My new goal for the next four months is to start beans business. I have realised in my area, very few people sell beans and they sell it at a high cost. I would also want to take advantage of the unsaturated market so that I can benefit myself from the profits. If all goes well, I may be able to venture into the business too as a way of boosting my income.

I have always depended on farming as my main source of income. This is because I have never had the resources to start a business nor get well educated to get a good job. In the previous years, I have not managed to get a good harvest because I have always used the same plots over the years. I have only been using cow dung as a way of boosting the soil fertility but it has not been effective. When I started getting my transfers, I decided to use part of it to buy fertilizers and hybrid seeds and I have to admit there is a big difference in my life since then. My harvest has increased from the 3 sacks I used to get to 7 sacks now. This has helped me in feeding my family because we rarely run out of what to eat in the house. When I am in a financial crisis, I am able to sell some to raise money for the issue.

My life will be different in the next six months in that I will have enough food. This is because I am investing more in my farming activity as a way of ensuring food security for my family. I will still continue buying farm inputs so that I may continue getting a good harvest which has really brought a lot of difference in my life because I only budget for food on a monthly basis unlike before. At the end of this year's long rains season, I know I will get a good harvest which I will sell some to raise some money to start the business. I know at the end of the year, I will never be the same as I have always been in the past years.

Currently, I am healthy with good health since I was able to access three meals a day without borrowing anyone in my village. I am thankful to GiveDirectly for giving me a smile on my face again. I can not imagine the troubles I would have undergone after having seven operations and without money to sustain my basic needs.

My new goal in life for the next four months is to ensure that I take subsistence farming more seriously. Currently, I have employed modern mechanisms in preparing my parcel of lands but there are a few requirements that I am lacking like fertilizers that I intend to buy which will increase my yield production at the end of this rainy season.

The biggest difference in my life in the last four months is that I feel so healthy and happy. I have been able to afford balanced diet meals despite having seven surgeries which do not warrant me to do heavy-duty jobs. I now feel like I am motivated to go on with life like my fellow village members who are living happily. I have also managed to plant on time buying hybrid seeds that will ensure and increased farm production to meet my family's food needs.

My life will have changed in the next six months because I anticipate abundant yields from my farm after employing modern mechanisms in preparing my parcel of on time. This will assure me of food security in my household as compared to the previous years.

Currently, the biggest difference in my life in the last four months is that I feel so healthy and happy. I have been able to afford balance diet meals and dress nicely while going to church despite having seven surgeries. Therefore these transfers have really motivated me on a day to day basis as I now feel like going on with life like my fellow village members who are living happily.

My new goal in the next four months is to buy cereal at a wholesale price during the harvesting seasons. I will store them then I shall sell later when the demand is high at a higher price to make an extra income.

The biggest difference in my daily life is to focus more on rearing poultry purposely for commercial reasons. I have been able to buy feeds on time which has eased my operations in keeping them in the last four months. After surgery I underwent, I no longer do strenuous duties like going to the farm. I am passionate about this activity since it keeps me busy the entire day and being the only activity I can do without straining following my condition.

I expect my life shall have changed in the next six months in that I will have been being able to save money. This money will necessitate me to buy cereal at a wholesale price during the harvesting seasons and store where I shall sell later when the demand is high at a higher price to make an extra income.

My life is currently different than it was four months ago because I can manage to buy food to take all the three meals a day. From the monthly transfers, I will be able to buy food thus not missing any meal. I used to skip meals in the past because I lacked money to buy food. I also managed to buy some chicken and built a poultry house to keep. At the moment, I can sell some eggs and chicken to get an additional income.

The new goal I have in life for the next four months is to buy and own a goat. This to me is an investment which will help me in future should the transfers come to an end. In case of an emergency that requires urgent funds, I will consider selling it or its kids to assist me when in such need.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I am assured of food security in the house. From the transfers, I can always manage to buy all the type of food I need for my nutritional needs. This will help improve my health condition which had deteriorated due to a high number of operations I underwent.

I expect my life to be more secured in the next six months since I will buy and fix a steel door in my main house. I currently have a wooden door which is very weak thus I am always afraid that someone can easily break it and attack us.

My life is currently different from the way it was four months ago in that I feel healthy and happy because of the comfort that came with money after having an operation. This is because I no longer do strainous work thus the wound has enough time to heal. I also afford a balnced diet too.

In the next four months of my life, I have a goal of having a lot of poultry for rearing since the only activity I can do without straining following my condition.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I feel so healthy and happy after an operation I went through because I no longer do stanous chores because I'm able to pay people to work on my farm. At the same time, I've been able to afford a balanced diet, this has saved me a lot.

In the next six months, I expect to have sold enough poultry to raise money for purchasing sheep and goats for rearing.

I do not have any new goal because I have not achieved my previous goals yet, though I am still saving to achieve my goal of rearing chicken in large scale.

We are now eating well because we can now afford three meals in a day unlike before when we could do without at times.I am at peace because I am sure every month I will be earning some money to enable me budget.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will be having a sustainable chicken business hence I will earn more income to support my family.

I used to have many debts before I started receiving this transfer, when I received my first and second transfer I cleared all my debts I am now happy I do not borrow food like before but I do budget with the little I get from GD.I really have a lot of peace because I am sure of monthly income from GD that enables me support my family with ease.
