My additional goal for my life for the next four months is to buy an extra tailoring machine. I have an ambition of starting a tailoring school where I can also teach my fellow young ladies for pay. I thought of starting a tailoring school because I now have the knowledge to impact on others and help them uplift their lives. In addition, I have a monthly income from Give Directly that I can save for a while and then buy the requirements for tailoring classes to kick off.

I am now self-dependent and this is the biggest difference in my life in the last four months preceding the current transfer. I am staying with my parents together with my child though they have no reliable source of income. Life has not been easy in that at times we sleep hungry. I used to feel a lot of pain when I see my little child stay without food the whole day. Today this is a dream because things changed drastically the moment we started receiving money from Give Directly, we eat well, my child put on nice clothes and I want to thank Give Directly for this. In addition, I managed to join the tailoring college. I used to spend part of my transfer to pay fees, now I am done with college and I am self-employed.

In the next six months, I expect to have established tailoring classes. Having this business in place will enable me to have an additional source of income. I will be able to help my parents financially with a lot of ease and also paying school fees for my child will not be a challenge anymore as it used to be.

My life is currently different from how it was in that, I no longer have to borrow money from my parents for my personal use. Ever since I started receiving my transfers and boosted my own business I have become independent.

I am planning to set up a tailoring shop where I can make clothes as well as offer training in tailoring to those interested to learn.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have been able to boost my tailoring business. I purchased new arrival materials which have seen the number of my customers increasing day in day out. This has made my profits margins increase.

In the next six months God willingly I will be more stable in my business and my profits will have increased as well. This will allow me to provide for my parents and my children.

I am currently running a fishmongering business which generates income for my family. Previously, I was just depending on my mother for everything. I can now afford to buy food for my children and we can eat healthy food, three times a day. I can pay school fees for my children too. They hardly stay at home because of the lack of it. I m now independent!

I would like to save and buy a sewing machine as I was trained on how to sew clothes. With the machine, I can sew clothes for clients and get money for the family.

I saved the transfers from GD and started a fish-mongering business. We are in a good place right now thanks to GD. I get monthly transfers which I use to boost my business some more. From this business, I get money to pay for school fees for my children. We also eat well and wear nice and fancy clothes. That is the biggest difference in my life right now.

I will have saved and bought a sewing machine to sew clothes for and cloth materials that I can sell to generate more income for my family. I also would wish to boost my small business to earn us more income.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because l am now independent people can also now depend on me.

My new goal is to start cattle farming, so l am planing to buy one dairy cow as a start.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that l no longer depend on my brother's, because l spent the GD transfer to start a business of selling fish, which has really changed my life because when l need anything personal l would use my own money to buy, compared to before when l would ask for everything and sometimes l end up not getting and l become frustrated.

In the next six months l expect to have started saving and started dairy farming.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have my own business running. I was so idle and no source of reliable income like I am having now.

In the next six months I expect my life to change for the better with my business having expanded and I shall have started another one. Tailoring . This means more profits and a comfortable life for my son and my family.

Were it not for GiveDirectly,I could have never started the business in the first place for lack of money to do so. I am able to provide for my son whenever he is need of anything. I no longer depend on my mother and instead I can also help her in other areas she needs.

I am saving the profits I am making now and this will help me educate my son who will be starting school soon. This is my new goal.
