My new goal for the next four months is to lease an extra piece of land. I intend to plant maize this coming season. I chose to venture into this business because I knew quite a number of people who would guide me into doing it successfully. Maize also does well in this region, therefore, there were high chances of succeeding.

The biggest difference in my life in the last four months ever is that I am always happy and at peace. Through the transfer I got from GiveDirecty, I was able to boost my poultry and dairy projects. As a result, I have started getting more income from the sale of milk as well as from the poultry project. This has made it possible to comfortably provide for my family. The peace of mind that has come as a result of this is immeasurable. I really thank this organization for coming up with this unique idea of giving out unconditional cash transfers.

I expect my life to change in the next six months. I plan to invest my savings and increase my income to a point where I can start actualizing my longterm goals. My biggest worry at the moment is to easily pay school fees for my children. My kids are very bright and I would never want to fail them in any way. I thank God I was among the beneficiaries because I have means of starting other income-generating activities and achieve most of these goals.

My life is currently different in that we no longer face difficulties in buying some of the most basic necessities for the family like food like we used to face four months a go. I have also been able to pay school fees for my children in time and avoid the embarrassment of them being sent away for lack of school fees. This has given my children ample time to study in school and an assurance on my side that they will have a brighter future.

Over the next four months, I have plans of of saving the GiveDirectly transfers and later buying a dairy cow with the help of other income from the family investments that we have. these and other family income generating activities will generally make our lives easier and raise our living standards.

The biggest difference in my daily life over the last four months is that I have been able to start a poultry keeping project. Over the last four months, I have been able to improve my poultry keeping project and I have been able to collect enough eggs that is able to buy feeds for the chicken and at the same time afford to buy the basic household needs for the family.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I shall have an established poultry unit of up to 50 chicken. This will help me a lot in meeting the basic household needs and paying school fees for my children. I also have plans of hiring pieces of land and putting it under cultivation.This, I am sure shall only come to reality if I stick to my plans and get assistance from my husband.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because now at least I can assist my husband with our daily expenditure. I started poultry farming using my transfer and this has assisted me a lot because I cannot see my self as a burden to my husband but a liability. Currently, I am able to cater for our daily expenditure through the sale of eggs.

My additional goals in the next four months is to buy more chicken. Because of the good income, I have seen from poultry farming I will like to expand more. These could assist me in the future to move to the next project after saving some income.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I am now depending on my self. Now I can buy whatever I want unlike before. I used to ask my husband for everything. He used to buy all our family basic needs and personal effects. When I received this transfer, I invested most of it in poultry farming. At the moment I get income through the sale of eggs. In a day I get approximately KES 200 from the sale of eggs. This money usually goes towards our daily household expenditure. This has really eased my husbands family burden unlike earlier when he could strain a lot.

In the next six months, I am planning to buy goats from the savings I will get from my poultry farming. I will be able to sell these goats in future to pay school fees for my children. They are yet to start schooling and I have been yearning to give them the best education.

I am a bit relaxed and happier. I work without worrying about food or tuition fees for the children. This is because I live knowing I have got a stable source of income.

In the next four months I will have more chicken, I am planning to add a few chicken in the following months. I will also have bought a sheep by then.

Having a stable source of income is the biggest difference in my daily life. Within the last four months I managed to pull different resource here and there and had fewer challenges. I can access food more easily which was a huge problem in the past because we entirely depended on farming. Our harvests were affected by drought and pests.

I expect my life to be better, my hens would have multiplied and add to our source of income. We will be having more sources of livelihood apart from farming. Thus improved living standard for my family.

The new goal that I now have is to expand my poultry and have more chicken so as to generate better income for my family.

My life is currently different since I can now afford meals for my family. Our lives are so much better since our basic needs are met and I can still get some money from sale of eggs from the poultry that I bought using GD funds.

I expect to have a better life economically in next six months. I intend to get more poultry and get more eggs to sell so as to have more money to meet our needs.

The biggest difference in my daily life since I received payments from GD is the ability to afford three meals in a day.My family is now well fed unlike earlier when we could only afford one meal in a day and we were struggling.
