I majorly rely on farming to sustain my family's needs. In the next four months, I have a goal to invest more in farming since this will improve my farm products. I believe more farm products will, in turn, give us enough food and surpluses for sale to meet other family needs.

I have been living with my parents since I got married a few years and life has been challenging for us. I had to take up the responsibilities of providing our daily needs which was so pressing. I rely on casual jobs and subsistence farming thus getting enough income a day to support all the needs was hard. In the last four months, my life has greatly changed since I was able to relocate to my new home with my young family. I am happy that GiveDirectly has empowered me to bring up my family. I find it easier to provide for my family since I can supplement my daily wages from casual jobs and subsistence farming with my monthly transfer to support my family.

I expect my life in the next six months to have greatly changed. I expect to have invested more in farming thus will engage more in my piece of land than on hard and low paying casual jobs I currently do. I expect good crops on the farm thus will be hopeful of having a better harvest which translates to enough food in our family and surpluses to sell to meet other needs.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago since we enjoy more food in our family. Besides, we afford higher quality food. Still, I have significantly reduced the amount of time and energy that I spend handling casual work. Instead, I enjoy more rest that has restored my health and given me some ample time to focus and plan for my family. Additionally, I share more time with my children. Subsequently, I get to learn most of their challenges and concerns, while offering appropriate pieces of advice on a timely basis. Overall, I feel more confident that we are leading great lives like our good neighbors.

The new goal for my life for the next four months is to lease at least 0.15 acres of land for farming. This is because I would like to do farming yet I have no piece of land to facilitate the same. Accordingly, I will save the income from my casual work and the transfers that I get from GiveDirectly to finance the project.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I am happier that my two children who are at secondary school have ample time to study. As a single parent without any source of significant income, it has been a challenge to raise funds for paying school fees for my children. Accordingly, I expect great performance from the two children. Indeed, GiveDirectly came at the right time to support me and restore my confidence as a mother.

I expect my life to change drastically in the next six months. This is because I will be running my own grocery business. Accordingly, I will be getting more income that can be utilized to finance other family projects. Still, I will no longer be handling the tedious casual work. Subsequently, I will be more confident that I can comfortably supprot my children as they pursue their studies. Moreover, I will be enjoying higher self-esteem and respect from my family and the entire community because of my responsibility and hard-work in supporting my family as a single mother.

My life has currently changed, I don't beg anymore and my child who had earlier own been married to another family came back home and I have decided to take her back to school. This has given her hope again after the suffering she had been undergoing in her marriage.

I have a new goal to start leasing a piece of land. Being a single mother and in my parents house I never got a share from my parents like my other male siblings. I have been struggling a lot in casual works to feed my children but with the transfers I am getting from GD I will be able to own my piece of land in future.

My daily life has really changed since II don't struggle thinking anymore of where to get money for the school fees. At the moment my children and I are happy that we able to work like other families around and at least have some plans every other month.

Looking at the six month ahead I expect to have gotten a piece of land and will really be seeing a productive farming since I will no longer be buying food as I now do.

I have a new goal to start a milk-buying and selling business and God's willing I also have a long term goal to buy my own piece of land.

My life has really changed since this money has made my life good and thinking of the two years of being a GiveDirectly beneficiary it gives me hope and at least giving me a new vision in life.

My expectation is to see see an ease in school paying task which have been a great problem for sometime now.

Looking at my daily life, I feel relaxed nowadays and no more struggle. I used to depend so much on borrowing and everything I was doing was meant to pay the debt but at the moment I get paid whenever i complete an assignment.
