What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on building a 3 room tin roofed house for 47,000 KES since housing was a priority as we used to stay in a grass-thatched house that leaked and whenever it rained we had to pack our few belongings in one corner of the house.

When I received my second transfer, I spent on 3 cows. The cows are soon giving birth to calves and I am very motivated to pursue my dream of being a livestock farmer.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am happily pursuing my dream of being a livestock farmer. I love cows and through Give Directly, I acquired them and therefore my day is no longer boring as opposed to before since I find myself committed most of the time.
