Currently, my life is different from how it was because I am now financially stable. I used to entirely depend on my siblings and children. I was fond of asking the most basic items that even the poorest person can afford. I feel good because moving forward I won't be bothering them more often like I used to do a few months ago.

My new goal is to buy sheep. I plan to buy a sheep because I don't have any asset at the moment. A sheep is the only asset I can afford at the moment. I have a rented calf which belongs to my sister. I will like to have my own because she can come for it at any time. I know that once I buy one sheep I will be secure. Even if my sister takes that calf, I have something I can hold on to whenever an emergency arises.

My failing eyesight which happened some time back brought a lot of things to a standstill in my life. I was a renowned entrepreneur dealing with cereals of different kinds. I had to leave the business when the infections in my eyes got intense. Taking care of my primary and secondary needs became difficult as a result of this. Providing three meals a day for my family was a problem. Today, I have a different story to tell. The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I can easily provide most of the basic needs for my family. All these have been possible because of the help which I receive from GiveDirectly.

My expectation in the next six months is to ensure that I buy sheep. I have already started saving my monthly income and I am hopeful that I will have accumulated enough money to buy the sheep. I target to have three of them because they will provide enough manure which will ensure I get healthy crops.

My life is different in that, I can now employ the use of hybrid seeds and fertilizer in my farming. This was never the case because it was costly to purchase the hybrid seeds at the same time pay workers.

I am looking forward to venturing in large scale farming. This will be a source of income as well as wealth creation.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have been able to invest in farming. I bought hybrid seeds and also paid laborers to help me plow the farm. At my old age, this is a struggle so I have to hire workers to help me do the work. Without the transfers, this would not have been possible.

With the use of hybrid seeds, I am looking forward to a good harvest and this will help me increase my income and also create wealth for me.

The life I currently different because I get a monthly cash transfer that helps me to meet my daily family needs. I use a part of the transfer to buy foodstuff that would have been hard to find. My family does not go to bed an=t night hungry anymore. I am so happy to be able to provide for my family.

My new goal is to buy sheep to incorporate livestock keeping gon my farm. It is a venture that will grow quickly as the sheep will multiply fast. This will enable me to have another source of income from selling the animals whenever I have a major financial need like paying school fees for my children.

I have always desired to engage in farming in a more intense way. The only stumbling block was getting money to use it on buying inputs. Receiving this money has enabled me to acquire all the inputs on time. Farming is now my favorite income earning activity. I look forward to having a bumper harvest at the end of this season.

I expect to buy enough food for my family in the next six months. I will have had a good harvest form the investment I made recently using these transfers.

Currently, I can afford to put food on my table without struggling unlike before I could work extra hard despite my old age and this was tiresome.

I have no new goals.

The biggest difference is that I can put food on my table on a daily basis. This was a hustle.

In the next six months, I will have completed my farming process. This includes preparstion of the farm, buyinh fertilizer and planting ., I will be awaiting harvest season.

I have no new goals apart from building myself a kitchen and feeding myself.

I am able to feed myself without struggling like before. This has made my life peaceful and less stressful.As an old woman am now living comfortably.

I expect to have a flourishing life having my own kitchen and being able to feed myself.

The biggest difference in my life since I started receiving the payments is I am now able to build myself a kitchen since I have been cooking outside and the rains have been a havoc.
