My life is currently different from how it was because my living standards have greatly improved. Today, I am able to take care of my daily needs easily and having an investment is the greatest things that I am proud of. I was able to buy a dairy cow. I will soon be getting milk which I can sell and consume the rest with my family.

My new goal is to plaster my house. Currently, it is in bad condition. Smearing it has always been hectic. The worst part of it is the worms that get inside the house to destroy the walls and floor. Renovating it will relieve me from the hard work and the cost which I normally incur during repairs.

Getting little income had limited me from achieving most of my goals. Paying school fees was the major challenge and most of the time my children could be sent home due to fee arrears. Inside me, I was burning when I could see my children missing lessons. The feeling that I had was failing in my role as a parent. When I got the transfer and manager to pay school fees for them. It was the best feeling ever which is the biggest difference in my daily life

My expectation in the next six months is to give a helping hand to others. I want to invest in farming. I am certain that I will be able to employ the youths in the community and when I get more produce, I can even share with the elderly. Farming will also help me sustain my family well and reduce the cost of buying food.

Currently, my life is different from how it was four months ago in that, I can have all my three meals with much ease and comfort. This was not the case before, I had to do casual work to earn an income which was never promised on a daily basis.

In the next four months, I am planning to purchase an ox to help me with farming and even hiring out for income.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have been able to afford food with much more ease unlike I used to before. I used to hustle to make ends meet which was not a guarantee at the end of the day.

In the next six months hopefully, I will have bought an ox and I will no longer have to hire one for my use in the farm but instead, I will own mine that will not only help me in my farm works but also generate income from hiring.

Currently, my life is different in that I have been able to pay school fees for my three children. Through this, it's a relief as I am no longer worried of them being sent home for school fees like before when they could stay at home a month or more due to lack of money and now their performances have improved with their interest for studying as well.

My new goal for the next six months is to save money and use it to buy building materials which I will use to fence my compound. This will enhance the security of properties as there will be avoidance of trespassers on my homestead.

My biggest difference is that I am able to get daily meals without much struggle. I do farming and the produce from my farm is not enough to feed my family members and this has been so challenging for me. when I started receiving the transfer from GiveDirectly, I have been able to buy additional food staff to supplement the ones I produce on my farm. With this, my family members a balanced diet and this has improved our health and standard of living.

I expect in the next six months to shall have saved money and buy a dairy cow, I believe I will earn an extra income through the sale of milk to cater to my family's needs.

My life is different because paying fees is now not a problem like it was before.

I have a new goal of making savings so that I get enough money to hire a new piece of land that I will cultivate and get more farm products at the end of the season.

I have been able to cultivate my farm accordingly and getting a bumper harvest is never a problem due to the high quality fertilizer that I have been using. Part of the money has also been helping me in paying school fees for my son, a burden that has been weighing me down for sometime.

I will have enough food that can keep the family afloat for a long period, the excess can be sold out in exchange of cash.

My new goal is to improve the appearance of the family house by plastering it.

My life is currently different in that I feel more motivated.

In the next six months I expect my life to change in that I will harvest more grain, get enough to feed on and enjoy improved health.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I was able to pay for services and ploughed a bigger piece of land, unlike before when I could not afford the service and only ploughed a small piece of land.
