My goal in the next four months is to save in a merry go round group and buy sheep. I will buy it fto ensure that I havea growing investment even as the transfer ends.

The biggest difference in my daily life is being able to keep my child in school. using the transfers to pay school fees has given me joy . I nolonger

I expect to have two sheep in my compound.

Two of my children are currently in high school and the weight that comes with the payment of school fees is quite a heavy one. My spouse used to struggle to pay from his small business and I could chip in with the little I get from farming. When we started receiving these transfers, I started saving and then use the savings to pay some part of the school fees. This has reduced the burden that almost entirely lied on my spouse. I am happy that my spouse can now focus on investing in other income-generating activities that will help us in our future plans.

Now that we are almost done with the transfer, I want to start saving and buy a heifer for rearing. This will in the near future be a source of income to us from the sale of milk produced. This will also be an asset that can come handy in case there's an emergency that requires money because it can easily be liquidified.

Since I started receiving the transfers from Give Directly, I have never gone a day without the basic needs and the small household items that are used at home. Before I started receiving, my children would sometimes take sugarless tea or just a small snack for lunch and I could clearly notice their discomfort. I am glad that now I am able to provide enough food for them and I am happy for Give Directly for enabling me to do this.

My expectation in the near future is to have an improved lifestyle and future for my family. I want my children to have good health and excel in their studies by ensuring that I cater for their school fees. Seeing my children excel in both school work and the general life will make me a happy parent and that is my prayer.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because I have gained the capacity to support an orphaned child. Besides, I have more food and money for supporting my family. As a result, my family tends to be more jovial and healthy. Still, I am optimistic of a huge harvest because I managed to hire a tractor to plough my land unlike before when we used to dig it with our hands. I also managed to buy and plant high-quality seeds and fertilizers.

The additional goal for my life for the next four months is to buy and raise at least 15 hens. I chose to prioritize on poultry farming because it seems easily affordable to me. Moreover, poultry farming demands less labor and takes a relatively short time to mature. Thus, I will use my savings to finance the project.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have afforded to pay school fees for all my three children who are at secondary school. Besides, I have managed to pay college fees for my daughter who has just joined college to further her studies. I have been saving the transfers through table banking to finance education for my children. Still, I attained some financial boost from my husband. Overall, I am happy to ensure that all of my children further their studies by paying fees on time.

I expect my life to change significantly in the next six months. This is because I will be getting more income from the sale of eggs that I get from my poultry. Besides, we shall be having sufficient food in our household since we shall have harvested the maize that we planted last month. Additionally, I will be getting milk from at least one of the cows. Subsequently, we shall be enjoying a balanced diet. Still, I will start a new business of buying and selling tea to gain more revenue for supporting my family and paying school fees for my children. Thus, I will be leading a more optimistic life.

My life is currently different because these transfers have enabled me to buy adequate food for my small baby.

I am planning to use the next transfers in payment of school fees for my kids

The biggest difference in my daily life is that these transfers have enabled me to buy school texts for my kids, access enough food and buy medication for my family.

I expect these transfers to help in payment of school fees for my kids and boost farming.

I am planning to increase my poultry stock so that school fees burden is reduced and I will no longer sell maize for school fees. I am planning to grow healthy by eating well.

My life is currently different because where I was seemed dark but when GiveDirectly came I felt like the Israelite's when they were crossing the Red Sea.This is because the promise I had made at school concerning school fees payment has been fulfilled earlier than the promised date.

I expect that my children will no longer lack food,school fees and clothes in the next six months.I also expect to have adequate farm inputs like vegetable seeds and maize seeds which was quite difficult in the past.I expect love and unity to increase between the donors and Kenya.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that these transfer has enabled me purchase a book required by my son in high school and also to clear fees before the time I had promised to pay.With these transfers I now have peace of mind because my son will stop calling me and asking for the set book required at school.
