In the next six months, my focus is on saving more money to comfortably pay school fees for my siblings. I wouldn't want them to have interrupted studies that will, later on, affect their performances. I want them to have the best so that they can have equal opportunities in life every other child.

The biggest difference is that I bought a cow now we can have our own milk and I have been able to pay school fees for my siblings as well. This is a huge step ahead because before we had to purchase milk from our neighbors and it was costly hence on several occasion we went without breakfast. My siblings were constantly home on school fees. This interfered with their performances but that is no longer the case anymore given that I have been able to pay their school fees.

In the next six months, I am certain that my siblings will be attending school smoothly without any interference like before where they were constantly sent home for school fees. I have set aside some money to purchase another cow to increase milk production. This will also boost our livelihoods when we sell the extra milk after setting aside some for household consumption.

Alongside the agricultural production, I have been working on other goals within and outside our household. Currently, I have an additional goal to ensure that I purchase a heifer in the next four months. I have been fully participating in the merry-go-round which I expect to receive my turn in December. Our group consists of 15 members and each member has been contributing 1500 KES monthly. The total contribution according to my projection will be enough to purchase a heifer worth 15000 KES and used the remaining on other household requirements.

Receiving transfers from GD has been of great importance in my life. It has really impacted my life a lot bringing in a lot of differences. The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is the improvement of my agricultural production. This money has enabled me to improve my venture in agriculture and in turn, it has ensured food security and an additional source of income. Currently, I am planting maize and beans under an acre and a half piece of land. Thanks to GiveDirectly for the great support they have been giving us.

Going forward, I really have a lot of expectation given that my transfers from GiveDirectly are still on. In the next six months, I expect to see much-improved farming compared to the level I am in now and also I would wish to have purchased a heifer. I have confidence that all these are possible since the transfers from GiveDIrectly are coming every month without skipping which will enable me to keep funding the merry-go-round I joined.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that I no longer buy milk from my neighbors. Before it was so costly for me because I used to get some amount of money from my business of grocery. Currently, I'm able to sell milk at the nearby market center and I earn an income through that.

My new additional goal is to save money in a merry go round group that we have in our village to enable me to start a poultry project. This project will be earning me a daily income through the sale of eggs at the market center nearby. I will use the money to pay part of the school fees for my children in school.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have bought a dairy cow. I used to save some money in the merry go round group that we started in our village immediately after the first transfer. When I received my share, I used all the money to buy a dairy cow and we no longer buy milk like we used to do before. I'm a business lady and I sell groceries at the markets and this earns me small money which cannot take care of all the basic needs at home. Owning a dairy cow was not possible because I could use all the money on basic needs. Currently, I earn an income from the sales of milk at the nearby market center and I saved the money to use in paying school fees for the children in school. I'm so grateful for the support.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have saved enough in the merry go round to enable me to buy five goats. I know that investing in livestock always aide in times of emergencies and also in paying school fees.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago since I have gained more self-esteem with regard to supporting my family after purchasing another cow. Hence, I believe that my two cows shall multiply and produce milk for consumption and sale. Besides, I am more confident that my children feel happier and more optimistic about a bright future because I have managed to provide adequate food, clothing, and other basic needs.

The new goal for my life for the next four months is to expand my poultry farming. Currently, I have only five hens. I look forward to having at least 30 hens in the next four months. I will rely mainly on the transfers from GiveDirectly to finance the project.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have gained more confidence with regards to supporting my children because I am a single parent. This is because I have managed to buy another cow. I am now having two cows. I believe the cows shall reproduce and multiply. Consequently, we shall have lots of milk for consumption and sale to sustain my family. Thus, I am more hopeful that my children will successfully pursue their studies because I will have funds for paying their fees.

I expect my life to change significantly in the next six months. By that time, I will have purchased another cow. Consequently, I will be enjoying higher self-esteem and confidence in regards to supporting my family. Besides, I will be having more milk because at least one of our cows will be lactating. Consequently, I will be saving money which could be used to buy milk for use by my family. Still, we shall be leading healthier lives because we will be enjoying sufficient milk and other food items. Additionally, I will be having more income from the sale of milk and eggs.

My life currently is different since I have been able to join merry go round group.

The new goal I now have is to buy a cow then later a plot.

The biggest difference in my daily life is happiness since I no longer have to borrow anything from others.

I expect my life to change in that I will no longer be buying maize flour since I will have harvested them and will be having a cow of my own.

My goals is to buy a cow which with time will multiply and also act as source of income through sale of milk. These will help me get money for buying food for my family.

Currently, I am planning to buy a cow with my payment after the next transfer.These will help me save KES 50 I spent on daily basis to buy milk. I therefore believe these savings will help me meet other personal needs which I would rather not meet if I would have never receive the transfer.

In the next six months I expect to have improve my economic status since I got milk for consumption and for sale.

The biggest difference is that now we have a cow which we bought after pooling together the money with other family members. My family members are now more united than ever before since when we received these transfer, we all sat down and decide to help one another to raise a good amount to help individuals to have a meaningful item. These will improve the livelihood of our family and economic standards.
