"I used approximately KES 40000 to build a whole new house. For a long time I had the desire of building a better house of my own having been left behind by my children who were now grown ups to start their own families. I lived in a very small grass thatched house and my desire had always to build a bigger house that was iron roofed. With this money I was able to make my dream a reality and I now have a bigger and better iron roofed house with a cemented floor. I used another KES 10000 to seek medical attention having had one of my legs paralyzed for over a year. At least I was able to pay for X ray and waiting upon the Lord for the results and healing in the end. The remaining amount of approximately KES 5000 was used to cater for transport, buying food and clothes for myself. I feel so much indebted to GiveDirectly for the support they gave me."
