Comparing four months ago to now, I can confidently say that there has been a huge difference in terms of how I think. Nowadays, I am not stressed with so many challenges since my child's school fees are always paid on time. As a result, I have been more productive than before. The energy to even work harder and improve has been contributed immensely by the transfers that have changed the state of my mind.

My dreams have always been filled with the need to add more cow. I am yearning to achieve this goal in the next four months. My hope of having more dairy cows is to help me supplement my income from the sale of milk and have a long-lasting investment that will add value to my life even after the transfers from GiveDirectly have ended.

For the past four months up to now, I can confidently say that my mind has been untied from the bondage of stress that had tied me in poverty. The stress that comes with a lack of money to facilitate my children stay and study at school demoralized my life. I was not thinking well since I was not stable psychologically. The biggest difference in my daily life currently is seeing my children study having their school fees cleared and consequently offloading my mind with stress. I am always happy and I do my things in goood manner that sees me deliver to the expectations that I set.

In the next six months, I am very sure that I will have bought a cow, a dairy one for this case. I hope that in so doing, I will have installed an investment that will go a long way in changing and adding value to me and my family's life since it will be producing milk both for domestic and commercial use.

Currently, the joy that I have is not comparable to even before. Since I no longer stress myself over my children's school fees, I am happier and less stress. I am able to plan for my future and all I can say is that God has really done it for us. I no longer live in fear of not settling people's debt since I no longer take them.

It has always been my wish to at least own a cow. I am planning this and in the next four months, my wish will have been accomplished. WIth the merry go round project that we have in the village - monthly contributing money to each other, I will be able to buy one. This will have helped me sort out milk shortage issues and even enable me to have more for sale which will earn me more income.

My biggest difference in the last four months is seeing my children having continuos studies with no interruption of being sent home for fees. It has been normal for them to be sent back reason being I did not have the little money to settle their fees arrears. Nowadays, I am up to date with fee payment and since then, no single day have they been sent back. This has given me peace of mind to settle on other work that will ensure my family is living in good condition.

In six months time, I will be having my cow in my compound. My firstborn child will have completed her secondary education and my concentration will be more to the young ones. This will have really eased my work to even be providing for my children better.

I have a young girl who is very bright. Sh is my hope to raise the standards of my life when she completes her education. I just want to pay the school fee. Paying school fees very well will help in her studies. It will culminate in a successful life for her and me.

I plan to start a grain business dealing in beans. Using monthly installments I will buy a stock of the beans to trade in.

Four months ago, I bought fertilizer and used it for planting maize for the first time in a while. My maize is doing so well and I know that this time. I will get a good harvest which means plenty of food for my family.

I will be having good capital for my grain business from saving the transfers. I will have a lot of money form the profits that can go a long way in educating my children and meeting our daily needs.

My life currently is different since I do not have more stress on where to get money from to use in paying school fees for my children.

The new goal I now have is to clear school fees for my child who is in Form four.

The biggest difference in my daily life is happiness since my child has been able to stay for long in school without being sent back home.

I expect your life to change in that I will have cleared school fees for my child.
