My new goal is to build a bigger poultry house. Currently, I have a small poultry house and since the number of chicken is increasing at a good rate, there has been a need to build a bigger house. This will also allow me to continually expand my poultry project.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am a happy woman after finishing my house by fixing the ceiling board. I was able to save some of the monthly transfers and I was finally able to buy the ceiling boards. I am also able to buy feeds for my chicken using the transfer. Before, I only depended on proceeds from the sale of these products such as eggs, but this was barely enough to feed them. Out of all these, I am able to meet my daily needs such as food and other household items.

My expectation in the near future is to improve my house by expanding it. Before my spouse passed on, he wished to expand the house to accommodate his children and visitors whenever they visited. and I wish to accomplish this. This need came because our current house is quite small and I want to avoid a scenario where I have to take my visitors to a neighbors house whenever they visit. I also wish to also improve my farming practice by planting maize and hopefully they will do well. I want to have enough food and even extra to sell and minimize the amount of money that I spent on food.

My life is currently different because I own livestock that I recently bought using the money I had been saving in a merry go round group. When I received the money in March, I bought heifer that will soon be calving. I will start producing milk in about six months to come. I will be selling the milk and use it to meet my daily needs. The steady income will also enable me to buy farm inputs on time which will revolutionalize how I do my crop farming. In the end, receiving the transfers will have become a channel in which I begin to access financial strength that I never had before. I am hopeful that my life will now change forever. I will no longer live in poverty as it used to be four months ago without any meaningful source of income.

My new goal is to build a store to use it for storing my farm produce and household items. I will do this using the money I get to buy roofing materials and wood. I will then use it to pay for construction labor and have my store completed. This will be a very convenient facility in my household for keeping household items and also farm products,

The biggest difference in my daily is the fact that I did not go hungry during the last drought season that came with famine. Without GIveDirectly, I would have had to sell some of my poultry to use it for food. This would have then reversed the gains I have made in the last few months in poultry keeping. In the end, I would have suffered from famine and lack of food. Having the transfers meant that my poultry would continue to increase in number because I didn't have to dispose of them. I had enough for food and also for poultry feeds. I am a healthy and happy poultry farmer.

I expect my life to have changed because I will be having livestock. The heifer that I recently bought will have calved and this will add to my sources of income. I will be using the money I get from selling milk to meet my daily needs. Furthermore, I will be using the milk money to buy farm inputs in time which will add to my incomes as farming in time is profitable too.

Buying a dairy cow has greatly helped me to meet my family's daily needs using the money I get from selling milk. I bought a very productive cow and from this, I get about 5 liters of milk. I sell apart of it and this is then used to buy food for my family. Four months ago, I used to forgo some meals in a day.

My next goal is to buy a water tank for domestic use. My home is in an area mostly affected by drought. I cannot manage to fetch water every day for my family's use because of my old age. Having a water tank will help me a lot.

Before I received the recent transfer, I used to find so much difficulty in feeding my family. But using the last four months' transfer, I bought a dairy cow and use the money I get from selling the milk on buying food. This has enabled me to feed my family well. I am a happy mother as my children no longer sleep hungry like before.

In the next six months, I will have built a maize store in my compound. I will do this from the money I will be saving from my farm produce and also from the next transfers. This is mainly milk and chicken eggs and meat.

My life is currently different because there is peace and joy and no more stress which was brought up by lack of money.

In the next four months I am planning to buy the water tank for longer water storage and also to put up a grain store.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that these transfers have enabled me to invest in merry go round savings.

I expect to have received the merry go round contribution and bought a water tank and initiated the grain store.

My new plan is to raise livestock.

My life has improved since i now raise poultry.

In the next six months i will have improved my poultry farming.

I am now raising poultry in my home which i bought using GD money.
