The last four months my life has been different in that I have been able to pay school fees arrears for my children in time. This was a great step in my life because I only used to pay their arrears when my children were sent home. This is because my income could not meet our needs and spare some to pay their fees. GD transfers have helped reduce most of my needs and I was able to pay their fees in time. Since the year began, they have not been sent home for the same.

In the next four months, I have a new goal of putting up a new house. Since my house burnt down two years ago, I have not been able to put up a house. I plan to buy building materials with these transfers so that I can build a house for my family.

I have been having a sardines business which has been my main source of income for the last three years. My whole family and their needs were all dependants on the income from the business. Due to many needs from the family, the business had started scaling down because I was not boosting it in any way. I was afraid I will soon lose the business. I used the transfers to boost my business by adding more stock to the business to increase my profits. I am glad the business is now doing quite well and profit margin has increased.

In the next six months, I will have built a house for my family. I plan to save my transfers so that I can buy building materials. In the next six months, I will have managed to put up a new house for my family courtesy of GD transfers.

Currently, I can afford to earn money monthly to buy food easily as I can add the transfer to my income and spend it on food throughout the month. I also managed to buy the building materials like iron sheets and poles that I plan to use in building a bigger house that will comfortably accommodate my large family.

I plan to save and furnish my house by buying furniture and other household items to beautify my house.

The biggest difference in my daily life right now is that I have been able to buy building materials that I still plan to use in building a new house. I have a house that is so small that can hardly accommodate my large family. I still look forward to having a very big house to comfortably accommodate my growing family.

I plan to build a new house that will see my family live in a bigger house. I also expect to save more and buy furniture and other household items to beautify my house. I believe my home will be the envy of the entire village when I shall have finished building it.

With GD transfers, I have been able to pay a major part of my daughter's fees balance. She used to be sent home because I was not able to pay school fees since the little income from casual work was not enough to feed the family, buy household items and pay school fees for her. After I started receiving the transfers, I have been able to pay her fees on monthly basis, which has been a relief on me. I feel I have found the solution to all my problems with the transfers.

My new goal in the next four months, I would want to buy household items such as seats, utensils and new bedding. After my house got burnt, life has been a struggle since everything got burnt in the house.

The biggest difference in my life since I started receiving these transfers is that I have building materials such as iron sheets and nails which I want to use in building a new house. The house I have been living in is small after my main house got burnt. I have been struggling to raise money to build a new house through casual work but it has not been possible due to my low income. With GD transfers, I have been able to buy iron sheets and nails which I will use in building a house of my preference. I would not want to struggle as I have in the past.

In the next six months, I would want to buy hybrid seeds and fertilizers which I will use on my farm. When I get a good harvest, I will sell some money to raise money to buy household items and pay fees for my daughter.

My life is currently different in that I do not have to spend at my relative's homes any more since I have managed to build a new house for my family. This brings alot of joy to my emntire family.

I am planning to farm sweet potatoes, maize, and boost my current fish business to help me generate income that will enable me sustain my family.

The biggest difference is that I have been able to build a new house thanks to the transfers I received from GD. Sometime this year I was faced with a calamity, my house burnt down to ashes and the cause of the fire remains unknown so I was left homeless surviving at my relative's homes. This was embaraccing untill GD came through for me and now I am doing much better.

In the next six months, I expect my business would have picked and the returns will be much more than currently it is. My family will have enough food to eat and my children's school fees will no longer be a problem any more.

The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving payments from Give Directly is that I can pay school fees with ease, my son finds humble time to study in school unlike before when my son was frequently sent home for fee.

Currently I am staying in a very small house since my main house got burnt, therefore I am very hopeful in the next six months I would have built a bigger house that comfortably accommodates my family members.

My life is currently different because I have monthly income and I do not find any difficulty in paying school for my son who is in Secondary School

Currently I do not have any new goal because I have not finished paying school fees for my son which was my major goal.
