In the next four months, I am will still be in school studying business administration looking forward to starting my attachment. I am so excited.

I am a student studying business management in a college in Bomet county. Before the transfers, my husband who is a driver used to pay my rent, school fees, and upkeep. This was not easy because he also had to carter for the expenses back in our rural home. I saw the burden he had but I could not support him. After receiving my transfers, I now pay my house rent and part of my upkeep. This has reduced the burden on my husband's shoulders.

In six months, I will be in attachment learning ways around my career and how to grow into it. I will be close to clearing the first part of my course as I wait to advance as education does not have an end.

My new goal as of now is that once I am done with school, I want to open and run a beauty and cosmetic business. I am a business administration student and apart from the proceeds that the business will remit, I will also be putting to use the skills and knowledge acquired in school.

I am currently a student at Daystar University and I am expected to pay my house rent every month. Ever since I enrolled in college, the monthly transfers have always gone into the rent. I am happy that I do not need to pester my spouse with the rent issue as he is already dealing with other responsibilities. This, I can say has been the biggest difference in my daily life.

My expectation in the near future is to start and run a successful cosmetic business. It has always been my desire to run my own business-specifically a beauty and cosmetic business. This business apart from being a source of employment to myself and probably two other people, It would also be a source of income for my family. This will allow us to improve our lifestyle by being financially stable, I will be in a position to take my children to good schools.

My life is currently different in that I have been able to gather enough school fees and avoid the incovenience of having to stay home for lack of school fees.

My additional goal for the next four months is to start a small business. I will have completed my tertiary education and I can embark on cosmetic business.

The biggest difference in my life over the last four months is that we have been able to improve the number of assets that we own from poultry to now sheep.

I expect my life to change in that I shall have started my cosmetic business which shall enable me to pay school fees for my children

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that my husband pay my school fees without any challenge. This is because currently I support him to buy food and other family basic needs using my transfers. He therefore uses the money he gets from his job to pay school fees and he no longer struggles to provide for my family. My family also have enough food since I use part of my transfers to buy food.

My goal for the next four months is to start a poultry project.This will be a source of income and I will be able to support my husband pay my school fees. During this period, I will be in teaching practice and the income I will be getting from the poultry project will cater for my basic needs. My family will also have a stable source of income from the sale of eggs.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that it was a challenge paying school with little money my husband gets from his monthly salary as a driver. He used to struggle to pay my school fees and also provide for the basic needs of my family. At times my family could eat little food and could even go hungry when he did not get money to buy food. Currently I support my husband to cater for the family's basic needs such as food using my transfers. My family can now have enough food and my husband no longer struggle to pay my school fees. Thank you Give Directly for the cash transfers.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have started a poultry project. I am planning to save part of my transfers and use my savings to start the project. This will be a source of income and I will sell them in future and use the income to start a retail shop which will bring more income to my family. This will enable me support my husband pay my school fees and that of my child who will be joining school next year.

My life currently is different since I now have some chicken and a sheep which I did not have before.

The new goals I now have is to join college and further my studies since I want to be a nurse.

The biggest difference in my daily life is happiness since I do not lack anything nowadays.

I expect my life to change in that I will have joined college to further my studies.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have started a poultry farm using GD money.

My new goal is to improve poultry rearing.

Before I received the transfer I had no poultry farm. I started it with GD transfer and also planning to venture into maize farming.

I expect to have improved my poultry farming in the next six months.
