Currently, my life is different from how it was in that I eat a well-balanced diet unlike before where I could rely on the vegetables that were in my farm due to lack of money to buy a different meal. I am also able to take care of emergencies easily. Recently I got an accident and I was able to take care of the medical bills without taking loans. I can only thank GiveDirectly for financial support.

My new goal is to invest in large-scale farming. I want to hire land for this purpose. From my research, tomatoes, onion, and vegetables are normally on demand and so, having them as my main crops will give me an upper hand because few people have invested in them.

Depending on farming and selling charcoal was difficult because the income was little. Due to weather patterns and climate change I could get less produce. Eating a well-balanced diet was not possible because I had various needs that I had to attend to. Now that I am able to eat a good balanced diet using the monthly transfer, this is the biggest difference that I have experienced in my daily life so far.

My expectation in the next six months is to be a proud larger-scale farmer. I want to invest in planting onions, tomatoes, and vegetables. The market is readily available and I know that my living standards will definitely change from there sales which will enable me to meet my goals.

Previously, my children used to be sent home for school fees frequently. This really affected their performances but I had no option because my casual job was not generating adequate income. Upon receiving this transfer the biggest difference in my daily life is that I was able to settle the school fees arrears and now my children are confidently going to school with no worries of being sent home for school fees and their performance has improved so well.

My new goal for the next four months is to save money and pay school fees for my children so that they will be able to pursue their dream without any interference

I spent the money I received from GiveDirectly to pay school fees for my three children who are in primary school and high school respectively. Its a relieve for me since they are no longer being sent home for school fees hence their performances have improved as compared to before.

In the next six months, my children will be attending school with minimal disruptions of fee breaks like it used to be before.

My life is currently different from how it was in that, I have financially empowered and budget well and buy food and whatever I needed. Depending on casual jobs and farming was a challenge.

My new goal is to build a second house as per the tradition.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I was able to take care of my needs easily. I bought shoes, bag and uniform and school fees. I used to ferry people using a bicycle which was not enough to sustain my family. I decided to go back to the rural are and engage in farming. I am glad that Gd came and supported me.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that, I have completed buying building materials in readiness for constructing a decent house. Currently, I stay in a small one which leakes during rainny seasons. I had construted it using second hand iron sheets which were old and holes. I have to sgift my bed to a different coner of the house which is hectic. I know that, I will be relieved from this hectic work.

Currently, I can feed my family easily and buy them clothes and personal needs.

I have no new goals.

The biggest difference is that we as a family have adequate food and do not have to toil to bring food on a table.

In the next six years, I expect to be in peace and bring up a family comfortably.

My new goal involve getting enough stock of food for the family.

My life is currently different from how it was before because I am now relaxed in terms of doing less of the casual jobs in addition to having enough food.

I do not know whether my life will change in the next six months or not. I will only be able to give a comprehensive feedback by then.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now settled and I do not have to work so hard like I used to do before. I used to engage in a lot of casual labor before, moreover, I now have enough food to feed me for a long period.
