My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that I have been able to provide for my family without much struggle despite the hard economy. Getting some menial jobs to do is a bit hard but despite all this, my mother and I have never slept hungry.

My additional goal in life is to build a decent house made from timber. I will cement the floor so that it will be easier to clean. Currently, I live in a mud house and I am not quite impressed with its state. This is because as a man, I cannot dust it by smearing mud on it and I do not have a wife to help me with this work.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have been to purchase a dairy cow. Due to this, we no longer buy milk daily hence my daily expenditure has reduced. When it reproduces, I will be selling milk to my neighbors and use the income on other investments.

In the next six months, my life will have changed in that I will have started buying some building material. Even though I will not have started building a new spacious house, I am hoping that I will have bought some building materials, for instance, timber and nails.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago since I feel my family is now happier because they no longer tire working on casual labour for a living

My new goal for the next four months is to construct another spacious house build of timber since the one I am currently living in a mud house. I want to improve my standards as It's also tiring to maintain a mud house. The new house will also well accommodate my entire family

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now happier because I am now in a position to buy food for my family without so much hustles like I used to do before. I currently nolonger struggle to look for casual jobs considering that I have an income from GD transfers

I expect my life to change in the next six month because with the merry go round contributions that I expect to get in the next five months, I have planned to purchase a dairy cow to increase my current stock. The cow will add value to my asset size as well as I will have an increased volume of milk production with which I can sell for extra income

I am happier, unlike four months ago when I used to get stressed. whenever my children asked me to provide them with food, clothes, stationaries and school fees it used to really stress me since I had nothing to offer them. They could a times cry around me and this could really make me sad. At the moment, I have bought them clothes and books. I am happier since I can offer them whatever they ask for courtesy of these transfers.

In the next four months, my savings from table banking will have matured and I am planning to use them to buy a dairy cow. This will enable my family to have enough milk and then sell the rest in a bid to help increase income for my family.

The biggest difference in my daily is that I never lack basic needs like before. The family burden that I had got easier since most parts of the transfers go towards buying basic needs like food, clothing and education costs for my children. I have also joined a table banking group which is a great savings plan for me. Before the transfers, I did not have a saving culture and I am really grateful since as soon as I get my share from the table banking I am going to spend them on buying a dairy cow.

In the next 6 months, I will have saved enough from the transfers and from my hustles to enable me to build a house. I will have gotten money from doing menial jobs and then use the money from the two sources to buy building materials. If all goes well, I will have built two roomed, semi-permanent house. this will be spacious to accommodate my family and have a room where visitors can sleep in.

My life is currently different because I used to lack farm inputs but now I can afford and when I lack money I can borrow items on credit payable when I receive the transfer.

In the next four months I am planning to built a new house by buying iron sheets and timber slowly and surely. I am also planning to venture into farming of maize, beans and vegetables.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that these transfers have enabled me to save in a merry go round group towards buying a dairy cow.

I expect my to be more hardworking and financially stable.

My biggest goals were keeping poultry and sheep. I couldnt do that before because it requires a huge amount of capital

Life wouldnt be easy because we could stil be depending on one source of income, therefore we coulnt meet most of our needs

Now that am planning to start doing poultry farming, I believe that my life will improve because there is added income

The biggest difference is that I am able to plan and acheive my goals.For instance am planning to keep sheep and do poultry farming. I believe i will be able to acheive that with the assistance I get from Give Directly
