After doing as per what I had planned with the second transfer, I developed another goal which I am fighting for and that is constructing a good house. The one I have is not in good condition that's why I place the construction as my next agenda once I get some money.

Initially I had no job thus my life was very difficult but I thank GiveDirectly for the transfer, it enabled me to get a motorbike which serves me as a source of income. In my opinion, GiveDirectly is faultless organization which needs to be embraced in the society because it came to empower the less advantaged. By doing so, we are now able to stand and fight for a living since we got the starting point from GiveDirectly. Losha was jobless but now am job No fault

After withdrawing the money, I used KES 25000.00 to buy a second hand motorbike that will serve me as a source of income by ferrying people from one place to another. Initially I using friends' motorbikes to get something to take home which was challenging at some time. I also bought a bed and a mattress for KES 13000.00, 2 goats for KES 6000.00 and used the remaining for sustaining my family.

It was about 10:30 am when I was on my farm digging awaiting for the long rain to commence, I always plant maize for my family consumption. I heard a message notifications on my phone and upon checking I realized that it was the transfer GiveDirectly promised due to send us during enrollment. I felt very happy for receiving my transfer, I had to complete what I was doing then I went home to inform my wife. She was overwhelming with joy for the good news. We spent the whole day planning on how best to use our transfer before withdrawing it the next day.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am currently living a better life after starting goats rearing a reliable source of livelihood for the family. This is my future investment since I will be able to sell some to cater for any financial emergency that might arise. Previously, I was struggling to meet the needs of my family like food by doing temporary casual activities which earns me low income. I had nothing to depend on whenever I face any challenge like sickness something that make our lives miserable.

I spent KES 15,000 to start a goats rearing by purchasing 5 goats this is a reliable source of income for the family. This activity is very profitable since they normally give birth two times a year. I will be able to sale some whenever I encounter any financial challenge in my life. I also spend KES 13,000 to purchase proper modern beddings for the family, I acquired a mattress and a modern bed. Previously, I was using traditional tread bed which spoils more often something that requires maintenance very often which is relatively costly. Similarly, I was using sacks as beddings which was not comfortable to sleep on, this brought a lot of embarrassment particularly when I receive important visitors. I also used KES 7000 to educate my sister who was joining a tailoring college, she had completed lower school but she lacked the finances to further her studies. I saved the remaining amount awaiting for the second transfer to acquire a motorbike to start a taxi work as a part-time taxi driver.
