I used most of the transfers to purchase household needs. This has given a lot of peace and feeling of independence because I no longer rely on people for help. This is unlike the previous situation when I could ask people for money to meet my household needs because I couldn't afford most of the items.

Currently, we fetch water about 5km away from my home. Since I'm aged, it's normally challenging to walk for that long distance to get water and in most cases, I'm forced to purchase water hence additional budget. for the next four months, I have an additional goal of saving the coming transfers so that use them to purchase a water tank. This will help me save on both the cost of purchasing water and the struggles of walking for a long distance to fetch water because I'll be harvesting the rainwater.

For the last four months, I have been able to afford most of the household needs especially food without nan challenges. This is unlike the previous case when I only relied on farming which wasn't reliable due to unpredictable climate change. In most cases whatever I used to get from the harvest could barely sustain my family. This forced me to rely on people for help but I'm glad I'm now independent and this makes feel so proud of myself. This is the biggest difference in my daily life.

I'm planning to save the coming transfers so that I can purchase a water tank. This will help me harvest rainwater hence I won't walk for a long distance to look for water neither will I be spending on water. I'm hopeful that in the next four months I'll have bought the water tank.

I no longer have to borrow money for my household expenses. Before I started receiving the transfers, I was known for borrowing money from almost all the shops. This tinted my name and it reached a point where I became uncomfortable. But thanks to GD, I manage my transfers well and I have become more independent.

I am planning to purchase a super drum. At my village water is a rare commodity. I am hoping to purchase a super drum to harvest rainwater that can be of great help during dry seasons. This will also save me the cost of purchasing water.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have been able to build a kitchen for my household. Initially, I used to cook in my compound outside the house and this was unfavorable especially on rainy days. It meant that cooking had to be disrupted which on some days it meant sleeping on am empty stomach.

In the next six months, I am hoping to have bought a super drum a capacity of 6,000 liters. This will help me harvest rainwater. Besides that, I hope to have bought a few utensils that I had lacked in my household.

I could manage to eat well and do other things without any problem, unlike in the past when the family could go without meal. There have been no cases of malnutrition noticed amongst my children. I have also prepared land for planting, bought certified seeds and fertilizer for this season. Season being predictably good, we expect good harvest if all goes well. The sweet potatoes I planted five months ago, is ready for harvesting and due to the market demand, my expectation is good income and this will sustain my family.

I have a goal of buying something tangible that I will remember GD with. In that case, I have been doing little savings and by the end of the year, I will determine the project suitable for my economic sustainability.

Initially, I used to have anxiety when it came to meeting my family needs, but since I was privileged to receive this money, I have been at peace in terms of budgeting for my family. It has made me have peace of mind, hence, good planning for the future.

I expect my life to be good in terms of economic status. I had sweet potatoes plantation which is ready and hopefully, it will be harvested for the next two months. This means I will have stable money for the family.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because l now have a very nice comfortable place to cook in.

I do not have additional goal a part from buying more chicken to improve my poultry farming.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that l manage to build a kitchen and now l have a very comfortable place to cooking in, as compared to before when l was cooking under the tree where l had to worry when it wants to rain.

In the next six months l expect to have improve my poultry farming and to start saving for my project of extending my house, since it is very small.

The biggest difference in my life is that I longer cook under a tree because I have managed to build a kitchen.

I expect to have expanded my house because it is too small.I am also planning to buy more maize for family consumption when the prices are still low.

Currently I do not cook under a tree like before because I build a kitchen where I cook my food without any worries of being rained on when it rains.

My main house is not spacious enough to accommodate my visitors comfortably hence I am planning to expand it. That is my new goal.
