Currently, my life is totally changed as I have a paying day job, a business in terms of poultry rearing and the transfers that help in the generation of income for the family. We can access cash easily and we hardly depend on anyone for financial support anymore. I have acquired a lot of things using transfers like buying household items like sofa seats to furnish our house which now looks beautiful. We can get food easily on a daily basis which was a challenge when I only had my day job.

I expect to save and buy more poultry enlarge the project so that the income that comes from it can be so tangible enough to help in shaping our lives in a different direction.

The biggest difference in my daily life is the fact that I have extra money coming in from GD beside my normal salary and this helps as I can dedicate my savings and the salary to other bigger or long term projects as I use the transfer on daily provisions of my family. I have been able to have a constant flow of money and this has made it easier to attend to all my responsibilities with a lot of ease. A long term project that this bore was setting up a poultry rearing to help in generation of income for the family and even the nourishment of our healths.

At the end of the six months, I shall have expanded poultry rearing to large scale by buying more poultry. I wish to also buy livestock that by that time shall have blossomed to a business. With the livestock, I believe my family will be more secure financially. By leasing more farms, we shall have ventured into large scale farming which will bring forth more harvest which we can sell to generate income for my family. By the end of these few months, I will be a proud full-time farmer.

The difference in my life in that last four months is that I have never lacked food in my house. Before the transfers, we used to struggle with my mother to feed the family since we all depended on a small income from casual work. We would strain to ensure food is on the table. GD transfers changed our story. We have always had enough in the house to eat and this is a big improvement in our lives.

In the next four months, I wish to start a poultry project. This will help me have an economic engagement and income to sustain all my needs and that of the family. I would not want to struggle as I did before the transfers.

The biggest difference in my life since I started receiving these transfers is that I have my own livestock. I have always desired to own any kind of livestock like my peers in the village but due to the low income from casual work, I have not been able to have one. With GD transfers, I have been saving part of my monthly and as at now, I have my own two goats. This is an investment whose value increases on a daily basis. Thanks to GD for changing my life.

My life will change in the next six months in that I will be having my own cow. I plan to sell the goat when I have enough money to top up and buy a cow. When I have a cow, I know I can handle any financial emergency without any difficulty by selling the cow.

My life is currently different than it was four months ago in that I no longer struggle as I could before. I always receive the monthly transfers which I have been using to meet the basic needs of my family. In addition, I can always save and invest my wages on other income generating activities which I would have not done, should I not be enrolled in the GiveDirectly's program.

In the next four months, my new goal is to buy a goat which I am planning to keep and sell later in case I have an emergency. I hope that it will reproduce and make the number grow thus I shall have more goats for my household's use in the future. I am also planning to expand my house which I feel is very small now that I am a newly married man.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is receiving the monthly income. The transfers have made my life easy since I am always able to plan well and budget with my transfers. I have been able to buy food for my members comfortably as opposed to the time when I was not enrolled in the program.

In the next six months, I expect to buy and keep my own cow. From it, I shall be able to obtain milk for my household at no cost. Owning a cow in my village is considered a privilege since everyone who owns a cow is often treated with a lot of dignity. In my community, cows are highly regarded as symbols of wealth.

These transfers gave me the confidence to get married because I know I am now able to take care of my wife and family.

I am currently saving part of my transfers which I am planning to use to start a poultry farming project soon.

I entirely depend on casual jobs which are very irregular nowadays, but with these transfers, I find it easier taking care of my family's needs.

I recently got married and I hope that in the next six months,I will have saved enough money from my poultry business and the casual jobs that I do to enable me visit my in-laws for an introduction.

My new goal is to save part of the monthly transfers so that I can buy a cow that will remind me of Give Directly even when the program is over.

My life is currently different from how it would have been because I have an extra source of income which allows me to work more on my farm than I do on others' farms for money.Now I have more time to work on my own projects like farming which will ensure more produce for my family.

In the next six months,I expect to have helped my grandmother expand her business so that we have more source of income which will help lower our budgeting problems.This will improve our living standards as we will be able to afford better quality foods and medical care.

The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving payments is that budgeting has become easier and we rarely go hungry due to lack of food.
