I do not have a new goal other than investing my next transfers on purchasing chemicals for spraying the cabbages which I currently on a seeds bed. Apart from that, I would spend some amount to hire people to cultivate my farm. All these investments I will give me a net return of approximately KES 30000 within a period of four months. This is why I don't want to invest in any other new project

In the past four months, I have been able to carry out my farming activities without straining. Initially, I entirely depend on casual jobs which were unreliable in most cases. These jobs used to consume most of my time hence making my farming more difficult. Now I am able to carry out farm practices on time hence getting high yields.

In the next six months, I would have harvested and sold the cabbages. The approximate income I expect to get from this investment is about KES 30000. I plan to spend part of this money to buy a cow and the remaining portion to start a family. I intend to get married soon and I look forward to this harvest so that I would have enough money to sustain us for a few months as I look for other means of generating income.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that I no longer do much of the casual jobs in the village but rather work on my own farm. I'm so much grateful for the support.

My new goals for the next four months is to continue saving money after sales to enable me to buy a dairy cow. This project will also earn me an income by selling milk at the shopping center.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have started to concentrate on my own farm unlike before where I could do much of the casual jobs in the village. I used to work on my neighbor's farm and the money I could get was not enough to meet my basic needs and at the same time buy farm inputs. After I started receiving the money from GiveDirectly I was in a good position to buy the farm input like the fertilizers and seeds. Currently, I sell the produce at the market and I'm able to generate an income through this. I meet all my basic needs and save the rest to join a college in the near future.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have got the money to join a college. I will not struggle to raise school fees.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that I have been able to lease a farm where I have been able to plant some beans. I am optimistic that this will change my life since I will be able to sell my produce and get money to use in daily needs. I used to only depend on my small backyard that could produce less than a sack of maize that would not last us long. After leasing the farm, I am sure to get some income from it by selling some of the farm produce.

At the moment, I do not have any new goal for the next four months but my new goal for the next one year is to join college so that I can further my studies. It has always been my dream to do so since without education in the current world one may suffer a lot. Education is considered as the pillar of a successful life. I thank Give Directly for enabling me go back to school and making my dreams look achievable.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I am more hopeful and have a positive attitude in life. I decided to invest in Agriculture since I used the transfers to plant some vegetables seeds which are now on a nursery bed. I believe that vegetable farming will earn me a sustainable income even after I have completed receiving transfers from Give Directly. This will save me from depending on casual jobs alone.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have gathered enough money to use in paying for my school fees. I will no longer be doing the hectic casual jobs with the aim of accumulating my college fees. I must admit that the transfers have changed my life and is continuing to change it because I am less worried and more ambitious. With me acquiring a course, I believe It would land me a good job some day.

My life is currently different because I am hopeful for a bright future.

My new goal is put up a shop. It will be a source of income for us. I will use income from selling farm produce to rent space and buy stock for the shop.

My life feels like it is progressing. This is the biggest difference in my daily life. Earlier it felt as though we were stagnating and plateauing. Give Directly transfers enabled us to plant our crops and we are expecting a harvest and an income thereafter. We used to plant crops for consumption only due to limited funds for seedlings, fertilizer and fertilizer.

I expect my life to improve economically in the next six months. I will be having a better income from the shop and farming. Give Directly transfers will also give me a boost.

My new idea is to start up a business and run to get a profit. I am now trying to look for a good business with which I will be able to start with GD payments.

Unlike before I receive thee payment I use to struggle to get money for buying farm input. Now my burden is ease as I will spend part of these payment to buy chemicals and am spending much time now attending my crops.

In the next six months I believe I would have started a business using GD unconditional payments which will help me to improve my livelihood through income from profit.

Biggest difference in my life is that now I got a reliable source to fund my farming activities. Unlike before I use to struggle to get money for buying chemicals for my plants. Now am assured of good harvest which am sure it will give me a good reward which I will use to improve my living standard.
