I did not have a kitchen i built a kitchen we used to cook in the compound and when it rained we really had problems on where to cook so I built one a bit big and partitioned it one side is their sleeping area and kitchen, I also bought a bed and mattress the ones before were old and worn out. My two daughters are also in high school so I used part of the transfer to pay the school fees arrears that they had in school, mattress. lastly I bought maize to eat in the house.the transfer has really changed the situation at home and I see more smiles in their faces of my children.

I spent my second transfer to pay school fees for my sons in secondary school. I also bought some building materials that I used to construct a kitchen that doubles up as a sleeping room for my children. I thank God and GiveDirectly for the transfers.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that my boys are able to go to school in peace without being sent away for school fees. I am so happy.

I spent my first transfer on a bag of dry corn for consumption (3,500 KES), tractor hire for land preparation (3,000 KES) as well as part Secondary school fee for my 2 children (4,000 KES) to enable them get back to class and learn together with the rest.

The moment when I received my money I almost cried since at that moment we had not eaten for 2 days and were hungry yet I had no money, and also my bulls had died because of drought and I had no way of cultivating my land unless I used my hands but yet when I went to the shamba to dig that morning I almost collapsed due to lack of energy, and had no option but to return home and pray for a miracle. Thank you GD for the miracle of the transfer because we were able to buy food, and I also hired a Tractor that prepared our land on which we planted crops and we hope for a good harvest.
