My life is currently differently in that I have a cow for rearing to add to one that I already had. I am in a savings group that I joined when I started receiving the transfers from GiveDirectly and when I finally got the lumped savings, I bought a dairy cow. I am glad that soon when it calves, I will be able to sell the extra milk for an income.

My new goal is to lease a piece of land within the village to plant some maize plants. Our piece of land is quite small and cannot accommodate all the farm activities that we wish to venture. This we hope will do well and when sold will improve our financial status.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am in a better position to provide the basic needs for my family comfortable. Before, I used to wholly depend on casal jobs, which sometimes is unreliable. This, at times, forced us to sleep with little food in our stomachs. I am also in good books with our local shopkeeper because whenever I take goods on credit, I am always prompt.

My expectation in the near future is to buy a piece of land to improve my agricultural activities. I currently live in a small rocky piece of land. This limits me in how much agricultural activities I can do in this piece. The extra piece of land will allow me to keep my livestock comfortably while at the same time have some space for some food crops.

Currently, my life is different from how it was before I started receiving transfers from Give Directly. Since I don't entirely depend on casual labor to earn a living makes life easier. Initially, I would overwork my self by doing several casual jobs and walking long distances in order to reach my daily target. I am also less worried about how I will provide for my family. I also no longer fear loosing my assets because most of the time I am not at home doing other businesses. Previously I would be away for days and even weeks and the safety of my properties couldn't be guaranteed. Since I am now working mostly on my farm, I am at peace now. The peace of mind is priceless because I have worked very hard to achieve the little I have acquired in my life.

My next goal is to add another cow in addition to the current stock. I have always loved rearing a number of cows because I always view them as my savings. Whenever I have an emergency, I would use them as leverage by selling some. It is always wise to have a backup plan so as to be prepared in case anything happens. I am hopeful that they will reproduce and will help my family in times of need.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am happier and more ambitious in life. The fact that I haven't sold any of my assets especially with the drought that just ended, I feel proud of my self. Initially, when such phases of droughts occurred, I would find myself selling sell some of my cows in order to meet my family's needs. This time around, I didn't sell any of my assets and my family was still able to eat and meet their basic needs. I must thank Give Directly for supporting me, I couldn't have managed fully by myself.

My next goal is to ensure I get a good harvest. I am doing everything to ensure everything is done at the right time and the necessary inputs have been used. This will ensure that we have enough food for a better part of the year and I would not need to spend too much money on food. I can even sell some the extra sacks to help me earn money. I will add it to my savings and later buy a piece of land once I have accumulated enough money

My life and that of my family is a more healthy and happy family since we started receiving the transfer. We now eat good food and we spendbmore time together as family unlike before when I used to spend so much time working and toiling in order to earn.

My new goal for the next 4 months is to build a new house because the one we using now is old and it's starting to get weak.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am more dedicated to do my own farm work now unlike before. Since I am the breadwinner of my family, I had to look for casual jobs to do and this meant that I was in most times out of home. When I started receiving the transfers, I started spending more time at home and working on my own farm because the transfers is now used for the basic requirements at home and I can see some development here in my farm.

My expectation in the near future is to buy a piece of land. This will allow me increase the size and scope of land that I till and will also offer enough grazing ground for my livestock. The piece we are currently living in is limited in terms of size and does not allow for extension of farming.

My life currently is different since I now own a phone and I no longer go looking for some casual work to do.

The new goals I now have is to plant some beans.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I no longer go looking for some casual work to do daily since I stay at home and look after my livestock.

I expect my life to change in that I will have improved in my farming practices and will have planted beans in my farm.

My new goal is to start farming for income generation and constant cash flow all through out the year.I want to start poultry keeping and plant tomatoes for selling and home consumption. These is achievable by saving part of the transfers and later putting all those goals to action.

My life currently is different in that I don't worry too much.I am now with my family since this transfers has helped to be close to them because I used to travel to far towns to look for jobs which at the end of it transport took almost half of my earnings.My health was also not good since I was not eating well and over working too much but now am healthy and happy to be home all the times.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will be financial free since my poultry business will be up and running. Have my children well taken care off in terms of food and education.

The biggest difference in my life is that I can comfortably support my family with ease and mostly spend more time with them unlike before I had to travel far to look for jobs. Educating my children and also feeding was quite a problem for me but for now with GD transfers which I know is constant for sometime am able to plan ahead and use it appropriately.
