I spent my third transfer on 2 heifers and 1 bull (36,000 KES) .Consequently, I prepared 1 acre piece of land this time round as different from my former 0.5 acres before I received GD support. I also bought fishing nets (5,000 KES) and hired a fishing boat that I use for fishing and income generation.

With my second transfer, I bought iron-sheets, a cow, a mattress, and a solar panel. I also bought my mother a solar panel, bought clothes for my children and gave my wife some amount for shopping of household items. I also spent some little amount on buying food.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I moved a step closer to owning my own home since I was able to buy construction materials (iron-sheets). Materials have always been the hindrance to me owning my own home from my father's compound because my worry was how I would manage to construct a descent house. Owning a home will help me be more independent and I would be able to make some important decisions independently such as where to plant tree and start making my home look presentable early enough.

I spent my first transfer on paying school fees for my child who is in nursery school 500 KES. I also bought a cupboard 7000 KES and 25 tins of maize for my family's consumption 2500 KES

The moment I received my first transfer,I was overwhelmed with joy like group of bees setting in a beehive since I have never received a lump-sum amount of money as this in my whole life as a beneficiary . I am thankful to GiveDirectly as this was a magical moment indeed.
