I do not have seats in my house. I always feel ashamed every time I get a visitor, I am forced to go beg for seats from my neighbours Due to this situation, my new goal for my life for the next four months is to buy seats. I am very optimistic because I believe in Give Directly that they will give us money till the time the promised. This has enabled me to plan on how to achieve my dreams.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have a lot of peace in my life because I am able to pay school fees for my children without difficulty. I majorly use the money I get from Give Directly to pay school fees for my children. I am happy they no longer come home due to fee balances Initially, they were the talk of the community, every time children were sent home for fee balance, they could not miss. I used to be stressed up due to this because I had no solution to this before. I want to thank Give Directly for financial assistance children are performing well and also we are staying a happy life as a family.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I would be eating using decent plates and also I won't beg anymore. Currently, we are using old plastic plates, whenever I receive visitors I am forced to go borrow from my neighbours. I feel ashamed of this but I am very optimistic that I will one day eat in decent utensils.

My life is currently different from the way it was four months ago because my children have been able to attend all the school lessons. This is because I have been able to pay for the school fee on time through the help of the GD transfers.

I do not have chairs instead we normally sit on the ground. Therefore, for the next four months of my life, I have an additional goal to save some of the coming transfers so that I can use them to purchase seats.

I have been using the transfers to pay for my children's school fee for my child who is in secondary school every month. This has enabled me to pay for the fee on time thus my children haven't been sent back home for school in a long time.

The current house I have is old. The better part of the roof is infested by termites and I'm afraid it might fall on us at any time. I have the plans of saving some of the coming transfers so that I can use them to purchase the building materials which I'll require while constructing a new house. I'm hopeful that in the next six months I'll have raised a good sum of money for purchasing the building materials.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because my son was successfully able to join college. My pride as a parent overtook my worries when he managed to join. I am at peace now and do not get scared of him joining wrong peer groups in the village. Currently, Incase statistics are taken for those parents who managed to take their children to college, I am proud I will be counted.

I am still planning to continue paying collage fee for my son, since that is the biggest challenge that I have, unfortunately I still do not have any new or additional goal.

The biggest difference in my life is seeing my son able to join college. This is because of the peace of mind I am enjoying now. I was a very worried parent on how I was going to work miracles and the get the money to enable my son to join college. Thanks to GiveDirectly this became possible through them. The fact that I am able to keep him in school also warms my heart. This happens because through the transfers I receive on a monthly basis.

In the next six months, l expect to have started saving some money to buy furniture since I do not have any comfortable seats in the house. I have very old plastic chairs which are not even enough being that I have a large family.

Previously I used to cook in my house and the exposure to smoke mostly at night was a health hazard since this house wasn't well ventilated. Privacy was difficult to maintain because the house was squeezed and having to stay with my grown-up daughter it was uncomfortable. My life is currently different in that I built a kitchen which I am using to cook in and my children to sleep on which has given them ample space to carryout their personal activities.

My new goal for the next four months is to save and use the savings on cementing my house so that I wouldn't have to incur frequent expenses of smearing the mud house which I am staying in at the moment.

Previously, I didn't have chairs hence when I had visitors I would walk around the village borrowing seats and at times some of my neighbours would mock me for that. The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have bought decent seats and now I am able to host my visitors with ease and also having family diners together hence it has enhanced togetherness morer.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I shall have saved enough money which will necessitate the cementing of my mud house. With the cemented house I will be able to stay in a clean environment and save up money which I incur to maintain it after every three months on other developmental projects.

My life is currently different from the way it was four months ago is that I no longer ask my spouse for money which could bring a lot of conflict between us.

For the next four months of my life, I have an addition of constructing a new kitchen because the previous kitchen fell and currently I cook in the main house which is not healthy considering the amount of smoke emitted while cooking with firewood.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have been able to meet my household needs with a lot of ease. This has given a lot of peace.

In the next six months, I expect to have saved enough money for constructing a new house because the current house is too small to fit my family.

I currently do not have any new goal in my life so far.

I have faith in my life my life will be better, we currently eat well in my family and I was able to pay school fees without my daughter staying home for long as others are studying.

I would want to buy furniture so that my house will look smart and planning to renovate my house

I used to struggle to meet my family financial demands since both my husband and I do not have a stable source of income but since I started receiving this transfer, I have courage that my life will be better and we shall never lack.
