After accomplishing my main goals of owning a motorbike and starting a small grocery business. I currently have a source of income for the family. I am grateful to have fulfilled all these with my transfer. At the moment, I do not have any new goals I would like to fulfill.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well in sending cash transfers directly to our mobile phones. In addition, every household in our village was enrolled without bias or discrimination. I do not believe that there is something that the organization did not do well.

I spent KES 5,000 to start a small grocery business selling kales, sukuma wiki, and grilling corns at the nearby market center. Also, I am using the motorbike that I bought with my first transfer in vending the vegetables. Moreover, I used KES 1,500 on supporting the education of my sibling by paying part of his school fees. Lastly, there was an extreme famine in our area and I decide to spend all the remaining amount on acquiring sufficient foodstuffs for the family.

It was around 9 AM when I was from the dam and had even started preparing to start doing my daily house chores. Suddenly, I heard my phone ringing. Upon checking, I realized it was Mpesa message from Segovia Technology, I have finally received my first transfer as promised. I was overwhelmed with joy and decided to share the news with my dear spouse. This message really made my day and the Lord continue to bless the entire organization.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now sleeping in a decent house. To me, this is the greatest fulfillment that will forever remain in my heart. The shelter has been my biggest challenge since our old house was in a pathetic state and almost collapsing. It would leak uncontrollably when it rains forcing me to squeeze my items to corners to avoid them being rained on. The harsh weather and cold nights were unbearable. I had no hope of upgrading to a better house since I depend on my Husband's little income( KES 100 in a day) from his motorbike services. His income only catered for our daily food. I am at peace and grateful to GiveDirectly for enabling me to build a new and decent house to live in with my family. I am no longer worried about rains or even other insecurities.

I spent a huge portion of my first transfer in buying twelve pieces of iron sheets KES 7800, poles at KES 5000, nails, and threads for KES 2000. I also gave the mason KES 4000 as his labor charge. I had intended to build a new house because having a look at the previous one, it was in critical condition and very small. With my three family members, it could not fit us. To add to that, I purchased new clothes for my child to at least replace the old ones which were old and torn. With the remaining amount of money, I bought enough food for my family that would sustain us for weeks.
