My life is different than how it would have been if I never received the transfers in that I was able to plough my farm and buy seeds. This is my dream come true because I was able to plant at the right season. I used to delay in ploughing the farm because I didn't had the money. Planting late in our area result I poor harvesting. This means we would struggle to get food through out that season. I was not able to buy quality seeds. Whenever I plough a small piece of land the seeds that I used to plant was not certified. This also contributed to low harvest. When I received the second transfer I decided to plough my farm at the right season. I bought the certified and quality seeds. I am so happy because this time I am expecting a good harvest. I will not struggle to get food and other household items. I am so happy because GiveDirectly has enabled me to start well. I will ensure that every season I do the planting without delaying.

In my opinion GiveDirectly does well by giving money to the poor in the community to build better houses. I do not find anything that GiveDirectly did not do well.

I spent part of the money I received from GiveDirectly to purchased a goat. This is a good investment since goats reproduce twice per year and it really helps whenever there is an emergency. I bought some materials and build a goats house. This is where they will stay. I used some amount to ploughed my farm and bought some seeds. I am so grateful because were it not GiveDirectly this could not have been possible. The rest of the money I bought food and clothes.

I was at home when I saw a message notification that I had received Ksh 55000 from GiveDirectly, I immediately called my husband to inform him of this good new development, he too was happy and grateful, we knew the money will help us improve our standards of living.

The biggest difference is that all this year's I had wished for a good sofa set seats to no avail because of financial constraints, I had kids in school and the seats were a list of my priority, when I received my transfer I knew that this was the perfect time to buy new seats and paint my roof to bring in a new look in my home, I thank the organization for the support because it has improved my life tremendously.

When I received the second transfer I used it to paint my roof which was a bit old to change the look of my house, on top of that I upgraded the seats in my house by buying a sofa set, I am so grateful for the support.
