Currently, my life is different from how it was before GiveDirectly came into my life. I am now able to save some money unlike before when I could squander everything I got on a daily basis. My business is doing well because I was able to boost it with part of the money which I got from this organization. My children also used to lack a lot of things but I am glad that I am able to take care of the needs easily at the moment

I don't have a new goal at the moment. I want to continue saving. I want to buy a motorcycle or land where I can build rental houses. I am still doing research for what will work best among the two and what will be required of me to ensure that whatever I settle on becomes successful.

I kept part of my transfer as savings. I want to buy land or a motorcycle later depending on what I will have accumulated. The two assets are capable of changing my life since they can both generate income and supplement what I normally get from casual jobs. I also managed to boost my business. This business is what I have been depending on. I have operated it for two years now but it was not doing well. Actually, I can say that it was almost collapsing and I had to boost it a little so that it can gain its momentum.

Before GD came to be, I used to do business but in small scale. The stock I had could get over and many days I was forced to close down because of lack of stock. Currently, I am among the shops with all kind of clothes both men, women, and children. This had seen my customer base increase because of consistency and quality. My revenue income has also increased.

I currently do not have any new goals apart from the one of building a better a house to save on the rent that I pay monthly to my landlord. With the new house, I will have more freedom and even channel the amount th\t used to pay rent to my business.

When I received my recent transfer, I spent a bigger chunk of the money on my savings. I am planning to build a house to channel the money I pay on rent for my business. This way, it will boost my earning. The remaining amount I restocked my second- hand clothe business and I now enjoy the profits from the business.

My new additional goal is savings in our group. If we join up well as a team and realize the dream of buying a piece of land and building rental houses, I know we will have a good life because that is an investment which appreciates yearly and requires very little maintenance.

The biggest difference in my life is my business. I used part of the transfer to boost my cloth business by adding more stock because it was almost no more. I had used most of the resources from the business for my family needs and I was not re-investing anytime I had money. This really affected the sales and the capital. When I received the transfer, I remembered where the business started from and how it has helped me. I went and added more stock and am glad it's picking up well. I know when I get higher profits, I will be able to solve most of my family needs in time.

I spent my first transfer on savings in our group. The savings will be used in buying a piece of land for building rental houses. This will be an investment for my group and an income generating asset. I also used part of the transfer boosting my cloth business by adding more stock. The rest of it I used on paying school fees for my children so that they may not be sent home and to buy school requirements such as books, socks and pens.

I was very happy because I had never received such amount of money in my life before. I just thought this was a promise NGOs make but don't fulfil. I never went for my normal casual work at a construction site because of the kind of joy I had that day.
