My additional goals in the next four months are to procure farming inputs. I am planning to buy seeds, fertilizer, and even hire labour that will assist me in working on my farm. I also hope that once this goal is achieved, food shortage will be something of the past for me and my family.

The biggest differences in my daily life for the past four months is that, I am decent. Earlier on when I did not have money from GiveDirectly, I would wear clothes that were torn and dirty. The biggest challenge that I had was that I had no money to buy new ones or even second-hand clothes. I only prioritized food for the family because this is a basic necessity that we can’t do without. I also note that nowadays I have the ability to seek medical attention where necessary and therefore I feel my health is no longer at stake since I am able to treat myself.

In six months' time, I expect to have grown food crops and will be at the peak of harvesting. I hope that I will have plenty of food purposely for my family's livelihoods. Enough harvests would mean that I can even sell some so that I can pay school fees for my children who are currently in school.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago since I have been able to adopt good farming practices. Before my crops would be infested by pests and the produce was usually low in terms of quality and quantity. It glad since it was a different case this year since apart from topdressing my crops, I was able to apply pesticides on time. Due to this, I am hopeful that my produce will be of good quality and I will be able to get high quantity this year and this will ensure food security for my family.

The additional goal in my life for the next months is to save some money to use in paying school fees for my son who will be joining a tertiary institution this year. It has always been my prayer to see all of my children become successful in life and God has answered my prayer as my last born son will be joining university this year under government sponsorship.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer in that I have been able to build a chicken coop. Due to this, destruction of our crops in the garden has reduced and at the moment, my wife can now sell vegetables to my neighbors hence earning an income through it unlike before when our chicken would destroy them.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that my son will have joined university so that he can further his studies. With this, I will be a fulfilled parent knowing that he is soon going to achieve his life dreams. My only concentration will be to ensure that my family feeds well and that my son at school has enough money to use in buying food.

I can now afford most of my family's basic needs such as food and clothes. Even though I could meet this before,I sometimes had to really struggle to do so. I now afford these needs without stressing myself on where I can get casual jobs to do to earn money. I am leading a happier family and nothing could make me more proud than this.

One of the additional goals that I have in the next four months is to erect a ceiling in our house.We have a big house but temperatures rise much higher during the day. Erecting a ceiling will make our house much more habitable than it is now. I also have plans of making sure that I save enough money in preparation to meet my daughters needs as she joins college in the next few months. This, I plan to do by saving enough money from my dairy business and the monthly transfers that I get from GiveDirectly to be able to meet the said costs.

For a long time, our compound looked so disorganized and ugly. It was also difficult for us to contain the family livestock within the compound as we did not have a perimeter fence. Over the last four months, I have been able to pool resources together and fenced our compound. It now looks nice and a good place to call home. Milk production for us has also gone up following the increase in quantity and quality of animal feeds that we use. I have been able to make more money from my dairy business that has consequently seen me meet my family's needs with much ease. This has been the biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months.

In the In the next six months my daughter shall have joined university and this means that I will have more responsibilities bestowed on me. I plan to save more to meet the needs of my daughter in terms of school fees and other school needs that may arise as she joins campus.

My life is currently different because I have better clothing and shoes unlike before where I used to put on one pair of trousers.

I am planning to do in filling of tea plants where they did not grow.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that these transfers have enabled me to buy enough feeds and medication for my poultry and livestock.

I expect to have bought good furniture and a roofing mat in my house.

I have new goals of joining a Sacco, buy shares and take a loan which I will use to start a business which will help me repay the loan and also use part of the profit I will get to upgrade my life.

My life currently is different since by the end of the day I will have bought tea seedlings which I could not have them had I not received the transfers. This will increase the size of my farm under tea plantation hence will increase the bonus I get at the end of the year.

I expect my life to change in the next six months since I will be in a Sacco and whenever I am short of cash to use I can easily take a loan. My life will also be different in that I will not have to do more casual work in order to get money.

My daily life has changed since my family will no longer miss one of their meals due to lack of money to buy them.
