I am planning to buy a tailoring machine for my daughter who already trained. This is also one way in which I am trying to find employment for her so that she can sustain her family as well.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I have been able to fully pay for children’s school fees. I am now a stress-free parent after ensuring I have completed school fee payment for them. Unlike before where they were being sent back every time, I feel that I have done the best by ensuring the same do not occur.

In six months’ time, I expect to have already saved enough money and would have bought a tailoring machine for my daughter who just completed technical training in tailoring. This way, I will be happy as a father seeing my daughter earn an income of her now that employment opportunities this country has always proved hard to get.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that I have been able to build a house for my family. The one we were previously living in was grass thatched and replacing the old roof every year is always costly. At times, our clothes and beddings would get soaked in rainwater during rainy seasons when I did not have money to renovate the roof. I am now glad since my family is now living comfortably in our newly built house.

The additional goal for my life for the next four months is to buy a water tank. I will use the savings I will be given in our group to achieve this. In addition to this, I am planning to buy a heifer in order to increase the number of dairy cows which I own.

The biggest difference in daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have been able to buy four goats for rearing. It has always been my dream to invest in dairy farming and since buying a dairy cow is expensive, I decided to be buying goats since they are cheaper and they reproduce within a shorter period. When they reproduce and increase in number, I will sell them and use the money to buy a dairy cow and add it into my herd of livestock.

In the next six months, my life will have changed from how it is now because I will have bought a water tank for my family. My wife will no longer be walking for a long distance looking for water for domestic use. In addition to this, I believe that I will have bought a heifer. I will be saving the money I will be getting through the sale of milk so that I can use it to achieve this. Increasing the number of dairy cows has always been my dream as it will lead to an increase in my income through the sale of the surplus.

I have savings in merry go round group as I use a part of the transfers in the group. This was not the case four months ago as my small income form the job I do as a house caretaker is barely enough for food. I am also able to pay school fees for my children and even provide food using a part of the money I receive on a monthly basis. without Giedirectly, I would not be saving any money and at the same time, I would still be struggling too hard to pay school fees. As for food, I am sure we could still be skipping some of the daily meals because I would still be relying only on my casual job.

I don't have any goals as I will spend the money on the needs that come along the way as I get the money.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is the livestock I own as a result of the transfers. I used the money to buy goats that I now keep as an investment. The goats have multiplied and I now have 8 in total. I can get money any time I have a major need as I can sell it to raise the money. This has given me a sense of financial security.

In the next six months, I will have bought a dairy cow and will also have leased another piece of land to add to what I currently cultivate. This two will be additional sources of income to what I currently have.

My life is currently differently because I have bought tomatoes which are now in a nursery bed and two sheep.

I am planning to plant tomato seedlings come next month so that they are ready for harvest in January next year and I also intend to venture into poultry farming.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that these transfers have enabled me to more happy because I have bought tomato seeds and two sheep.

I expect to have harvested my tomatoes and get money for future use.

I am planning to start own business like buying and selling of cattle.I would like to improve my life by hiring a piece of land and planting three months crops like tomatoes and onions.I am also planning to add chicken layers every month.

My life is currently different with these transfers because there is increased happiness.When you have no money you can easily die of stress.

I expect my life to have changed in six months because I intend to buy tomato and onion seeds for planting using these transfer.In four months after planting they will be ready for harvesting hence will sell and have more income.

The biggest difference is that I am happy that I have bought two chicken layers that remind of me GiveDirectly.
