"I spent my second transfer on constructing a pit latrine which I had lacked for so long. I felt some risk of falling a victim of cholera due to continuous use of bushes as latrines since all the feces would be washed and drained into the nearby stream where we fetched water for home consumption. The remaining portion of this transfer helped me boost my tailoring business which had collapsed due to shortage of operational funds."

"I spent my second transfer on enrolling my daughter for a diploma in a college. She had done so well in her secondary school but could not get the funds to register for her her dream course. This really affected her since all her classmates had already gotten opportunities in various colleges. We thank GiveDirectly for the timely support that restored hopes in the life of the young girl. Besides that, I had longed for a water pump to aid my farming activities. Relying on others' pumps caused me a lot of delays that always resulted in very poor yields. "

"I spent 45000 KES from my second transfer on plastering my entire house, which consumed a total of 20 bags of cement; with an aim of making it stronger and beautiful, since it was so tedious and expensive to repair the walls so frequently when they got eroded by rain water. I then used the rest on buying foodstuffs for my family as we did not have enough food in the house."
