I don't have any new goals because the one I had in mind was to build rental stalls. I am so happy that this was a success and as of now, I have three tenants. Every month I have been collecting rent which has now been my main source of income. I have now been able to pay school fees for my children without straining like before.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well by offering us unconditional cash transfers. This empowered each one of us to construct decent houses, own livestock, and start-up businesses. Also, the informative teachings from the officers about the security of our money enlighten us and there were no cases of theft at all. Therefore I do not see any part that GiveDirectly failed, all went well

I spent part of my second transfer on constructing some rental stalls. The building materials that I bought were the iron sheets and bags of cement which cost around KES 20000. I also bought four goats at a total of KES 16000. These will now be the living assets that I can rely on at any time. Currently, two have started reproducing which is an assurance that they will increase in number within a short period. I will therefore be able to sell some and cater to any household needs that arise. With the remaining amount money, I bought foodstuff for my family like maize flour, vegetables, and cereals. Nowadays, my children no longer skip meals like before.

It was around 5 am when I had already wake up busy doing my casual job of tapping coconut wine. My neighbor approached me and told me that he had received the transfer. I decided to check my phone and I was amazed to realize that I had received my transfer. I felt very happy for receiving my transfer and I completed my work before joining the rest of my family members to celebrate receiving the transfer.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I can meet the basic needs of the family without struggling after acquiring adequate food stock. Previously, I was sweating a lot to providing food for the family. This is because I had an accident falling from the top of a coconut tree 3 years ago that rendered me unable to perform more laborious jobs. In addition, I can earn some extra income from the rental shops that I renovated with the help of the transfer.

I spent KES 20,000 to repair my 3 small rental shops by putting up new roofs, they were leaking and empty without tenants due to the poor conditions. Currently, they are fully occupied after the renovation and I am earning an income of KES. 2,100 per month. Also, I spent KES 14,000 to purchase enough food stock that is sufficient to sustain my family 6 for the remaining part of the year. This is because we are experiencing drought and famine in our area and it has been long since we had harvest from our farms. I also bought one goat a future investment for the family. I save the remaining amount to support me in case of any emergency. I am also planning to spent my second transfer empower my wife by enrolling her in a beauty college as well as start a saloon business for her.
