I do not have any complaints but I do thank GiveDirectly and request additional transfers if possible.

I spent the first transfer of kes. 55000 in finishing building my house by buying three doors, six pieces of iron sheets, paying a constructor to fix the doors and roof, buying food, and two goats who have currently managed to bear and give birth to two kids. I spent the second transfer treating my mother who had a liver problem. She used to cough and had difficulty breathing. Her liver had swollen and she had to undergo an operation. By bad luck, she died and the same transfers helped in settling her burial expenses like buying a coffin. I am not able to bear a child yet due to the complications I have in my stomach. I am a maize farmer and my husband went to seek a job in Gikambala. Thank you so much GiveDirectly for putting a smile on my face.

It was around 4:35 pm I was at the farm cultivating when I heard a message notification on my phone. My helper was around and I informed her to check it for me. She said that it was a message confirming that I have been sent the money from GiveDirectly. I felt so happy because I have never received such an amount t of money. I planned on how to spend the money and went to withdraw the following day.

purchasing two goats is the biggest difference in my daily life. This was my main concern and I have always wanted to start this post-rearing project. I depend on small-scale farming and the harvest that I get is only for consumption. I had no extra money to start this project. When I received the transfer from GiveDirectly I felt so happy because I was in a position to buy the goats. When They reproduce in the future I will sell them and purchase a plot. This is my next goat and I wish to fulfill this. I am so grateful for the support because were it not GiveDiretly all this could have taken quite some time to do it.

I spent KES 20,000 0n completing the constriction of the house that I had started building. I spent KES 10,00 on purchasing two goats. This is the best investment since goats reproduce faster. I have always watched to start this project but I did not have the money. I spent KES 4,000 on purchasing sofa set seats and tables. I gave KES 3,000 to my spouse for medication. The remaining amount of money I spent on food and other household items.
