My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because l am now able to sleep comfortably without turning every now and then at night because of uncomfortability. I am also staying in a very spacious house.

My new goal is to start saving the transfer that I usually receive from GiveDirectly with the aim of buying a dairy cow for rearing. The fact that I love taking milk tea and buying milk every day is expensive motivates me to do this. Once I have this cow, the milk produced will be used for household consumption and the rest for commercial use.

The biggest difference in my daily life is the comfort I am getting when I sleep after I managed to purchase a bed and a good mattress. I had been sleeping on the hard floor on a mat for a long time and this was so uncomfortable. My whole body could ache all the time, I am now having comfortable sleep that sometimes I end up over sleeping. I thanks to GiveDirectly for making me live like a queen . I am also able to stay in a nice well ventilated modern house enough air circulation compared to before when I used to stay in a very stuffy house.

In the next six months I expect to have managed to save enough money and bought a mature dairy cow that will start producing very first.

My life is full of hope and better whises for the future. I am able to buy drugs that have greatly improved my heath status. I can easily do my duties without involving anyone neither depening on someone else. I feel so happy being that I am no longer a bother and the gossip of the village, who could go begging for food and support.

My ambition is to improve on my farms for better harvest. With good preparation procedures, I expect good yields and better return. Subsistence farming is the main occupation that I fully depend on. I also intend to do some horticultural farming as an additional activity to add on my income. I have a land that borders a seasonal canal which can support the growth of vegetables during dry season. I believe that the shortage of vegetables that we experience during dry seasons in this community, will be a great opportunity for me as a supplier, extending to the neighborhood as well.This will increase my economic power to provide for my household sustainably.

The biggest difference in my daily life is improved nutrition. I have been able to take breakfast, lunch and supper which was not very possible in the previous months. Nowadays, I feel stronger and healthier being that I no longer have the stress and worries on what to eat. The meals are full of balanced diet and in satisfying quantities. Some ailments of malnutrition are gone stories. I have been able to pay school fees for my granddaughter who is a partial orphan. She has improved in her accademic performance, being that she never misses lessons and exams. I make timely payments before they are sent home..

My ambition is to buy a cow in the next six months. This will provide me with milk that hopefully will improve on my nutrition and cash flow as I shall sell surplus. I also intend to make some ghee that fetches well in our local markets. With increased sources of income, I will be reasonably liberated from the bondage of poverty.

The difference is that currently, I no longer work hard as before to put food on my table.

I am planning to save with a women's group and earn money to start a business.

The biggest difference is that at my age I would struggle to earn a living. But since the inception of the transfers, I have been getting monthly transfers that facilitate

My life will be peaceful and less stressful. I will have saved money and started a business that will help generate income.

New goal that l did not have before receiving the transfer is to start dairy farming and also to start a small scale business of selling cereals.

My life different if l could not have received transfer is that l could not have manage to buy ironsheet to complete building my house.

I expect that in the next six months l would have completed my house and start staying in it

The biggest difference in my daily life since l started receiving payments is that l have manage to do large scale farming that l have never done before since l spent the whole of the first transfer on farming.
