I have a plan of starting a poultry business, this is because it is not expensive to manage and also it does not require a lot of money to establish since I want to majorly concentrate on the local breeds. I thought of it as a source of income and as to employment too. I am the firstborn and I have to think outside the box to enable me to help support my younger siblings by paying their fees and also other basic needs. I think coming up with this business will both help stabilize my family financially, at times we go without food due to lack of money, I would wish this to stop once I have a source of income.

I thank Give Directly because I could not have reached where I am today. I stay with my grandparents but they are old thus they can't do jobs that require a lot of energy., thus we depend on my uncle for support of our livelihood. I always say Give Direct is God sent simply because I had dropped out of school after my uncle just decides not to pay my fees, this pained me a lot because I had only a year ahead to finish my fourth form. I did not stay for long at home, then Give Directly came. Once I started receiving money from Give Directly, I resolved to invest it in paying my school and now I am finishing my Secondary School Education, hence this is the greatest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer.

My major expectation is to expand my poultry business once I start it off . I believe in myself as a hardworking person, once I establish it, it will be a source of my daily income to enable e to take care of my younger sibling. I thank Give Directly for empowering us economically to enable us to be self-dependant and also uplift other people's lives.

I am more independent now because I do not have to bother my grandmother to help me financially. I have been able to buy my own stuff and pay for my school fees. Before I started receiving the transfers, I would see my grandmother struggle soo much to earn income to buy food and even pay my school fee. I sometimes stay at home for so long when she runs up and down trying to raise the school fee.

The new goal that I have is that I plan to save towards buying chicken for rearing and also buy building materials that I plan to use to build the chicken pen to help safeguard the poultry. Poultry farming will help generate more income hence raise our living standards as a family.

In the last four months, I have been able to save and pay my own school fees. I do not have to fully depend on my grandparents and uncle for the school fees anymore. Since I started receiving the transfer, I have been able to have time to study in school as I have ample time due to the fact that I am not sent home always to get money to clear outstanding fee balances as I clear the balances in time.

I am expecting my life to be different in a big way in the next six months. I plan to start up a poultry rearing business to help generate more income. I have always wanted to venture into poultry farming but I could not do so as I earned a meagre income from farming. I look forward to having a constant source of income for my family.

The biggest difference is that I have been able to avail all my school requirements on time. This includes school fees, books, and other administration fees. This has seen my performances improve greatly. This was not the case before when I depended on my uncle to support me. At given days I could stay back at home for weeks waiting for him to send me money. Missing classes that later on transcended to poor performances.

In the next six months, I am planning to use my transfers to clear my school fees. This will help me improve my performance for there will be minimal disruptions of schools fees or any other monies needed from school.

The biggest difference is that I have been able to avail all my school requirements on time. This includes school fees, books, and other administration fees. This was not the case before I started receiving the transfers, I was frequently sent home for school fees and this really interfered with my performances.

Once I am done with paying my school fees, I am looking forward to building a small house where I can study in as well as have my own privacy. Currently, I spend at my grandparent's house.

I am now in a position to attend classes without failure due to lack of fees.

My life will change because I will be able to pay my fees in good time in addition to buying school items in good time. My learning process will now be much easier than how it was before.

I have an easy time right time when it comes to paying school fees. I do not have to be absent from school like I used to do before.

At the moment, I am only planning too use the cash to pay for my fees.
