In the next four months, I am planning to develop myself by first expanding my household, then purchasing utensils and other furniture that was missing in the house to make it look more lively and presentable.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the past four months is that I have been able to sustain my household as far as my daily meal is concerned. Before I used to do casual jobe to earn a living and with my age, this was so tiresome. There are countable days that I went without meals simply because I did not get anything out of casual jobs. But now, I am guaranteed daily provision thanks to the monthly transfers.

In the next six months, I am hopeful I will have started the project of expanding my house. As it is currently, I cannot store my farm harvest because it is small. I am planning to put an extension that will allow me to store all my harvest and other properties well.

Currently my livestock are well. They had fallen sick and I was afraid I would lose all of them. I am able to take care of my livestock well, they have a very clean and safe shed to sleep in too.I also paid a contractor to build my new house. I had a very old house that was on the verge of falling. With the transfers, I was able to buy the materials to build a new one and I can brag that my family now has a beautiful and safe place to live in.

I wish to expand on my livestock rearing by buying more livestock to add to the flock.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months has been the fact that I have bought livestock for rearing. My society values so much anyone who is able to rear livestock as it is equated to being prestigious. I have always wanted to venture into livestock rearing but it was impossible to do so as I had some pressing issues like paying school fees for my children and also making sure food is on the table daily for them. I cannot thank Give Directly enough for their immense support as I fulfilled this dream.

In the next six months, I expect to save and buy more livestock to expand my livestock rearing. I will have a very large flock that I would not have to worry about any financial constraints. We can get milk for sale and also consume some to nourish us.

There is a difference because I have a new stock of birds which I never had in the past. One thing I like about this venture is that it keeps me on toes every other day. I live alone in the house alone so I always have to make sure that I dedicate most of my time into handling the birds and the livestock.

I plan to add more stock of the chickens because that is where my passion lies. I love doing more of agricultural practices and that is why for me my main focus right now is to dig deeper into keeping livestock.

I have seen a lot of changes in my life within the last five months because I have been able to buy chicken and sheep which I keep and rear so that I can be able to benefit from them into the unforeseeable future. One of the benefits is that the chicken can be sold out at a profit in the future when they finally mature, and the same applies to the sheep.

I expect to buy a cow and a pig so that I have a huge stock of livestock within the next six or seven months to come. In order to have this stock in place, I will need to be financially disciplined and dedicated to my work so that I give it the best and also get the best quality out of the business.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that, I can buy materials to make Jikos easily. previously, I could sell charcoal or do casual jobs to get money for purchasing raw materials that were needed for making them. Today, I buy the material easily using the payments and my customers get the jikos ready for sale. I no longer delay on restocking them unlike before.

My new goal is to buy sheep because it is a source of investment. I know that in a few months time I can be able to sell some and use the money to take care of my needs.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I was able to lease land where I plan to heavily invest in farming. I have been practising farming in a small piece of land where I was limited to planting a single crop because the soils where exhausted hence getting less yield. I am glad that I got this great idea when I started getting payments. The joy of owning an extra piece of land makes me happy because I am sure of getting more yields which my family will enjoy.

In the next six months in that, I will have extended my business to a big shop where the Jikos can be readily available. When this happens, I am sure of getting more profits which I can easily use in taking care of my daily needs.

I have a new goal of starting horticulture. I had once thought of doing it but I didn't have the capital, now that I'm sure of receiving money from GibveDirectly monthly I believe I can do it.

My life is currently from the way it would have been if I ddi not receive the money in that if it was not for the money I wouldn't be having poultry by now.

I expect to have a bigger house in the next six months so that whenever I have visitors I won't have to take them to my neighbor to host them.

The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving the money is that for the first time in my life I have owned poultry and this makes me so proud.
