In addition to the projects I have started with this money, I have a new goal to start a small vegetable business. I will be buying directly from the farm at a relatively lower price and with the help of my husband who has a motorcycle, we will ferry them to the market place where I will be selling them at a profit.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is the purchase of new clothes. For a long time now, fashionable clothes have been getting in and out of the market without us wearing them since they seemed expensive. It reached a point where I had gotten a perception that version clothes are only meant for the rich class of people. After receiving these transfers, I decided to prove myself wrong by changing my wardrobe from the old second-hand clothes I had been wearing to the brand new fashion clothes. I am so grateful that GiveDirectly came into our village. Were it not for this enrollment into the program, I would not have worn this type of clothing in my life.

In the next four months, I expect to have gotten and saved enough money to lease a piece of land which I intend to plant beans on a better scale of land. The small piece of land which we own in our household has never been enough to produce enough foodstuff to serve our household and it has been my prayer that I will one day get enough money so that I can lease a piece of extra land for farming operations.

Four months ago, I acquired a lot of chickens that provided me with a daily income from the eggs that I collected and sold. I used the constant income to buy food for the household and even boost my savings in a merry go round group. Unlike before, I was able to meet my families needs. Previously, during famine like the one that just ended, my children would sometimes go to bed hungry, This did not happen this time t because of the transfer.

My new goal is to save in another round in my group so that I buy tea leaves from my neighbors and deliver it to a nearby factory. This will earn me more money from the business because the trade is highly profitable.

The biggest difference in my life came from the savings I received in April from my merry go round group. I have been saving a large part of the transfers over the last four months. When I got the money form my savings group, I used it to buy a heifer that Is fast growing towards lactation. I am very hopeful that I will be producing more than the usual quantity of milk because I bought a good dairy breed. I am so happy that I have increased my milk production capability.

I expect my life to have changed in the six months because I will have started a shop business. I will be dealing in second-hand clothes. From this business, I will be making money and my heifer will be mature and producing milk. I expect to have increased my milk production and egg production.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now own a dairy cow! We have always had an idle grazing field and we always wished we could get one. When we started receiving the transfers, We started and joined a merry go round where we saved some part of the transfers every month. When I got my savings, I finally bought a cow and soon, it will give birth and I and my family will enjoy its milk. We will sell the extra amount of milk for an income.

I have been thinking of starting and running a small business and I have decided to start a second hand clothes buying and sellingbbusiness in the near future.

The biggest difference in my daily life is the happiness and the freedom that I have. Receiving the transfers from Givedirectly has enabled me to make decisions on whatever I wish to do. Before, It was hard making some of these decisions because most of would require input of finances. I am also happy and that my kids and I have good clothes that I bought with the help of the money.

My expectation in the next six months or so is to build a better brick house for our family. Right now I stay in a two room mud walled house. Maintain and keeping neat a house made of mud is such a gruesome work and takes too much time doing so. It is also not hygeienic to stay in such a house especially for young children because of the dust. I also want my children to go to a good school.

My life currently is different since I now have some chicken and I have also been able to join merry go round group.

The only goal I now have is to buy a calf.

The biggest difference in my daily life is happiness.

I expect my life to change in that I will have bought a calf and will have also started building a house for my family.

The new goals that I have come up with since I started receiving the transfer is that I now want to start small scale cabbage farming.I also have a new plan to join one of the colleges to continue with my education.

My life is currently different in that I am happy that I receive the transfer which I made it a saving for my poultry farming that I want to start.I feel like am financially up lifted by the transfer and am happy.Although I had planned to use money that I will receive from merry go round for poultry farming, I now see using the money for other development since give directly money will fulfill my poultry farming project.

I expect my life to be better in the next six months in that my poultry faring will be productive hence will have higher income.I will have bought a cow and a sheep in the next six months.

The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving the transfer is that am feeling happy.Since I have not withdrawn the money I feel like I now have support to see my goals and plans coming true and happy about it.
