Currently, I have been able to meet most of my family's needs without having to borrow money from either my friends or relatives. I feel so proud and at peace, because I do not owe anyone. At the same time, I have acquired two goats which will act as assets in the future when hopefully they shall reproduce and increase in number and guarantee me financial support whenever I sell some.

My new goal for the next four months is to save the monthly transfers that will serve as capital for setting out a small shop business. This business will change my life for better because it will generate income for my family development even after GiveDirectly had already phased out its project in my village.

The biggest difference in my life daily life for the last four months is that I have been able to do quality farming. Before, I used to wait until my neighbors have harvested their produce so that I can hire laborers at a cheaper wage. This was very expensive and inconveniencing. I am glad that I have been able to afford the farm input and pay labor in time for the preparation of my farm for the short rainy season.

I majorly rely on farming as the main source of income but since I have a small piece of land I have always got limited production from it. Therefore, I expect in the next six months to use the coming transfers in renting an acre of land farm where I will expand my farming. With this, I will have an assuring improved produce.

My life is different from how it would have been four months ago is that we have always had food in the house. As a result of a good harvest from my farms and my monthly income from GD, I have always ensured I buy food in bulk once a month which has helped in feeding my family. In the past, this could not happen because I did not have the money to buy food in bulk. I am glad I don't strain as I used to before.

My new goal in the next four months is to renovate my kitchen whose roof is leaking. I want to use these savings to buy building my materials such as iron sheets and nails to use in replacing the kitchen roof.

In my life, I have always depended on farming as my main source of income. Since I have always used local methods to farm, I have not managed to get the kind of harvest I have always wanted. The harvest has not been much from using local seeds and without fertilizers. I had desired to have an improved harvest but I could not manage because I did not have the resources to use advanced methods. Therefore when I started receiving these transfers, I used them to buy hybrid maize seed and fertilizers which I have used on my farm. I am glad to say my harvest has really improved from the usual 2 sacks to 7 sacks of maize in the last two harvest. This has really changed my life.

I expect my life to change in the six months in that I will have renovated my kitchen. This is where my grandchildren always sleep and they have a difficult time sleeping in it especially during the rainy season. I would want to end the struggle once and for all by renovating the kitchen roof. I want to give them my best.

Currently, my life is different since I am able to sleep comfortably after replacing the torn and shuttered bedding. Therefore, I am productivity during the day unlike before when I used to have torn and shuttered beddings that predisposed me to cold during the night which lead to respiratory attacks occasionally.

I have always yearned to make a living through rearing livestock hence my new goal for the next to last four months is to save money and invest in goat rearing project.

Previously I used to work for three to four jobs and this was strenuous which affected my health. The biggest difference in my daily life for the four months is that I have been able to boost my business with the profits. For instance, it's been easy providing for my family with ease without straining much hence my health has improved.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I shall have saved money and invest in buying a goat and after its reproduction in future I will sell some and use the profits to buy a dairy cow since, with the dairy cow, I believe I will earn an extra income through the sales of milk to cater to my family's needs.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because my business is now doing well and l can not go without putting food on the table.

My additional goal in the next four months is that l want to do large scale farming of potatoes, doing this will boost my source of income.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that l manage to boost my business which was almost collapsing down, and it is now doing very well and l am getting enough to sustain me with my family.

In the next six months l expect to have started saving to pay for my daughter collage fee .

The biggest difference in my daily life is that my business has grown. I am now making more profits.

In the next six months,I expect my life to change for the better with my business having expanded more and better from how it is currently.

Were it not for these transfers,I could have never boosted my current business and I could have never thought of saving too.

My new goal is to buy a livestock for rearing.
