Currently, I do not have any new goal but to save more money through the merry-go-rounds in order to purchase another heifer. I want to venture into raising livestock.

The biggest difference in my daily life is the purchase of a heifer, after saving for a long time through the merry-go-round group, I managed to accumulate enough money which enabled me to buy a heifer worth 3000KES. This means as a household we will no longer have any problems with milk and besides getting milk to raise we can also earn revenue through the sale of milk.

In the next six months if all goes well I expect to have bought a cow. With more savings, I will see the number of my livestock increase every five months. I would have kissed poverty goodbye and stepped into the new land of milk and honey.

Participation in the merry-go-round has been an encouraging factor in our daily planning. It has brought unity in our household and currently we have a new goal to purchase a dairy cow. Since we are both participating with my husband in the merry-go-round, we have a plan to combine our contribution from the merry-go-round and purchase a dairy cow which will cut the cost of buying milk from the neighborhood. This will also be helpful to us since our growing children are much in need of milk at every other time.

Since I started receiving the transfers from GiveDirectly, I have been actively participating in a merry-go-round where we have been paying 2050 KES monthly with the other 12 members. I am much grateful that I have been consistent in my participation where I have been paying the required amount in time and in full amount all that time. Being in this group and able to plan ahead is the biggest difference in my daily life. It has given us peace of mind as a family since we are optimistic about the future since we are sure of receiving our contribution when our time comes.

in the next six months, I expect to see our goal to purchase a cow having completed. According to our budget, out of a total of 49000 KES which we will both be receiving, we will be using a total of 40000 KES to purchase the dairy cow. We are grateful for the support from GiveDIrectly.

My life is currently different in the sense that I am now a livestock farmer. My main daily activities revolve around goat keeping. I wake up early and take them to graze. I then feed them. These activities keep me busy as well as having to spend my time in meaningful ways. I am so happy because I know that all that I am doing is economically productive.

My next goal is to buy a dairy cow. I will keep saving money in my group towards the buying of the cow that will act as a source income. The milk sale will help me in meeting my household needs.

The biggest difference in my daily life is the savings that I have been accumulating over the last four months. I received the savings in may from my merry go round group and used it to buy goats. This a good investment where I am keeping the money as the animals also multiplies in order to buy a cow in the near future. Havings savings has given me the power to own livestock, the goats, that have always been my desire.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will be a dairy farmer. I will be earning a good income as well as producing milk for consumption at home. I will have stopped buying milk for my children which were a very costly affair. I see myself being able to meet my needs and those of my family with ease than ever before.

I don't have any new goal for the next four months but just to keep buying more to increase the number I keep.

The biggest difference in my life is that I have an income I get from the chicken I keep in my home. I am happy to wake every day and see my brood growing. It will help me

In the next months,I will have reduced the intensity of the casual jobs I do.I will also be havving enough food for my family.

I am planning to built a new house by buying few iron sheets and timber each month until they are enough for building a house big enough to accommodate my family because the house we are currently living in is quite small.

My life is currently different because am planning to built a new house and acquire new furniture and household items. In terms of food there will adequate food for the subsequent 143 months. In terms of school fees we will manage to pay in a timely manner.

I expect my general cleanliness to improve and will have bought a dairy cow which help feed my family by selling of chicken which will have multiplied at the end of six months.

The biggest difference in my daily life is to increase my chicken stock so that when they multiply I can sell them and buy a heifer because currently we don't have one.
