I do not have any new goal now but rather to buy more avocadoes seedling to plant on another piece of my land. This will increase the production in long run.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I was in a position to buy the fertilizers to use on my farm. I started a project of planting avocados trees on my farm. The production before was not good because I did not have money to buy the fertilizers and chemical that was required. Currently, I have been in a position to buy the required fertilizers and the production is much higher as compared to previous seasons. I am also in a position to pay workers who cultivated by the farm. Before I could do the cultivated alone with my family members and this was not efficient enough. I am so happy because I have a good production and I get money from the sales of the avocadoes in the market.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I would be in a position to transport my produce to the market on time without passing through the hands of the brokers which buy at a very lower price.

My new goal is to use the money I will be getting on buying more seedlings for my Avocado farm. I intend to increase another one acre using the seedlings provided by the county government.

The biggest difference in my daily life is in the merry go round savings in my village. I had never taken part in the village saving association before because most of my neighbors would not have managed it. I feel delighted that al of us ii n the group receive an equal amount and so we all have the ability to contribute. I am glad that I was able to buy a cow as we agreed in the group. The heifer is about to calve.

I expect to be getting a lot of income in the next six months because this will be my season of fruit production. My avocado trees will be generating a lot of income. I have a ready export market-ready. I have partnered with processing company that will buy for me and sells it outside the country. I expect to make a lot of income.

Looking back to the last four months and comparing it with my current life, I see a lot of difference and transformation in different sectors. My agricultural production has really improved for the last four months as I am currently enjoying a great harvest unlike in the past. A lot of other plans are in the pipeline currently; something which has been made possible by the increased profit margin from my produce. I am grateful to GiveDIrectly for the consistent support we have been receiving.

For the next four months, I have a new goal to venture into aquaculture. I have was promised support from the county government that they will provide me with fingers once I construct a fishpond to completion. This is a new idea which I am working on for the first time and i am hopeful that it will be successful given that I will be getting quality fish from the ministry of agriculture in the county government.

As a subsistence farmer, I had been working so hard to ensure that my farming is as productive as I have always wished. I have been producing fruits and tea leaves for a long time though I was undergoing some challenges when it comes to the sourcing of supplementary farm inputs. My fruit field would initially go for months without the addition of fertilizer. After receiving the transfer, this problem was solved and it is now getting better. In the last four months, I have been harvesting more fruits than ever before which is the biggest difference in my current life. this has earned me more income which then translates to more projects going forward.

With the current plans to construct a fishpond and initiation of fish farming, I expect the project to have started in the next six months.

Our community is more cohesive and connected. Initially, we could rarely visit each other or have a communal project. Nowadays we are happier and eager to work together courtesy of GiveDirectly. I have never seen this kind of spirit in this village ever since I was born. We now mingle with young and old. Some couldn't make to my homestead but nowadays they are free and happy to come over to my place as we share one common merry-go round group. To me, this is the greatest difference in my life.

My next goal is to buy an electric water pump which will help me pump water from a well I had dug some years ago. I plan to use this water to irrigate my farm which will guarantee me more healthy crops hence more income. I will pump some to my homestead, therefore, my family won't struggle manually getting the water from the well which is usually a very slow and tiresome process

The biggest difference is that I was able to do large scale farming. I decided to plant potatoes because they are usually in high demand and they take a short period of time to mature. I wouldn't have managed to buy the materials required for the cultivation process. I feel proud of myself and I am giving this project my best to get the best out of it

I am planning to buy a water tank in the next six months. Water shortage is the main issue in this area. I felt it is wise to buy a water tank that will harvest rainwater and store it until the next rainy season. I know I will have saved my family the menace of water shortage.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that in the past, I had three hundred avocado seedlings in my farm but now I have planted a hundred more seedlings so as to increase my harvest in the next season hence more income from the avocados.This will therefore ensure that I clear the school fees for my child in secondary school.

My new goal for the next 4 months is that I am planning to plant potatoes in my farm. This is because maize farming is not productive due to the maize disease outbreak in our area . This will boost food production from my farm.I am planning to sell the potatoes and use the income to buy pipes to irrigate tea and avocados seedlings in my farm.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that currently,I have planted more avocado seedlings than the past four months.I used some of my transfers to buy a hundred seedlings so as to increase production from my farm hence earn more money from selling the avocados.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I have been always dreaming to be a large scale farmer in the area and I am seeing this coming to a reality. This is because of the good harvest from the avocados and potatoes.I am planning to buy irrigation pipes from the income I get from potatoes and fruits and this will expand my farming through irrigation of crops in my farm. This will ensure a good harvest and also the tea seedlings in the nursery will not dry up during the dry season. This will also boost my income.

My life is currently different because these transfers have enabled me to sleep peacefully because there are no more drunkards in our village anymore.

I am planning to put up a poultry house and then start rearing traditional chicken species.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that these transfers have brought peace and happiness in my family and there is reduced borrowing from neighbors.

I expect to have a built poultry farm and start rearing chicken and access clean water.

My new goal that i have is that i am planning to expand my business by planting more crops to give me a higher yield.

My life is totally different unlike before i got the transfer,currently i am able provide basic needs to my large family with the support of my two wives who are both recipients of the transfer.

In the next 6 months,i will be able to harvest more produce from my farm and this will lead to high sale of the same hence i will get a lot of money in return.

I am very happy about GD for the transfer that gave me.This money helped me cater for my daily expenses without much strain.
