My new goal for the next four months is to buy a tailoring machine. I know at that time I will not have managed to finish the course but I will be having enough knowledge to start tailoring business to boost my income and help raise money to clear my training arrears in time before I take the final examinations.

Before the transfers, I did not have any form of income. I used to depend on my parents for all my needs. Worst of all, I did not have any plans for the future. All I was waiting for is to get married and be a housewife. This is because education-wise I did not do well hence I did not have any motivation for the future. The only goal I was encouraged to achieve with my parents is to go for a hairdressing course which is so much flooded in my area yet we did not have the finances. When I started receiving my transfers from GD, I felt God had answered my prayers. I registered for a tailoring course which I am currently undertaking and will finish in six months time.

In the next six months, I will have my own tailoring business. I plan to buy a tailoring machine which I will start using at our home before I get a permanent business premise. I will save part of my monthly transfers so that I can rent a business premise where I will start my own tailoring business. Through this, I will be exposed to many clients which will increase my income from the profits. Before the transfers come to an end, I want to have a visible change and the only way to do this is to start a business with the transfers to help me stabilise my the business.

Currently, I am able to get money to pay for a tailoring course. Since I started receiving the transfers, my life has changed so much. First, I do not spend time lazying around which can make me indulge in vices that can impact my life negatively. Secondly, I am becoming more independent by day as I am learning something that will help me stop depending on my parents for financial support. Previously, I could feel like I was a burden to my mother as she worked so hard to provide for us.GiveDirectly has really helped me have direction in life.

My additional goal is to save and buy a sewing machine that I will use to sew my own clothes besides paying for my course.

The biggest difference in my life is that I have been able to pay for a course in tailoring. When I started receiving these transfers, I saw it fit to register for this course to enable me to have a way of gaining independence some day and help my parents out of their struggles. I saw my mother struggle so much to put food on the table for both my siblings and me. I thank GiveDirectly for giving me hope and freedom of being independent someday.

By then, I shall have bought the sewing machines that I can use to start up a business to help generate income to help improve our lifestyles. I will be more independent financially as I shall have finished my course and I will have a way of earning income.

My life is currently different in that I have enrolled in college to pursue a tailoring course. I have confidence that after completing my college I will secure a job or even start my own business to earn an income and support my family which wasn't the case before where I could only do odd jobs at home.

My new goal for the next four months is to save part of my transfer and buy a sewing machine and other tailoring items. This project will earn me an income to meet our family basic needs and even to expand this project in the future.

Before I received money from GiveDirectly I was depending on my mother for everything and this was so tedious. A time my mother couldn't afford to give me upkeep as well as to provide our household basic needs which were mandatory. After I started receiving the transfer from GiveDirectly, I enrolled in a college to pursue a course in tailoring and now I am assured of my future's success after completing my studies since I will be able to secure a job or even start my own tailoring business to earn an income to support my family and even save some amount for other projects.

In the next six months, I expect to have saved part of my transfer and bought a sewing machine with other tailoring items that will necessitate the start of my tailoring business. I believe that this project will earn me an income to meet our family basic needs and also expand it in the future.

My life is currently different from the way it was four months in that I'm proud I have a sewing skill and I can now be independent.

I have a new goal of saving some money and buy my own sewing machine because I have already known how to sew.

The biggest difference in my daily life the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I've been able to pay for my college fees the exact date we agreed with the institution. This has given me ample time to learn.

In the next six months, I expect to have bought my own sewing machine and opened up my sewing shop.

Yes.., I do. With the transfer, I will be able to register for a tailoring course.

My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that I have been able to save for a dream course. I am so happy for the assurance the transfer has given me of doing what I would like to do most in the future.

In the next six months, I expect my life to change in the sense that I have purposed to save my monthly transfers and register for a tailoring course.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have become so optimistic with my life having in mind that in the next one month I will be able to start a course.
