I had an accident in the year 2015. As a result, I stopped doing my business in livestock and chicken trading and started relying on my shoe mending job. Income from this job, however, was not enough. I had been under a long time of food insufficiency until when GD, came. I am a happy person as I can provide for my family just like before. In fact, I have a chicken project that I rub. I started the venture with the money from GiveDirectly. Today, as we speak, I have some eggs that I have already collected. This daily income form the project is giving me a good lively hood, unlike back when I used to rely on my job as a cobbler. I am been able to pay school fee for my child too!.

My additional goal is to join a group in order to raise money enough to buy a cow. We have already talked about it with my neighbors and will start the contributions with the coming transfer.

The biggest difference in my daily life is the ability to pay school fees for my child in a secondary school. I have used the last four months transfers to pay for her school fees with ease despite having a disability. I would not have gotten any money and I am certain that she would have stayed home without a chance of education. Several years ago, I was involved in a road accident that left me physically challenged hence cannot actively engage in serous activities, I quit my lucrative business in big faraway markets and resorted to shoe mending in a local market. My childs education suffered as a result but GibeDireectly made it possible. I am so happy to see her go to school just like I had planned for her before the accident.

I expect my life to have improved in the next six months,.My poultry project will have expanded and my daily income will be higher. In addition to this, I will be a livestock keeper as I will have a cow that will be heading towards milk production. I am confident because all is set now for a mwrry go round group to raise money for each one of the members to buy a cow. My life will have improved greatly.

My life is currently in that I have been able to feed my family during the recent famine. Using the transfers, I bought some foodstuffs with each transfer keeping my family well fed over the last four months. Being physically challenged, my family is very vulnerable because my wife's income is not enough for all the needs especially during hard times such as the recent drought.

My next goal is to start a shoe mending and shining business. I intend to do this because I can't do a lot using my artificial leg supported by crutches. I want to do this in order to add to my income sources.

The biggest difference in my daily life is the constant source of income form the poultry keeping that I initiated using the transfers. As we are speaking now, work is going on to improve my poultry house. I bought a wire mesh and I am enclosing an area of 30 meters in perimeter. This will allow me to keep my birds safe and well. I will no longer have conflicts with my neighbor because if the chickens are free, they are destructive to some crops. I am already making money from the investment since I collect more than ten eggs a day and thus will meet my daily needs quite easily.

I will have started a business. Selling shoes and mending them is one of the ways in which I will be generating an income. I also expect to be doing well with egg production in the next six months.

My life currently is different from how it was four months ago in that my children are at school and also can supply enough food for my family. In the past, it was challenge to pay school fees but now it is easier because I pay school fees every month using the cash transfers hence they are not sent home. I can also support my wife to buy food for my family from part of the transfers. In the past, my wife could provide everything for the family with little money she gets from casual work in the village. Thank you Give Directly for the cash transfers since I can now support my wife to buy food for the family.

My goal for the next four months is to open a shop where I will be repairing shoes. This is because currently I do shoe repair at home and sometimes I do not get customers who come home hence I earn little income. Opening a shop will bring in more customers and income hence easy to pay school fees and also cater for food for my family.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that in the past I used to struggle to pay school fees for my child.I was involved in a road accident hence my leg was amputated and therefore I cannot do much of the casual work to raise the school fees. My wife used to struggle to pay school fees from the little money she gets from casual work such as weeding people's farm. This impacted so much in their studies since they were often sent home to collect school fees. I used the transfers to pay school fees for my children and currently they are in school throughout the term and they are now performing well. Thank you Give Directly for the cash transfers.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I am planning to start a new business where I sell shoes so as to earn more income.This is because currently I only depend on the Give Directly cash transfers to pay school fees for my children. Starting a new business will therefore bring in more income to my family hence I will be able to pay school fees and also cater for family needs such as food.

My life currently is different since I have been able to pay my children's school fees with much ease.

The only goal I have is to see that my children go to school.

The biggest difference in my daily life is happiness.

My expect my life to change in that my daughter will have finished her high school education and I will have also started keeping chicken.

my new goals is to start a shoe mending business.I will also buy replacement soles in order to make an income from selling and replacing them for people.

My life is currently different in that i can be able to borrow money from people who have because they know i will repay since i have transfers from givedirectly. initially i couldn't borrow because i dint have anywhere to expect an income. This has made my life easier because i get money to spend whenever i am pressed buy a need.

In the next six months my life will change since i will continue to receive this money and make savings in m_shwari .i will then buy sheep to keep in my farm

The biggest difference in my life is that I am able to meet daily basic needs for me and even the daily education costs.
