"daily cow"

"The biggest difference is that I am now hopeful of living in my own home. Through the transfers I got from Give Directly I have already bought the necessary building materials. Initially, I only used to depend on casual jobs. The money I got from these jobs was enough to buy basic needs. I used to save nothing towards this goal therefore there were slim chances of establishing my home. I am happy that soon I will be living with my family in our own homestead. Besides that, I have also paid school fees for all my children and none of them will be sent home for school fees like they used to before."

"house"

"Longing for a new iron sheet house for the longest time was my biggest lower point in life . I actually succeeded to renovate the roof of my two houses that is my children's and our main house using the transfer from GiveDirectly. This has made my life to be totally different considering the fact that the previous one had a leaking roof. I had no hopes of constructing them since the little amount of money we were earning was majorly spent on paying school fees for my children and meeting their basic needs. I am now happy since we sleep under a new iron-roofed house hence mostly my children no longer worry of their books being rained on or staying in a wet house full of water and mud."

"The moment I received my transfers I felt so happy and great. I knew my dream was finally going to be accomplished."

"In the next six months, I have great expectations to have established the cybercafe business. Currently, I have a field of tomatoes which I will be harvesting in the next two months and out of that I will add to my savings and start the establishment of the small business I was planning to."

"My life is different from how it was before since I have been able to build a house for my children. Due to this, they will no longer share one sleeping place as brothers and sisters which made me worried that they might commit incest since they are growing up with a lot of curiosity in them .I have been able to pay part of the school fees for my children early enough with the profits from the charcoal business that I started with the transfer. Therefore, I am now glad that they will continue with their studies without any interruptions as long as the business still operates."

"I expect to have saved enough in the merry go round group that we have started in our village to enable me to fence my compound to look decent and also to buy some goats."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have saved enough in the merry go round group and also from the small business that I currently run to enable me to buy a piece of land and start horticulture farming."

"In the next six months l expect to have saved and bought a cow as my long term investment. The will help me if future when I have emergency. "
