My new goal is to fence my home. I intend to tighten the security of my compound. I recently built my house and I felt for privacy and security purposes would be important to install a fence and small gate too. Installing a gate too will make my home look decent, and I would also get encouraged to start poultry and cattle rearing too.

I am nowadays hopeful and ambitious in life. Through the help I received from this organization, I am now able to meet most of my needs. For instance, I am now able to pay school fees for my children with a lot of ease. Food is no longer a problem in my house. I feel I have greatly improved my life ever since I started receiving this help. My children are staying a happy life simply because they don't miss meals unlike before, they also dress neatly just like other children from our neighbouring home.

In the next six months, I expect to have fenced my home. I will start with a few poles and a farm fencing wire. Later I will plant Kei apple. It will also help me demarcate my land from my neighbors. The transfers will help me with the kei apple seeds. Meanwhile, I will ensure the fencing wire has been installed within the next six months to ensure security.

My greatest achievement so far with the transfers is having plastered our entire house which was previously made of mud. Since last year, we have been saving most of our transfers which eventually enabled us to buy the required materials and finally plastered and beautifully painted the house.

Currently, I have one child in secondary school and another one who just joined college. Paying school fees for these kids is the only focus I have now hence no additional goals.

We managed to plaster our house which was initially made of mud which has brought a very big difference in my daily life because we now live in a dust-free environment which is also beneficial to out overall healths. The house generally looks so beautiful from far and has had many people wondering if I am also receiving the same from Give Directly as they are which makes me quite proud.

Now that I am unable to invest on anything else with my transfers other than paying school fees for my children, I do not expect any much change in my life in the next six months. I only expect to have it easy paying for the school fees because I know it would be tough without the transfers due to low income.

My life is different from how it was four months ago in that I was able to pay school fees for my son. I normally strain my self by doing several casual jobs a day in order to save something to pay for his school fees. Even after working this hard its usually not enough and they end up sending him home. It is very frustrating to see him being sent home although I usually have no otherwise but to try harder to make sure he goes back on time. I am glad this time I won't have to overwork my self because I managed to pay his school fees using the transfers sent to me by Give Directly.

My next goal is to fence my compound. I have always had issues with my neighbors over the past few years. It always feels bad when someone's chicken and cattle raid your farm and destroy all the crops. I used to feel bad but later realized that I was part of that problem. I am hopeful that fencing my home will be part of the solution.

The biggest difference in my life in the last four months is that I was able to pay school fees for my son. My son is very hard working and always performs well despite being sent home due to school fees arrears. I always felt like I was letting him down because he would miss lessons and was forced to strain himself in order to catch up with his classmates. When I got the chance to pay the fees I didn't hesitate because I value his education and I wouldn't want to be the reason for him to fail

I expect my life to change in the next six months because I will have fenced my home. This will solve many issues that we are currently facing. I will finally be at peace with my neighbors and the peaceful coexistence means will be able to grow and develop each other in a different way. I also believe that my harvest will increase because they will not have been interfered with by the cattle from the neighborhood.

My life is currently different from how it was because I was able to achieve most of my goals. I was able to do a lot of development which my neighbours could not imagine I could have achieved. For instance, I was able to cement my house which looks decent nowadays and took my child in a boarding school. To my neighbours, it is only the rich people who can afford to take their children to a boarding school and had cemented their floors. I feel like a hero after accomplishing these goals. Thanks to GiveDirectly.

My new goal is to fence my compound. I want to make my home look more appealing. Apart from that, I want to safeguard my backyard from being raided by the neighbour's fowls. It usually leads to bad relationships and holding grudges because they end up destroying my crops. One usually feels wasted after the long hard work especially if you depend on the farm produce to survive. I want to be at peace with all of them and I know that this is one of the ways that I can achieve the goal.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I am hopeful and proud of myself because I managed to cement my house. My house looks good. Previously, It used to be untidy because a mud-walled house wears off so fast making it look old an ugly. It also gave my wife a tedious job since she had to smear it most of the time which took most of her time. Now she spends that time to do other meaningful chores like farming.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that, I will have started a profitable business. I am thinking of opening a retail shop since we are far from the town centers. I believe it is a good business that will earn me enough money to boost my wages which I normally get from the manual jobs. When this dream actualizes I will be able to take care of my pressing needs easily.

I am able to get money for certain emergencies such as sickness and school fees without having to borrow from the neighbors. I have also made progress by plastering some parts of my house.

I would like to save some of these transfers so that we can buy building materials such as cement and sand and plaster our house to prevent the excess dust that cause us health problems.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that my family rarely goes hungry because the money that we receive is mostly spent on food.

In the next six months,I expect to have completed renovating my house and will be living in a better house.

My new goal is to fence my compound so as to secure my property.

My life is currently different from how it would have been if I never received the transfer in that, I would not have started plastering my house. I can say this is a step in my life.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that, I will have fenced my compound hence assuarity of my security.

The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving the transfer is that, I have started plastering my house hence hopeful of finishing the work. When It rains the outside walls of my house won't be washed because of the muddy nature.
