I invested part of my transfer on buying fertilizer, hybrid seed and hiring people to help me with farm work. I thank God through Give Directly I managed to have a bumper harvest this harvesting season. We are now eating well because I have enough food to provide for my family. I managed to sell part of my produce to pay fees for my school-going children. I am proud to say my current life is different from the last four months because I am able to pay fees for my children with a lot of ease without straining unlike before.

I have been longing to start a vegetable business because people are eating daily and I believe I can't fail to get customers. I have achieved my initial goal of plastering my house now working extra hard bt saving part of my transfer in my mshawri lock account towards starting my dream business. miss to have customers.planning to open vegetable business for daily income. This is the additional goal I have in my life in the next four months.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I am living in a clean dustless house after using my transfer to plaster it. I have been saving since I started receiving my transfer from Give Directly, this has enable me to pull my funds together and eventually bought enough sand, stones, and bags of cement I used to plaster my house

I believe in the next six months, I will be having a stable business hence a stable source of income. I will be in a position to take care of my children with a lot of ease.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because l am now staying in a nice plastered house where I do not to worry about dusty. The house is always very neat as compared to before when the whole house was always dusty.

My new goal in the next four months is to save and start a business of selling domestic goods. By doing this I will be able to get money and become independent , where I am able to support my spouse in household expenditure and do my own personal things without depending on my spouse.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I manage to purchase plastering materials and plastered my house since I was staying in very dusty house which was not good my family's members health since some of them are asthmatic. I was also longing to stay in a nice plastered house like my friends who I am with in some merry go round groups, being that majority of them has plastered house. I also manage to buy cow for tilling my farm since I have been using my own hand to till my farm and this has be tiring, in that some times I end up tilling a very small portion, where at the end of the day I do not get enough produce.

In the next six months l expect to have started doing business where I will be getting money for my up keep and also to support my spouse pay school fee for our children.

Currently, my life is different than it was four months ago because I can easily acquire foodstuffs for my household. I do not have to exclusively depend on casual jobs in order to bring food on the table for my family members. I am always able to get food and I do not have to miss some meals in a day. My husband and I, have also been able to pay school fees for our children so easily. We rarely struggle even to buy for them school stationeries.

In the next four months, my new goal is to prepare and acquire fertilizers and seeds which I shall plant on my farm. Since farming yields much in my area whenever there is adequate rainfall, I shall be able to get a good harvest which will support my family for some good time. I shall, therefore, not spend money on buying cereals because what I shall obtain from my farm will comfortably support my household.

In the last four months preceding the current transfers, the biggest difference in my life is owning a cow and two sheep which I bought with the savings I built from GiveDirectly's transfers. I had never kept such livestock all through my life. To me, this is one of my greatest achievement in life. I hope they will increase in number and be a source of financial security to my household.

In the next six months, I expect to start up a salon shop in the nearby center. This will provide me with an opportunity to diversify my source of income. Once the salon picks up well, I shall be able to earn more income and easily support my children to comfortably pursue their studies and succeed in life.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because l manage to buy c dairy and now l am sure of not spending money again to buy milk from my neighbor.

My additional goal is to put up a salon next me house, since right now l am working from the house and so many customers doesn't like that, so loss most of them.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that l manage to buy dairy cow with savings l have been saving from give directly and now l will not be spending a lot of money buying milk from my neighbors.

In the next six months l expect to have put up the salon and getting many customers.

I am grateful to Give Directly because since I started receiving payments my life has really changed, my children are no longer sent home for fee balances because I pay their school fees on time.I do not borrow food from my neighbors since I am able to provide for my family unlike before when I had not started getting money from GD, I had many debts.

I expect to have established a decent shop where I will be doing my saloon business because it is also my source of income.

I have seen a big change in my life because I do not have many debts unlike before when I had not started receiving the transfer.I pay school fees in time hence my children are happy because they have humble time to study thus we are currently staying happily.

My new goal is to build a small shop where I can do my saloon business because it will also be convenient to all my customers, than doing it at home.
