My new goal in the next four months is to hire a farm and do large scale farming where I am able to get enough produce and sell in order to get money to pay school fee for my granddaughter. I did not get enough harvest last season being that I had a very small piece of land where l could do farming large scale farming .

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am able to pay school fees for my children at the right time therefore they are able to stay in school without being sent home for school fees, not like it was before when they always being sent home for school fees and they were not able to attend to all lessons therefore leading to poor performance. I am hoping to get improved grades since they now attend to all classes without being sent home for school fee as before the cash transfer. Thanks to GiveDirectly for the positive change they have brought to my family as a whole.

In the next six months I expect to have saved enough money to lease farm where I will do large scale farming.

My new goal is to educate my granddaughter who is soon joining secondary school come next year. The girl is a total orphan and there is no one to take to support her. So I will start saving the money for me to pay her school with ease without depending on people. With the support from Give directly I will make sure she gets the best education and have a better future.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that since I started receiving the transfer I am at peace I do not need to worry so much of what I will eat because I know at the end of the month I will get some money to cater for my family needs. Before I was so much stressed and worried because I did not have stable source of income, sometimes I would stay the whole day without even eating anything. I have also earn a lot of trust from neighbors because they are sure when I borrow them anything I will definitely pay after receiving money from Give directly.

In the next six months I would have started saving the money for my granddaughter and would be able to admit her in secondary school.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because l am now staying in a very comfortable house where I am not worried of falling down it is raining. I am also able to pay school fee for my grandchildren without any difficulties.

My additional goal is to finish plastering my house mostly on the floor part, being that it is very dusty and renovating it every now and then is very expensive and tiresome.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that the wall of my house was almost falling, so when I got the money i saved most of it for sometime and spent the money, to plaster the whole wall and now l am not worried at all when it is raining, because I know it is very strong that it can not fall down again . I also started cattle farming where by I bought two goats that I can sell in future when I have emergency, as compared to before when I had nothing.

In the next six months I expect to have completed plastering my house and staying in it comfortably without worrying of it falling down while it is raining.

I have had a lot of improvement in maintaining my farms as compared to four months ago when it had to lie fallow. I spent some part of the transfer on hiring casual labor to clear and plough my farms, that I intend to plant sorghum. When land is prepared well on time, I am sure of better harvest that would improve my food security. I would also sell the surplus and save with hope of buying chairs.

I would like to plaster the floor of my house in the next four months. I have started buying bags of cement and hopefully will add some sand which is necessary for the plastering work. This will improve my environment hygiene and sanitation free from respiratory tract infections caused by dust. At least the money that I would have spent on treatments could be instead channelled to buying a cow that would provide me with milk, ghee and manure.

My life is so peaceful and free from worries. I am able to buy food without any stress, at least I am sure of breakfast, lunch and supper unlike the previous case where a meal a day was unpredictable. I was the gossip of the village and a true reference of cast family since I could go begging for food from neighbours.

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.

My life is currently different from how it was four months because l am eating very well and l also have hope of plastering my house.

My new goal is to start cattle keeping as my future investment.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that l am eating very well in that l can afford to eat meat that l just always eat at the funerals, being that l could not afford it. I am also at peace l do have too much stress as compared to before when need to of what to eat.

In the next six months l expect to have plastered my house.

I wish to educate my grandchild whom I have been taking care of since the death of his parents to university.

My farm is well kept and in good shape without much struggle like I used to.

In the six months, I want to have a goat and chicken which I have been longing to have but since I did not have money, I have not been able to have them.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have peace in my my life cause now that my farm is weeded and my farm is now doing well. I know I will get a good harvest.
