My additional goals for my life for the next four months is all set for buying a cow. This is a long-time investment that will play an important role in providing milk for the family. I am sure that milk will also be sold so that we can raise some money for family use. Again, milk is good food for good health and therefore a plus for my young family.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I am able to see and observe the house which I built for my son. My wife died a few years ago. We are left alone and I am the sole provider for my family. My son is almost ripe for marriage and building him a house is supporting him in this course of life. Once he gets himself a woman, she will be beneficial to the family since she will be doing house chores that were once done by my late wife.

In six months’ time, I hope that my son will have brought a wife. This will mean that an additional member for the family and kind of replacement for my late wife will come to help us in household chores. My son will have completely gotten hopes in life after losing when her mother died. It has been a real struggle for him coming to terms with the death of her mother. Transfers from GiveDirectly have given us hopes in future and psychologically stability at least for us to plan ahead.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that I am happy having already cleared school fees and bought school uniform for my son. He can now study peacefully without having to worry about being sent home. Besides, Having supported my other son to complete his new house, my house is no longer squeezed like before as he already moved out to sleep in the new house

My new goal in the next four months is to invest in poultry farming. this will really boost income through the sale of eggs as well as birds when the stock will have increased. With the proceeds from poultry farming, I plan to purchase a goat for rearing. At the moment, I do not have any and with the possession of one, I will have really improved my reputation in the neighbourhood as well as a personal asset

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I am happier because, at the moment, I no longer strain to purchase maize for consumption since I am currently harvesting the one I planted four months ago. This has really eased my burden and so no longer strain to look for casual labour. I now have enough time to concentrate on my farm

In the next six months, I expect my life to have changed because my poultry project will have picked up and I will be having an additional income. I will no longer strain to do casual labour for a living.

Before, I would hardly get enough money for buying food and paying school fees for my children as I would only depend on the casual job for a living. My children used to be sent home for school fees as I couldn't afford to pay their school fees on time. Now am happy that they are no longer sent home for fees as the monthly transfer which I received from Give Directly I spend part of it to pay their school fees. Now am happy seeing my children being in school like others as they can now concentrate on their studies.

My new goal is to start poultry farming. I have always desired to do this because due to my illness which I have been suffering from for long I will be able to do it. Due to my low income, It has always been just a dream. Now that I get monthly income from GiveDirecly I will invest in poultry farming support. I would like to buy chicken so that I can have a sustainable income through the sale of eggs. From this, I can sell the chicken and eggs to raise money for other financial needs without having to depend on others.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I built a house for my son. I lost my wife long ago and taking care of my children has been a struggle for me. Since my son is full grown up he had nowhere to sleep and he used to spend at our neighbour's place. Now have constructed a house for him and he has a comfortable place to sleep, I fell so happy as a parent.

In the next six months, I believe I would have started poultry farming and I will be financially stable. I expect to earn money through the sale of eggs. This will enable me to get money for paying school fees and buying household expenditure.

My life currently is different since I am now in the process of building a house for my family.

The only goal I now have is to build a chicken pen and buy some chicken.

The biggest difference in my daily life is happiness since my children now days have food to eat.

I expect my life to change in that I will have built a chicken pen and will have also bought some chicken.

since i no longer have the energy to do various kinds of jobs, I want to build a poultry house and buy chicken for rearing. This will help in paying school fees for my son in high school.

Right now unlike before, i am able to think beyond my ability and have more hope in life because i have money to help me in medication and other expenses at home.

In the next six months, my wish is to have improved my lifestyle in the kind of food i eat and also the house that i will be living on. I also want to be paying school fees for my son comfortably .

The biggest difference in my daily life is the dependence on my brother. I used to depend on my brother daily for food and for medication that i use on a daily basis, right now that dependence has reduced greatly because of the money that i receive from Givedirectly..
