The difference in my life in the last four months is that I have new household items such as sofa set and table. I used to sit on the floor and whenever I had visitors in the house, I would have to beg for seats from my neighbors. This affected our relationship because they felt I am overburdening them with my needs. In the last four months, I was saving and I am happy I have my own seats now because of my savings from GD transfers. I no longer beg for seats anymore and I feel independent.

My additional goal in the next four months is to buying building materials such as sand, cement and iron sheets which I want to use in expanding my house. The house I have is too small and I would want to plaster the house so that it may be durable and presentable.

Before the transfers, I used to sleep on a mat on the ground. I was not able to buy new bedding because of my low income from casual work which was not consistent. The income from casual work was too small to meet all my needs and save the rest to buy new bedding. I had to contend with what I had and lost hope in getting new ones. When I started receiving these transfers, I used it to buy new bedding. I am very happy because I sleep comfortably courtesy of GD transfers.

In the next six months, I want to continue saving. I would want to use my savings to buy building materials such as cement and sand to plaster the house. The condition of my house is not good because it was built in a hurry at my husband's burial. I would want to make it stable by plastering it. This is how I would wish to change my life in the next six months.

My life is currently different from how it was in that, I am healthy and strong. I am able to perfectly do domestic chores on my own. Previously, I could not afford a balanced diet because of the meagre earnings from casual jobs. I could at times survive on water alone and this forced me to sleep under the tree as I recharge myself and then get up when I get the energy to start doing the domestic chores. Most of the times, I completely lack food. I nowadays eat three meals a day and I feel strong and healthy. This allows me to finish my house chores quickly leaving ample time to look for casual jobs.

I have several goals. One of them is to fix a new door. My door is loose and can be broken easily. The hinges of the door have broken, it also has holes because it's old. I am also planning to hold a memorial ceremony for my late husband. This is a tradition hence I can't miss organizing it as per our cultural norms.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I managed to buy a bed and a mattress. I used to sleep on a mat down on the floor due to lack of money to afford a decent place to rest at night. My late husband used to weave mats and being that he was in this business, he only took one his mats for us to sleep on. We could quarrel when I ask him to buy a bed. Nowadays, I sleep in a comfortable place and don't get tired, with back aches when I wake up. I wish he was around, we would be happier and not quarrelling about the bedding.

I expect my life to change in the next six months because I am expecting a bumpy harvest this season. This time I was able to hire people to work in my farm, therefore, I managed to prepare a big area of land. I am will be in a position of selling some of this produce so as to meet my other needs and store some of them that will last us up to the next harvesting season. This will save me from buying food in bits since it is always expensive and inefficient.

I now have a new steel door that I have that I never had before. I initially had a weak wooden door that could easily be broken into in case of a tempted theft case but right now I feel more secured because of the steel door.

I want to repay my debts so that I free myself from the debts of my creditors.

I have been using this money to make a lot of adjustments in my house which I could not do before due to lack of money. I already a new solar system that I will use to light my house very easily. Apart from that, I have been able to buy a new steel door and used it to replace the old wooden door that was so weak.

I want to make sure that next season I get in to serious farming by using modern day fertilizers that will enable me get a lot of bumper harvest at the end of the season. Once I get the bumper harvest I will be in a position to eat well and get a balanced diet that will keep me going into the future.

I had a lot of stress after the death of my husband because I was wondering how I will take of my family, I am very grateful to GD because currently I do not have any stress and I feel I am very healthy because we are eating.

I except to have plastered my house so that it looks decent like my neighbors houses.

I am now eating well because I can afford three meals in a day unlike before when we could go without eating.I bought a few utensils hence I do not borrow anymore from my neighbors whenever I have visitors.

I do not have any new goal because I have not achieved my previous goal of renovating my house.
