My new goal for the next four months is to save money to registered for national hospital and insurance fund cover. This will enable me to cut the cost that I spend during the treatment.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that currently, I own five goats. I depend on my brother who does casual jobs in the village. The amount of money that he usually earns is so small and only enough for some basic household items. I felt sick and my body is not strong enough to engage in any activity and this has made me depend so much on my siblings since. I stay at home and my brother usually helps me with buying my household needs. I'm so much happy in that after I started to received the transfer I have been able to buy all the basic needs and plan myself well without depending so much on them. I was able to save the money and I bought five goats. When the have reproduced I will sell them and buy a dairy cow and also gather for any emergencies that might arise. I 'm so happy because I have my own assets and I live happily without depending on anyone so much.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have saved enough money to build a better house. I live in a small house and I wish to have a spacious one which I can host visitors so comfortably.

With my health status, I always wish to make my access to basic needs easier to make my life happier. In the next four months, I wish to buy a water tank to help me in harvesting water during the rainy season. This will help me have clean water at my doorstep without overusing my brother's children to fetch water for me. I also plan to secure an NHIF insurance cover to help me reduce my medicals expenses.

I am sickling and unmarried a state that has made me live with my brother's family. Being unhealthy has made me a beggar and dependent on a condition that depressed me a lot. Even though, I could get all I needed from my brother's family my pitiable state had always stressed me since I had felt like I am a burden to them. I wished I could even afford some of my basic needs to relieve them a bit but this couldn't be possible. In the last four months, the biggest difference in my life is the empowerment I receive from GiveDirectly. This transfer has made me self-reliance since I can afford some of my basic needs. I no longer worry about my medical expenses thus feel I have relieved my brother from overseeing all my needs. This is my happiness and thanks you Give Directly.

In the next six months, I expect to be living a happier and healthier life in that I will have secure my medical cover thus will be able to attend to my medical schedules as planned. With the monthly transfers, I expect to improve my access to basic needs thus my living standard will be improved.

I have lived like a beggar for my past life and it got worse after I lost both parents more than five years ago leaving in the hands of my brother. Since I was young my health has not been good due to my weak immune system hence I have been prone to disease like blood pressure, malaria among others hence I have not been able to engage in any activity making my life a challenging one. It had been hard for me accessing my personal basic needs more so the medication that I needed the most at the right time. My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that I enjoy easy access to basic needs like food, clothing and medication being the greatest given the condition I am in. With the monthly transfers, I receive from GiveDirectlyI have been able to buy a sheep that I always take pride in. I am so happy I also own an asset that will soon multiply hence increasing my value and security for any financial needs arising more so in my older age. I am thankful to GD since I have gained self-esteem in society and always have a peaceful mind that GD money has given me.

I have been under medication for the entire part of past life and am happy am getting better as time goes by. I do not have a new goal for my life in the next four months but I will wish to focus on my medication and to keep a keen eye on my sheep.

I had lost hope in life having lived my past life unhealthy and regularly visiting different hospital a situation that has made me a helpless and always sitting to be spoonfed. Even though I had been accepted at home and given the necessary support, there are much that I had to miss out due to lack of resource. My state had made me a beggar a life that had always bring down my self-esteem. The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is the happiness and pride that a sheep I bought using part of the past transfer from GiveDirectly has given me. I am so happy at long last have an asset to call mine at my old age. I am happy that this will reproduce giving more that I will sell to meet other personal needs, especially at my older age.

In the next six months, my life to be better in that with the current state of attending to my doctor's schedule of my medication I believe I will be healthier and feeling stronger and this will be my happiness. The sheep I bought some months ago will have reproduced hence will have added another asset for me that will always act as my security for needs.

My life is currently different in that I am more healthy than I was four months a go. I have been fighting diseases for a long time and with no one to help me meet my daily needs. GiveDirectly transfers enabled me find medicine and thus my health improved. My hearing which was almost lost has been reclaimed and movement which was minimal has also increased.

In the next four months, I will have benefitted from the monthly merry go rounds that I participated in. With this money, I can be able to buy livestock such as goats to enable me meet any financial emergencies that may come my way. This will also raise my self esteem in the society as I will not be looked down upon as a poor person who owns nothing. This will be achieved through the savings of monthly transfers from GiveDirectly.

I have been unwell for a very long time. I was partially deaf at one point and not able to do any heavy duties. This left me helpless and at the mercy of any well wisher who saw it fit to help me. I had no family of my own neither did I have any children to give me hope. When GiveDirectly transfers came, At least I afforded to buy medicine and get better with time. Am no longer stressed like I used to be before I started receiving these transfers. The knowledge that I will receive money at the end of every month has given me endless hope to continue being happy. At leas I no longer rely on well wishers to meet all my daily needs like I used to do before.

In the next six months, I am optimistic that I shall have fully recovered and strong enough to engage in some of the economic activities that will empower me. I expect to own more assets that will always remind me about GiveDirectly even when the transfers come to an end.

My life currently is different since when I need something I do not have to borrow money from other people.

The new goals I now have is to buy a sheep and decent clothes for myself.

The biggest difference in my daily life is happiness.

I expect my life to change in that I will be dressing well and will have bought a sheep.

My new goal is to buy sheep so that i will be selling the off springs whenever i need to.this will enable me to live well and have somewhere to rely on despite the fact that i don't work due to my disability
