My additional goal in the next four months is to add more chicken to make it to 100 birds. I believe when I got to this number, I will be able to earn good income. This will enable me to cater to my family needs with less struggle. I will also be able to realize the long term goals that I was almost giving up on

In the last four months, the biggest differences is that I managed to construct a good poultry house with the money I received from GiveDirectly. I invested in poultry farming so as to enable me to raise enough money and afford a decent living. It will allow me to easily buy food for my family even if I don't get casual jobs to do. Before I would hardly cater to my family with the little income from the manual jobs. To bring this to an end I opted to spare part of the money to invest in poultry farming. and in the last few months, I have been earning much than what I expected. The eggs I collect on a daily basis allows me to have balanced meals and earn more income. This has really improved my living standards and I thank Give Directly for enabling me to reach this goal.

In the next six months, I will have bought a cow. This would guarantee my family a continuous supply of milk throughout the year. I believe when we have enough to use and surplus for sale it would cut our daily expenses. I will instead earn more income through the sale of milk. I feel good I am growing on a daily basis. I am now actualizing dreams I had for a long time because I now have enough capital to make the dreams come true

My life is currently different in that we no longer stress ourselves on how we are going to meet the basic household needs for the family. GiveDirectly transfers have helped us a lot in meeting these basic household needs as well as pay school fees for our children.

My additional plans for the next four months is to be able to save enough money to be able to buy a dairy cow. We are currently spending a lot of money to buy milk for the family. This is very costly while the money used to buy the milk could have as well been diverted into other meaningful uses for the family. I plan to do this through savings made from the monthly transfers and other income generating activities that we engage in as a family.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have been able to pay school fees in time without fail. I used to find it hard for me to balance between payment of school fees for my children and at the same time provide the basic household needs. With GiveDirectly transfers, I have been able to save up enough money and be able to meet these daily needs as well as pay school fees for my children.

I expect my life to change in that I will have more assets for the family and therefore a rise in the living standards of my family. Once I buy the dairy cow then we will have enough milk supply for both consumption while we sell the surplus produced.

Initially, my children could stay at home because of lack of school fees. This is because mostly our income could not meet both food and schools fees need. Mostly, we could prioritize buying food. Thanks to GiveDirectly. We able to pay school fees on time using the transfers. Now I have been relieved from a lot stress.

My new goal in the next four months is to buy more chickens. Because of the good income, I am enjoying from the sale of eggs that I currently produce I want to increase production. I will manage this using the transfers I get to buy more chicken.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I was not having a dairy cow but now I have. Because of drought that affects our area, we could not harvest anything from our farm produces. This was our main some income that we could use to buy milk for consumption. It was very expensive and so I desired to own a dairy cow to reduce spending a lot of money buying milk daily. This came true after getting the transfers from GiveDirectly. I used them to buy one.

I expect in the next six months God willing to have purchased a goat. This will assist me in the future to pay school fees for my children. I will manage this by saving the transfers and the income I get from poultry keeping.

My life is currently different because there is more happiness due to income at the end of every month.

I am planning to expand my poultry project to be a source of income for my family.

The transfers have enabled my kids to get their basic necessities and household items.

I expect to have put up the poultry house and bought more chicken and increase vegetable farming.

I have started thinking of building a house and started keeping livestock, I never thought I would do such before because it requires alot of capital.

I can now sustain my children, I can pay their school fees and feed them well. I am now a hopeful person am no longer frustrated with life.

I will believe that after six months I will have built my house and star livestock keeping.

It has made work easier, I feel the burden is lighter therefore i dont struggle so much with the casual jobs i used to do.
