In four months’ time, my new goal for my life is to venture into shoe selling business. I am trying all the best to get into some work which increases my income generation and also expands my sources of income as I prepare myself to even school fees payment for my children.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I currently own a cow which I am rearing. The transfers have really helped me realize this wish which I did not think I would ever achieve. I also hope that once the cow has calved, I will be in a position to have plenty of milk both for family use and for sale. Selling would mean that my family would not be struggling on daily needs provision since we will be using the money we get from the sale of milk.

In six months’ time, I expect to have already bought my piece of land. This way, I will have moved out of my father’s land since I will have also built a house for me and my children. I have been living in my parent’s house and it is always not welcome for a lady to do so. So to avoid conflicts which may later arise in the future from my brothers I believe that I will have done the best decision ever courtesy of the transfers.

My life has improved because I am able to feed my family very well. I also feel good being part of the people who brings food to the table. Addiyionally ,I can meet my own personal needs, unlike before when, I used to rely on my oarent. I know that I will have invested soon.

I dont have an additional goal .However, I sometimes lend part of the money that I receive to my mother to use in her charcoal business. It is helping her to expand it.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the way I am able to take care of my needs without relying on my mother. It was verry difficult for her to fend for all of us but she doesnt have to strain anymore. I used the money I receive from GD and that I get from doing casual jobs on foodstuffs for the household. Because of this, we are well fed unlike before.

In the next six months, I hope to have established a small buainess that will be generaying an income. I wish to do this so that I stop relying on menial jobs that are rarely available and pay very little. I will be making money on a daily basis.

My life is currently different because I easily meet my daily needs using the cash I get on a monthly basis. I have been able to provide for my son especially in clothing. I am also well dressed and this makes me really happy. Providing fo for the family had also been my worry but this has been well taken care of. In my household, all my sisters and I contribute to buying food. My mother was the sole breadwinner in our household which was very overwhelming. I am glad that we are able to help her in meeting the needs of the family using the transfers we receive.

My next aim is to expand my clothing business. I will do this in order to increase the stock so that I get higher proceeds.

The biggest difference in my daily life is the savings that I have accumulated in my merry go round group. I will be receiving the money I have saved next month and this will be used to buy a heifer. Buying a heifer will be a good investment that will set me off well on the path to diversify my income from clothing business to livestock farming. I am so happy yo have the savings because this would not have been possible without the transfers.

I expect my life to have changed in the next six months because I will be having livestock. I will also be having a better income from the clothes business because it has now expanded.

My life is currently better. My business of selling clothes is better-stocked courtesy of GiveDirectly. Lately I have been getting better returns that enables me to sufficiently meet basic needs such as food.

I plan to buy another cow as an investment for future sale. This is my new goal for the coming four months.

I now own a cow. This is the biggest difference in my daily life and I am grateful. It will give us milk for consumption in future since we currently buy milk.

I expect to own a small piece of land in the next six months . I plan to sell the cows so as to buy land. We currently live at my grandparents'.

Since I received the transfers I have not had a new goal since I wanted to ensure that I concentrate to the goals I had set during registration and once I see them coming to reality then I may consider adding some other new goals.

My current life has really changed in that I have developed many business ideas in that compared to some months ago before receiving the transfers I now have a bigger business than before and my expectation is now high in bearing in mind that I am expecting to receive the same transfers for more than a year from now.

I am expecting a great change in that the self-help group I joined would have enabled me to buy my own cow.

The biggest difference in My daily life since I started receiving payment is that It really raised my happiness especially buying my child one of the best outfit in remembrance of GD, every time she puts it on It gives me a reason to smile and will always be thanking Give Directly for that.
