"My husband and I were charcoal burners which is the main source of income in our neighborhood and due to depletion of trees,we were not able to earn enough money to support our family.We had a traditional bed which I slept with my husband while our kids slept on the floor. After receiving the transfers,I spend 20000 KES to pay school fees for our five kids, 16000 KES to buy bed and mattress,15000 KES to buy a cow and the balance to buy food and other basic needs. I thank GiveDirectly for making this happen."
