My plan for the next four months is to ensure that I continue paying children's school fees and meet our daily necessities such as food for my family.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am making use of my own piece of land now. Before, I was forced to lease out the piece of land in order meet my children's school fees and other family needs. The transfers helped me meet these needs and I decided to utilize the farm myself than leasing out. I am glad that I would soon harvest my crops and I am currently planting long term cash crops in it. I am also happy that I am able to pay my children's fees regularly and thus they aren't sent home for school fees as it was before.

After the lease period for the person I had leased my land to came to an end, I decided that since I am able to meet the needs using the monthly transfers I get, I decided not to lease it out. I have started planting tea seedlings in the said piece of land, though in a small portion. My expectation in the next six months is to ensure that I continue planting the remaining portion. This will in the future be a constant source of income and it will help us meet our basic needs and ensure my children get the education because I will have the capability of paying their school fees.

In the next four months, I plan to start a livestock business. I will trade in cattle to make some profits as a broker. The trade is quite profitable in this region because as one links farmers' cattle with the markets, there is a lot of profits that can be made.

The biggest difference in my daily life is the reduction in the amount of hard labor that I had been doing to provide for my family. School fee payment, and providing food for the two families that I have always demanded too much from me. I used to do more than one casual jobs on a single day that strained me physically. Because of the transfers, the amount of menial jobs that I have to do has reduced allowing me time to work on my own farm. In fact, I have utilized my farm instead of having to lease it out to get cash to feed the family. I have farmed it on my own and is doing a tea crop that will start earning me continuous income from the next year.

I expect to have stopped working for low wages doing menial jobs. This is because my tea crop will have started yielding. Many crops will also be in various stages on my farms which means I will be more productive. My farm will be doing well additionally, I will be running a livestock selling business. All these sources of income will greatly make my life better.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because at the beginning of the year, I had no farm produce to sell for income and so my children were always sent home for school fees. With the transfers I got, I decided to clear their term school fees and I no longer have to worry about their wellbeing both in school and at home

My new goal for the next four months is that I am planning to spent the next transfers to plant more tea leaves seedlings for resale. the demand of the seedling is currently so high as most and so I expect to have a high income

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now happier having succeeded in transplanting tea seedlings which I had planted in the nursery in October last year. This is really a great step in my life and in future, I will have a constant income from the sale of tea leaves. The money I will be getting will really sustain my family daily needs

In the next six months, I expect my life to have changed because with my new project in mind, i.e, sale of tea leaves seedlings, will boost my income. The money I will generate from there will enable me to start a cattle-selling business. By doing this, I will have diversified my income sources and will no longer depend entirely on the GD transfers

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because I feel more hopeful of a better future. I look forward to a huge harvest from the maize and beans that I planted using the transfers from GiveDirectly. Unlike before, I had a timely planting and used adequate and high-quality inputs including phosphate and seeds since I had relatively enough funds. Besides, I spend more time working on my farm because of the increase in my projects - I have afforded to buy and even planted some tea. Hence, I leverage much of my energy and time on handling my own projects. I chose to prioritize on the maize and tea crops to attract more income in the future.

The additional goal for my life for the next four months is to plant at least 0.5 acres of tea. I will dig out the holes and transplant the tea seedlings that are currently at the nursery. This will mean a lot to my family in the future in terms of income generation.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I spend more time and energy working on my farm unlike before. This is because I have managed to buy and raise my own tea seedlings. I chose to prioritize on tea farming to ensure I have a good amount of money to spend at my old age. Moreover, I will sell the tea to raise school fees for my young children who are yet to join secondary school. Overall, I feel more optimistic about a better future.

I expect my life to change drastically in the next six months. This is because some of my tea will have matured. Accordingly, I will be getting some additional income after selling them. Moreover, I will be some of my long term vision including poultry keeping will materialize. Still, I will be saving lots of money which could otherwise have been used to buy food for consumption. I will have harvested the maize and beans that I planted last December. Subsequently, I will be selling some surplus to fetch income which will be used to pay school fees for my children. Besides, I will be hiring some individuals to work on my farm, something that has never happened to me.

My life currently is different since I have been able to improve my farming practices and my children now days have school uniforms like other student.

The only goal I now have is to build a cow shed for my cow.

The biggest difference in my daily life is happiness since my children have been able to acquire school uniforms like others.

I am planning to buy farm inputs like seeds and fertilizer using next transfers.

My life is currently different because I have managed to pay school fees for my daughter of which was quite a challenge for me.
