My major goal is to buy a piece of land where one day I will put up my home. I thought of the idea because I have surety Give Directly will give us money for a longer period of time. This will also be a remembrance of Give Directly transfers in my life together with my family.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that my children are no longer sent home for school fees. I am a driver though the little I get from my job is not enough to cater for the needs of my family members. I have school-going children and the major challenge I had is how to raise their school fees. Before I started receiving money from Give Directly my children were often sent home for fee balances, I am glad that is not the case today.

I do not expect any change yet because I am in the process of achieving my goal of buying a piece of land using my Give DIrectly transfers. I am saving part of my monthly transfer towards buying land since this is my major dream in my life. I am grateful because I am already seeing progress since I started receiving money from Give Directly.

In the next four months I have plans of building a new house. The current house that we stay in is too small and for a long time I have had the desire of building a more spacious one. This is after I get my monthly merry go round contribution which is happening within the next four months. I am looking forward to accomplishing this dream since I know it will make my family happy and make me a proud father as well.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I have acquired a dairy cow that I did not have before. I used money obtained from my merry go round contributions and this cow has already reproduced. This has saved me a great deal in the cost of buying milk that had always rendered me broke due to its expensive nature. I have also been able to lease land and practiced farming which has led to increased food production for the family. We are now more food sufficient than we were four months a go and this has enabled me to raise a more healthy happy family.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I shall have brought the building of my new house to its completion. This will pave way for other key investments that are geared towards improving the livelihood of my family. I am particularly concerned about the small size of land that we stay in that does not provide enough space for farming. Once we are done with house construction, we shall shift our focus to buying a piece of land by pooling our resources together as a family to buy this piece of land. I anticipate that this shall be made possible within the next six months and I am looking forward to accomplishing this with my wife.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in My children are no longer sent home to collect school fees like before. I also have enough milk for my family and sell the surplus to meet the additional needs.

My new goal for the next four months is to continue saving the money in the merry go round group to enable me to buy a piece of land . This will be a grazing field for my cows.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have bought a dairy cow. I used to save some money in the merry go round group that we have started in our village and when it was my term to receive the money I spend it to buy a dairy cow. Before I used to buy milk and it was so costly for me. I could do the casual jobs in the village and the small amount of money I could get was not enough to meet all the basic needs. Currently, I have enough milk for consumption and even sell the surplus at the market to meet the basic needs of the family and also pay school fees for my children in primary school.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have saved enough money to enable me to expand my acre of farming I will be in a position to buy seeds and fertilizers needed for that project.

My life is different in that I have been able to build a poultry house and increase the number of chicken that I keep. The proceeds from the eggs have helped us meet most of the basic needs without having to struggle as much as we used to do in the last four months.

In the next four months, I want to hire more land and plant onions in it. Onions does so well in our soils and I am sure that we will make more income as a family when we plant the onions. Getting more income from my onion farming and maize farming will enable me pay school fees for my children and meet other family needs that could arise.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I have been able to buy a cow for my family. I had always desired to own a dairy cow that would help me feed my family without having to stress myself on where I can get money for feeding the family and other family needs. This, I did by taking part in a merry go round that was started here in the village after the commencement of the transfers. I have also been able to hire land that I have since cultivated and planted maize in it. I will be harvesting my maize in the next few months and this means that we are going to have abundant food supply for the family while we sell the surplus to meet other family needs.

In the next six months, I will have more land under cultivation. I am setting my eyes on maize and onion farming with a view of making enough money to help me raise a happy family and meet all the needs. With the proceeds from my farming, I will be able to buy building materials that will enable me to build a new house for my family. The house that we are currently staying in is too small for us and I am looking forward to constructing a new one for my family.

My life is currently different. Initially, things were tough for us. The burden is lighter for me because Give Directly transfers have given me a helping hand. I have been the sole provider and now things re better because my wife and I receive the transfer and things are better. Meeting household needs is less weighty for me now.

I plan to buy a cow that will give us milk for sale and consumption. This is my new goal. We currently do not have a cow and we buy milk daily. So the cow will cut the milk expense and be a source of income at the same time.

I was able to take my children to a private school. This is the biggest difference in my daily life. They used to go a public school but now they are getting better education because this has been my desire. I am grateful to Give Directly for sending us the transfer because it enabled me to pay the fee.

In the next six months, I expect to buy a piece of land. We live in a small space and we need a bigger space to live in and take care of livestock. In six months' time I will harvest the beans and onions that I have planted and sell them. We will combine what we get from the sale with Give Directly transfer savings to buy the land.

My new goal is to save money i receive in order to buy a dairy cow.

Currently, I see my children happy because my they eat well.I have also cleared school fees and the child is stable in school.The child is spending all the time required in school since he cannot be sent home for school fees anymore.

In the next six months.I will be having chicken ,sheep and dairy cows.Also,my child will also be well in school without disturbance of being send home to collect school fees.

The biggest is that i afford food for my family. I don't borrow from the village anymore.I buy food stuff that will last me a month.I am feeling happy and sleep well when i go to bed without stress for fear of facing the following day.
