Currently, I have peace of mind since I no longer frequent the hospital due to stress. Before, I was overwhelmed with financial problems despite the efforts I had put in place to resolve them. For instance, my business was on the verge of collapsing. Therefore, it was hard to cater to my family's basic needs. I am thankful for GiveDirectly's support which has greatly made a positive impact on my entire family as I am able to direct these transfers where there is an occurrence of financial loopholes.

I have no new goal for the next four months because I wish to complete the dream of constructing my new house once and for all. So that I can focus my income on bettering the life of my family

Previously, my business wasn't making much and it was on the verge of collapsing. Therefore, it was hard to cater to my family's basic needs and save as well for the construction of a new house. We have been staying in a squeezed old shanty with cracked walls since that's where we can afford. Since I started receiving these transfers, I have used part of it to buy building materials such as iron sheets which I intend to use in building my own house. The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am hopeful that the construction of my new house will be a stepping stone to comfort and happiness. Then focus my income on other things like my children's education to better the life of my family.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that, I shall have bought the required building materials which will facilitate the construction of my new house. When this dream would have actualized I will be profoundly happy.

Currently, my life is different in that I have managed to buy building materials such as 10 pieces of iron sheets and when I shall have bought the required number, I intend to build a new house for my family. Eventually, I want to move away from the small house that can barely accommodate all of us, especially at night. I had always wanted to have such a house but then due to limited finances, it has always remained to be a far-fetched dream that could have never been realized was it not for the unconditional cash transfers from Give Directly.

My new goal in the next four is to save part of the transfer in our merry go round that we had formed since we started receiving this money. With the savings, I am planning to buy a sheep and expand my herd of livestock. I believe having these herds is a guaranteed asset in the future because it values appreciates on a daily basis.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I have bought two goats and now one amongst them has already reproduced. I am hopeful that when this herd will have increased in number, I can sell some of them to make an extra source of income and cater for any emergency that might crop up when I am not financially strong to handle them. I know I will not beg nor borrow anymore.

Sometimes back, it appeared to me that the journey to building of a new house could take long and was nothing bit a dream, but now the time has reached and it will be a reality. I have bought enough materials required for the work and expect to have a new house soon. I live a very comfortable life compared to past life. I can eat and do my things as planned.

My goal is to build a new house, and in four months time, my new house will be in place. I also intend to buy more goats to increase my livestock. In some years, I will start selling the stock to generate more income for saving to my grand children.

The biggest difference in my life is that initially, I could desire to build an iron roofed house but I did not have any ability but now I am sure that, very soon, new house will be installed. I also have some goats but in the past, there was no livestock, this I have done as an investment for my grand children future.

In the next six months, I expect to enlarge my business. By doing so, I will be able of generating more income. I also plan to shall have completed my house by doing everything.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that I eat well and I am not stressed thinking of where to get money since I have my own business that I started using the transfer.

My new goal is to buy sheep which I can easily resell in case of emergencies.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I am more energetic because I eat well unlike before where I could not manage to have a balanced diet after work in the farm.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have cattle such as a goat and a hen which I can sell anytime to buy food and take care of my other needs too.

I do not have any new goal.

I have always had good meals since I started receiving this transfer and my life has changed generally.

I would want to buy a cow and even plaster my house so that it may look presentable.

I have been struggling with disease in my life and I have not been having good meals so my body has been growing weary but since I started receiving this transfer, I have been eating good food and my body is growing stronger each day.
