My life is currently, different from the way it was four months ago in that I'm assured of food security. This is because I got a good harvest after investing most of the previous transfers on farming. Food has always been an issue for my family because my family is big and I don't have a stable source of income. I am glad this year will be different because we had a bumper harvest this year. In addition to that, my business has also grown because I was able to boost it with the previous transfers. Life, in general, has become better and the future looks bright.

Pigs give birth to many children and in a year they give birth twice. For the next four months, I have the plan to save some of the money I get from Give Directly and purchase pigs for rearing. After one year I'll be assured of at least 16 piglets. In the future, I'll later sell the piglets in order to raise money for purchasing a cow. If all goes well, I will no longer languish in poverty.

I invested much of the previous transfers on farming and I'm glad I was able to get a good harvest. I believe that the crops we harvested in this season are enough to sustain my family until next year thus I'm assured of food security. This has helped me save a lot, and I am planning to start another business with the money I would have used to buy food. This will help me in meeting our other household needs with ease without depending on casual jobs.

My aim is to raise money for purchasing a cow. Since cows are expensive, I'm planning to purchase a pig with the coming transfers so that after it has given birth I'll sell the young ones in order to raise money for purchasing a cow. Therefore, in the next six months, I expect to have bought enough pigs that will enable me to reach my target. I am hopeful that I will be able to reach my goal by the end of this year.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because my granddaughter is no longer being sent home for school fee arrears because i am able to pay her fee without too much struggling. I am also eating well because I got enough produce from my farm where I used give directly's money to hire people to weed.

My new goal is to start cattle farming as my future investment, where by i am planning to buying pig since pig mature very fast and it is very much profitable. It will allow me to do investment in other things within a short time.

for Helida( The biggest difference in my daily life is that l am able to pay my granddaughter's school fees with less struggle as I used to do before. For this reason, my granddaughter has never been sent home for school fees arrears ever since I started receiving the money from Give Directly. This has given her enough time to concentrate on her studies and hopefully, this will help improve her grades. I am also able to hire people to work on my farm with the help of the transfer since I am now aged and I can not work by myself. This has to lead to improved production from my farm and I no longer spend money buying food such as maize any longer.

In the next six months l expect to have started to cattle keeping as my future investment, by buying one pig as a start and I am very sure this will mature very fast.

My life is currently different in that I now make more money than ever before, all thanks to GD transfers that have helped me expand it. I can now afford to take care of my personal needs without always seeking for financial assistance.

I ventured into pig-rearing a few months ago, but unfortunately, one of the pigs I purchased died of unknown causes. To revive this project, I wish to replace the pig, especially for breeding purposes because I was only left with a male one that cannot reproduce. Pigs are easy to maintain and require little attention, they also reproduce very fast hence the reason to invest in them

My business has seen a lot of positive growth in the last few months because I have been investing most of my monthly transfers in my business by adding new products and new stock. I am happy that I now make more profit and I can easily take care of household needs without much struggle.

I expect the pig project that I am currently planning to be in full force in six months time. I want to be a well-known supplier of pigs to the local slaughterhouses in the near future and for this to become a reality, I would have to completely invest in this project.

My grandchild has time to concentrate on his studies because paying school fees for him is no longer a big stress for me. For instance, this terms alone, he was sent away from school due to fees arrears but he I was able to pay the amount immediately which made him resume his studies on time.

I have a plan of making adjustments on my kitchen that is almost falling due to the weak walls that have been breaking down slowly overtime due to poor weather conditions especially during the rainy seasons.

I have bee able to use this cash over the months to buy food for my family very easily without having to work so hard in order to earn some little cash for using in the house. I used to cultivate my farm without even being able to to use modern seedlings and fertilizers but right now I am in a position to buy the modern fertilizers that results in a higher yield at the end of the season.

I want to boost my small scale business so that I can be able to rely into the future so that even if the organizations transfers are stopped I should be able to keep on pushing without so much struggles.

Previously I could sell even the little produce I get from my farm to enable me get my daily needs ,but since I started receiving this transfer,I have enough,given that I no longer sell anything as I have something to rely on everything.

In the next six months,I expect my business to have grown.

I am no longer a bother to the local shop keepers. I always have cash and do not take things on credit.

My new goal is to start a small business to help me sustain my family.
