Currently, my life is different from how it was four months ago in that, I managed to do farming and got a bumper harvest. This has saved me a lot because I no longer do the hectic casual jobs that pay very low wages. I usually sell the harvest in order to meet my daily needs. This has also supported my children school fees.

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.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have used the money I received from GiveDirectly to pay for my children's school fees. It's really a good feeling going to school regularly without being sent home for school fees since one is able to understand more on what is being taught. Their performance has improved compared to previous terms.

I expect my life to change in the next six months because from the sales I will have saved enough money to build a kitchen. I badly want to build this kitchen because my children are first approaching the adolescent stage and I don't have an extra room to accommodate them.

My life is currently different from the way it was four months ago in that the hopes I have of receiving money every month from GD gives me the courage to face daily challenges.

Currently, I don't have a stable source of income and I rely on farming only. For the next four months of my life, I expect to have started a small business so that I'm able to get daily income.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have been at peace and I'm no longer worried on how to raise money to meet most of the family's needs. This is not the case anymore because currently, I can use the money I receive from GD to meet the needs.

In the next six months, I expect to have started the business so that I can have a source of income.

Currently, my life is different in that I have a peace of mind since I have been able to invest a lot on applying inputs in my farm such as buying seedling and also hiring workers to assist me in cultivating it with the monthly payments. Therefore I cultivated a large parcel of land hence I am certain that at the end of this rainy season I will be able to get enough food to feed my family and also pay school fees for my children after selling part of the yields.

Having felt the pain of having one meal in a day or not, I have known the importance of tilling my farm. Therefore my new goal in the next four months is to save money which I am planning to use on cultivating my farm for in the long rainy season.

Before Givedirectly came to my village I used to cultivate my farm by hand which was tiresome and as a result, the yields I got was little to sustain my family hence at times we would have a meal for the whole day. However, the biggest difference in my daily life is that I have invested a lot on applying inputs in my farm such as buying seedling and also hiring workers to assist me in cultivating it with the monthly payments. Therefore I have been able to cultivate a large parcel of land hence I am certain that at the end of this rainy season I will be able to get enough food to feed my family and also pay school fees for my children after selling part of the yields..

I expect in the next four months to have saved enough money and use it on cultivating my farm for in the long rain season. Having applied the right resources in my farm I believe I will have good yields and thereafter; I would sell part of the output to pay school fees for my children and also have enough food to feed on.

My family is able to feed comfortably, apart from paying their school fees in an easier manner than how I have been doing in the past.

I want to start a small scale business very soon if at all the small savings will be enough for me.

I always have confidence in meeting my financial expenses because I am so sure of getting money from the organization every month. I do not fear taking small loans from my friends because I am sure of repaying.

I am planning to start a small scale business which I am sure will be generating some small income for me, so at the end of the day I will have money to keep me going.

My new goal is to revive my business. I plan on venturing into a small business of selling things like sugar in our village so as to get money that I can help in taking care of my needs.

My life is currently different from how it would have been if I never received the transfer in that, I managed to keep 1000KES as savings in our Rosca and because of this I was allowed to take 3000KES as loan that we are currently using for our upkeep.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that, I will have managed to prepared my parcel of land hence more food will be available in my house for the whole family.

The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving the amount is that I am hopeful of my furure plans through our current savings group because of the assuarance of the monthly pay.
