After my daughter had completed her high school she approached me and asked me to support her while she joins college she did not want to stay home for long. I am planning to keep supporting her with the transfers to enable her to realise her dreams.

My daughter recently finished high school last year. She was never sent home for school fees at any given time during the entire year. This is because GD's transfer also never failed me and I was able to pay her school fees plus any other requirements that she needed. As of now, she is waiting to join college to further her studies.

In the next six months, my daughter will have joined college and hopefully, I will have paid part of the school fees and issued her with money for upkeep. As a parent, my dream is to see my children prosper.

My life is currently different because I managed to open a saloon business for my daughter. She usually sends me the proceeds from the business which enables me to take care of her baby and pay for some basic needs hence reduced the burden.

My goals for the next four months is to start a poultry farming business. I currently have two chicken start with and my plan is to buy more chicken for rearing. This in the near future will be a source of income.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that my business is now doing better than it was before. I boosted my business by buying more varieties of goods for sale and I am glad I have seen an increase in the number of customers I serve now that they can get most of the items they were asking for before, this has increased my daily sales thus increase in income. I can now support my family financially with less strain unlike before. We now live a happy life now that I can support my family well.

I have now started a poultry business through the GiveDirectly money. I believe that I will be able to sell them in the near future to boost my finances hence reducing the financial burden. I will be able to adequately provide for my family from the proceeds from this project of chicken rearing.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because I can manage to pay school fees with a lot of ease which has been a huge burden since my husband died. I have also managed to restock my business which is now bringing in more income thus my most pressing needs can be easily met.

My additional goal in the next four months is to buy a goat. I have always wished to keep goats like my neighbours but could not because I did not have enough money to buy some. Keeping goats will relieve me of the burden of slashing the grass in my compound and I might use them investments which I might sell in case of an emergency.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have been able to pay school fees with a lot of ease. I used to struggle to raise school fee for my daughter that I would sometimes forego meals to save money for her school fees. I am so grateful for Givedirectly for the aid they are giving us. I am now relaxed knowing that my daughter will complete her studies without dropping out due to lack of school fees.

I expect to be at peace with myself knowing that my daughter's school fee is cleared and her studies are not interrupted while being sent home to collect pending fee arrears. In the next six months, I also expect to have added more stock to my shop and will be earning more income from it to enable me to meet most of my household needs.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago with the love and change it has brought to our house. We are able to think together and decide on how to spend the money as a family. We are happier now.

My new goal is to save money and do more projects I have always wanted to do like fixing my new door. I also want to continue paying school fees for my daughter who is secondary.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am stress free. I have faith and hope that I have somewhere I get money from at least every month. I do not have to worry or think of my spouse who had passed on whenever I lack. GiveDirectly is supporting me.

I expect my life to change for the better with my family having most of the things we have always lacked. We also be able to save more from that money and do not have to spend everything.

In the next six months I expect my life to change in that I will have peace of mind because I will somehow manage to keep my child in School due to GD's benevolence.

My new goal is to save and renovate my house and and buy a goat that will replicate and support me in times of emergency

My life is currently different in that I have something to hope for every other month,unlike before when things were so different.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that my child has not been sent away from the classroom since I was able to pay most of her fees.
