The biggest difference in my life is that I am happy because I was able to lease half an acre of land and I also bought the three goats. You see, I have a child and we stay at my parents'. I bought the goats with land as the end-plan in mind. The goats will reproduce and with time I will have more for sale then accumulate the cash to buy land so that my child and I will have our own space and property. This is my plan and I am happy about it.

I see my life progressing in the next few months. I will be having my own farm produce - potatoes. Once I get the revenue from the first produce, I will plough it back: lease more space, plant more crops, get a more bumper harvest and finally get more income from its sale. Since the goats are pregnant (2 of the 3), in the next six months they will have reproduced and given me more. I am really happy about this. My life will change in a good way and I will be economically better than before.

My life is currently so different. Things would have been tough for me had I not received Give Directly transfer. I used to go to casual work to get basic things such as toiletries and food but now I have funds and I do not need to do casual work. I am free to do my own and I am happy and so grateful, thank you. We even have another house that was built using the transfer still. Initially, we were all living in one small house yet we are a big family but now we are comfortable as a household because we have enough space for us. We also have a cow that my mother bought using her transfer. We used to buy milk daily but now the cow is about to give birth and give us milk and we won't be buying it any more. We are happier and more peaceful as a household courtesy of Give Directly.

I never had thoughts of purchasing land because even if I had such, there was no way of executing it due to lack of funds. I am now optimistic of my new goal to acquire a piece of land and am so grateful that Give Directly have really helped us. Our lives will progress and become better than before.
