My life is different from how it would have been four months ago in that I have livestock in my compound. This is a dream come true in my life. I had desired to have livestock but due to low income from casual work, I was not able to achieve this goal. Receiving these transfers revived the dream and started paying for the three goats I have now bit by bit. As at now, I feel rich and GD has taken away my shame through the transfers.

My new goal in the next four months is to ensure I pay all the school fees arrears for my son who is sitting for his final examinations in secondary school this year. This is because I would not want him to be sent home for arrears anymore. This will affect his performance if he is sent home every now and again.

Since I started receiving these transfers, I joined a merry-go-round with other village members who are also GD recipients. I was determined to save so that I can buy building materials for putting up a good house. I have been saving the transfers and I am glad I used my savings to buy building materials such as iron sheets, timber and nails which I have used in building an iron-roofed house. Before the transfers, I used to live in a grass-thatched with part of the roof covered with polythene bags. This was my biggest worry and I am glad it is my past now.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have cleared my son's school fees arrears. My plan is to save on a monthly basis so that I clear the balance. It will be my joy when my son performs well in his final examinations because he had humble time to study. I can only ensure this is done if I clear the balance in time.

My life is currently different from how it was before Give Directly came into my life in that I no longer purchase maize floor. Since I started receiving the transfer from GD, I was able to boost my farming. My produce is more than what I used to get before; It can last me for longer periods before buying a new stock. This is cheaper compared to buying from the market or other people's farm. I really thank Give Directly for giving me this help because my life has improved. I am stable financially, health-wise and economically

Currently, I don't have any additional goal. I want to put more efforts on my farm in order to get a good harvest. I feel like if I start another project I will not be able to efficiently do my do farming. I want to use the little resources that I have to ensure that I get the best out of it.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I was able to invest in farming. I managed to buy farm inputs which I could not afford previously. I was also able to hire labor and plant on time. I normally use cow dung from my farm because I couldn't afford the modern fertilizers. It is a good type of manure but it doesn't have some nutrients that would help plants flourish. I believe that this time I will get a bumper harvest because I had all the necessary resources. In addition to this, I also bought a few household items. Some of these Items were only considered for the rich. I am glad I was also able to afford a few

In the next six months, I am hopeful that I will have a bumper harvest and enough food stock for my household given the input in the farming.

I was diagnosed with high blood pressure due to stress, I even developed ulcer infection as a result of worries on where I might have getten money for school fees, but currently, I have managed my life well and have good plans financially for my future economic development.

I have a goal to achieve in the next four months, I want to buy dairy goats at least two, and to build a cooking house. I believe this will be achievable as long as I am still in GD program.

The biggest difference in my daily life for the last four months is that, initially, I used to toil in order to pay school fees because getting loan was difficult. Currently, I am access to loan and pay school fees very comfortably, and use the monthly transfer to pay back this loan. This has made me to appear like some one who earns a lot of money but it is not so, only that I have used my transfer wisely.

I plan to apply for loan to start goat rearing project. I built a house for the goats, and planted Nappier grass for feeding. I have been ambitious for that and have developed passion for the same. I had completed Fees for the whole year and by next year, I shall have achieved my dreams.

My life is currently different from the way it was four months ago in that I was able to hire people to plow my farm. I have also been easily paying my children's school without any challenges.

In the next four months I have a new goal of constructing akitchen because I do not have a kitchen and I'm currrently cooking in my main house which is not safe.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have managed to hire people to plow my farm and I'm hoping for an improved harvest.

In the next six months, I expect to have constructed a kitchen.

My new goal is to use these transfers to buy building poles and save part of it so that I can build a new house. I have bought most of the materials and all that is left is the labor fee.

Currently, I am sure of an income which enables me to plan ahead unlike before when I used to totally depend on casual jobs which were very unreliable.

In the next six months,I will have moved from this grass-thatched house to an iron-roofed one because I will use the transfers to buy the remaining materials and pay the construction workers.This will earn me respect in the society .

With this money,I am able to take care of projects I would never do before,such as cultivating that large piece of land that has been laying fallow for some time.This is a good sign because I it means more produce for my family.
