My new goal for the next four months is to save money and pay school fees for my children so that they will be able to pursue their dream without any interference. Besides that, as we approach the farming season, I am planning to invest in farming so that at the end of the season I can reap as fellow villagers.

Previously, my children used to be sent home for school fees frequently. This really affected their performances but I had no option because my casual job was not generating adequate income. Upon receiving this transfer the biggest difference in my daily life is that I was able to settle the school fees arrears and now my children are confidently going to school with no worries of being sent home for school fees and their performance has improved so well.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I shall have set aside savings to support my children's education. This way I am certain they will have no interference with their studies. I also anticipate to have started farming and the harvest season will be around the corner by then. With the proceeds earned from the sale of farm produce, I can sustain household expenses and develop other projects like poultry keeping.

I don't have a new goal at the moment, I still want to focus on paying school fees for my two children who are in high school. They are very bright students and it wouldn't be fair if I failed them as a parent. This is why I decided to ensure their education came first. I felt venturing into something else could be very risky. At least paying school fees for them will leave me with no worries for the next one year. The peace of mind after settling the fee arrear is immeasurable.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfers is that I am always at peace and less worried. The transfers enabled me to pay school fees for my two children who are in secondary school. This has been the biggest task because I don't have a reliable source of income. When this organization gave me the means to finish this task I felt relieved and happy. To me this is the biggest difference in my life

I expect my life to change in the next six-month in that I will have invested the remaining amount of transfers that I normally get from Give Directly. I know this help won't last forever so I better think of ways I will survive and elevate my living standards after Give Directly has finished their program in this village. I am also tired of borrowing and taking items on credit from my neighbors and the local stores.

My life is currently different from how it was before Give Directly came into my life. Nowadays I am hopeful and more ambitious. I am no hesitant to buy something in installments because I now have the means of paying these items that I wish to buy. As long as something is good and is worth money I negotiate with the seller and we agree on the terms and conditions. This has helped me acquire a lot so far. I like how most of them trust me because I always keep my word since I have a reliable source of income. I am glad that I do not cut trees down to burn charcoal anymore in order to make money but depend on the monthly transfer that I supplement with my business. Life is has become easier since this organization came to my life. I always thank God for bringing this organization to our village

My new goal is to buy decent seats. I have a few that are old and indecent. They are torn and one can fall because the hinges have become weak making them unstable. They are also few such that it can't fit all of my family members. I am planning to buy more seats so that I avoid hiring seats whenever I have more visitors.

The biggest difference in my life in the last four months is that I was able to pay school fees for my four children easily. They have not been sent home lately because of fee arrears. Seeing them going to school and having all the requirements like other children makes me feel happy as a parent since it has always been my biggest worry. I now have ample time to focus on other basic needs such as food and shelter.

My expectation in the next six months is to buy seats. I don't have good seats at the moment which is usually embarrassing. I always postponed buying new ones because I earn very little and I usually prefer catering for the most pressing needs such as food. This will save me from hiring seats every time I have visitors. I also want to invest in farming because I know that this will help me sustain my family well for a long time.

My life is currently different from how it was in that, I can buy whatever I need. I have my own money which I plan and meet my goals. I do not have to bother my husband and my relatives so much like before. Now I can take care of my personal needs and even relieve my husbands from some of the duties. The feeling of being independent and resourceful is the best feeling ever. I thank Give Directly for making me feel this way.

My new goal is to buy a table. I have one which is old beyond repair. I feel that It is not presentable. I will be happy when I finally buy one since I have tried replacing most of the things and having a new table will also make my house look beautiful.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I have a sense of hope in life. I feel I am empowered financially as a woman. I can easily plan ahead because I am sure that GiveDirectly will definitely send the money to my account at the end of the month. I recently bought new beddings for my visitors using the transfers. I used to have old ones that could be embarrassing to give my visitors when they came around but I had no option. Atleast I am not embarrassed nowadays when they come over since I have a new and decent set of beddings to give them. My financial freedom has also made me learn to make decisions and prioritize wisely. For instance, when it comes to managing expenses, I know that I have to take care of school fees for my children first then handle other needs later.

In the next six months, I will have cemented my house. Maintaining a mud-walled house is never easy. The work is usually tedious and time-consuming. I had always wished to have the walls and floor cemented but since I could not afford to buy the materials I had no option but to persevere. I am happy my dream will finally come true very soon

My children have been sleeping on a mat hence having discomfort while sleeping at night which at times affects their productivities in their daily activities. Currently, my life is a different as I am happy that I have bought a mattress of them so they have been having a peaceful and healthy sleep .

My children have always been sent home for school fees most often due to school arrears. Therefore in the next four months, my new goal is to save money for my children's education so that they will be able to go to school smoothly.

Before these transfers were sent by GiveDirectly, My small business which was almost collapsing due to lack of money to stock it which made me devastated since I didn't know how I would take care of my household expenses. Therefore the biggest difference in my daily life is that my business has expanded since I have been able to use these monthly payments on stocking it hence the profits of my business has doubled; as my customers are able to get their preferred items. Therefore I can now cater for my household expenditures most efficiently unlike before .

With these monthly payments, I expect in the next six months to shall have expanded my business hence I am motivated to continue saving these payments and stock my business since I believe out of the double profits I will be able to support my family's need .

I am planning to buy a water tank as well as plaster the wall and floor of my house.

The difference is I eat well without skipping a meal. This has made me healthy and happy.

I expect to be healthy and peaceful. I also expect to have plastered the walls and floor my house.

The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving payments is I am able to feed well. I am more healthy.
