A lot has been happening in my life but the fact that I now have a spacious house makes the biggest difference in my life. Previously, I used to stay in a bad condition house which was also very small therefore some of my children had to stay at their friend's house. Since I solely depended on casual jobs and the little I could earn was not even enough to renovate my house. After getting the transfers I had to prioritize the same. I now feel complete and proud like the rest courtesy of GiveDictly. Aso through the dairy cow, I have started getting plenty of milk and my children are now benefiting. Taking the daily milk has made them healthier and with the remaining liters, I have been selling them to my neighbors and getting an income through them.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well by sending us the money directly into our Mpesa accounts. This was a nice initiate because every house had its own needs and therefore sending us the money made it easier for us. Also, the money was unconditional and we all had the opportunity to according to our heart desires. I do not see ant the sector that GiveDirectly failed us.

I spent part of my second transfer on buying some building poles, threads, timber, nails, and several pieces of iron sheets. This was purposely for the construction of a more house becasue was old and in a poor state. Also, the mason demanded KES 5000 as his labor charge. Later on, I spent KES 2000 of the transfers on clearing school fees for my children who are in primary schools. With the remaining amount of money, I bought enough food for the family

I heard my phone ringing in the morning, a notification of a message. Since I could not comprehend messages, I called for my helper who informed me that I had received my first transfer. I felt happy the whole of that day and celebrated with my family for the financial support.

The biggest difference in my daily life is owning the livestock. Despite them being valuable assets to us, I could not afford to buy any at my own cost. I am now owning a cow and a goat which will reproduce and have many of them. They are a source of wealth and assets to me. I am expecting to sell the offspring to take care of financial needs like raising school fees for my children who are still young.

I spent part of my first transfer on buying livestock which include a cow and a goat that I am currently keeping in my homestead. My expectation is that they will reproduce and increase in number. I can readily sell the offsprings in case of a financial need. I also paid KES 5000 for my children's school fees. They are now comfortably continuing with their studies without interruptions on fees. I also bought new school uniforms for them. I spent the remaining amount to buy daily food and other household items.
