The next four months as a parent is to ensure that my children have their school fees settled and their upkeep is taken care of. This is the joy of every parent and through this, I get my fulfillment.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I have been able to purchase goats to rear. This was my dream but I did not have enough resources to realize it. Besides the rearing of goats, I have also settled my children's school fees comfortably unlike before when they had to be sent home this disrupted their sessions and caused a drop in their academic performance.

In the next six months, my prayer is to increase the number of goats and also settle my children's school fees. That way I will be the happiest parent alive.

My life is different in the last four months in that I was able to get quality medication courtesy of GD transfers. I had an accident and since I could not go to work, I did not have any income to support my life. GD transfers helped me pay for medication and I am getting well fast because I was able to get medication at the right time. If it were not for the transfers, I really don't know how my life would have been by now since I am a widow.

In the four months, I wish to buy building materials such as iron sheets, nails and timber. I plan to use the materials to build a rental house where I can earn extra income to help me meet all my needs in time and give my children the best in life.

The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving these transfers is that I have been able to clear school fees arrears for my children in school. This is a rare case in my life since I do not have a good income to help me meet all my needs in time. I have a minimal income from my work as a domestic worker which is majorly for household basic needs. I have been majorly focusing the transfers on school fees which have reduced my financial burden.

I expect my life to change in the six months in that I will have managed to make a step towards building some rental houses in my compound. I am determined to save the money so that I can achieve the goal and boost my financial life.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because, l am eating a well balanced diet as compared to before when I depending on one type of food. Since I started receiving the money I have never gone to bed without eating anything because, I have created a good customer relationship with my friends who has the shops around, in that I am able to borrow food stuffs from them then pay later.

My new goal is to start saving and spend the savings to buy sheep. I have never own sheep in my life but I have been dreaming to have one it only that I can not afford to have even one, but with the support from give directly I am very determine that I will own a sheep in the near future. I also feel it is a good investment because I may sell then in future my children are joining secondary school, since I do not have stable income .

The biggest difference in my daily life is that, since I started receiving the transfer I am able to put food on the table even if I do not have money, because I am able to walk into a friend's shop and borrow food stuffs, knowing that I will pay at the end of the month without fail.

In the next six months I expect to have started cattle farming as my future investment, atleast to have something that when I have an emergency I can sell and spend the money according to the need.

The easy time I have now in meeting needs and kind of peace I have after doing that warms my heart. The fact that my children can stay in school at the right time always and even get food always is the best feeling and the change I can talk about now that was not there four months ago.

In the next four months, I want to connect my house to electric power so that I start poultry keeping that will help me raise some money to support my family more comfortably. Poultry keeping is easy to do and requires less energy and resources. You can never miss its market too.

When you get out to look for a job, your prayer is always that you get paid on time. Unfortunately, this has never worked for me. I am always paid late when I take these odd jobs, but I do not have an option but continue doing them, even though I am always behind schedule in everything that requires money, like paying school fees for my children, buying food and other basics needs. When I started receiving money from GiveDirectly, I felt so happy. Currently, I am glad I am on time when it comes to meeting needs. I pay school fees on time, buy food on time, or even settling debts. My children are in school and able to find food always. This is the daily difference in my current life. Thanks to GiveDirectly.

I am not sure what is in store for me in the next six months. I can only wait as I continue receiving these transfers which I will use most part of it on the poultry keeping project. These hopefully will make me some profits that will enable me to sustain my family more comfortably.

My life is currently differrent from the way it was four months in that I do not have to rely fully on my business for meeting my needs thus the business can now do better.

For the next four months of my life, I have an additional goal of starting up a poultry project for commercial purposes o that I can have an additional source of income.

The biggest difference in kmy daily life n the last four months preceding the current transfers is thta I'm at peace because I can easily meet my needs without borrowing.

In the next six months, I expect to have started the poultry project for commercial purpose.

My new goal is to start poultry farming using the transfers I will be getting from Give Directly. This will be an extra source of income to support my family.

My life is currently different from how it would have been without the transfers because withe the maize that I bought,my daily household budget has been great reduced and I can spend the little money I earn on better food for my family.

In the next six months,I expect to be my own boss by having my own business,currently,I am working in someone else shop and I would like manage my own farm.

The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving payments is that I can easily take care of my problems such as buying food and other household requirements.
