My major project in the next four months is to ensure I have a stable cereal business that well-stocked. This is my additional goal in the next four because it is the major source of livelihood in my family. I am happy my wife also has something to do part from house chores because she is the one running our business when I am away at school. I am happy because we are getting good returns and many people are attracted to buy from us because of the good customer relations my wife has towards them.

I have been using my transfer majorly to boost my cereal business and paying my merry go round contributions. The greatest difference in my daily life is that I have hope and surety of monthly income from Give Directly, and this gives me a better opportunity to put my plans in order. I am a trained teacher by profession though I have not been absorbed with Teacher Service Commission hence I work as a helper this means I earn too little. Initially, life was not that good before Give Directly came to our village, we used to go without food at times, unlike nowadays we have never missed any meal. Having starting cereal business, I have an additional source of income thus I provide financial support to my family with no difficulty. I want to say thank Give Directly for having transformed many lives including me and my family. we are to plan because of its surety. have financial hope

I expect to expand my business in such a way that I can sell goods in both retail and wholesale. I have the buyers since where I have established the business there is no competition, I am the one selling cereal so it is a privilege to me. I believe expanding it will give me more daily income hence I would be in a position to provide the basic needs for my family with a lot of ease.

Currently, I would say I have experienced a great improvement in my life both healthwise and financial wise. Since I began my cereal business I don't strain anymore when it comes to providing the basic needs for my family.

I can say I do not have any new goal but I am working extra hard as I source for resources to expand my business since this is the major source of livelihood in my house.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I started a cereal business for my wife. At times we pull our funds together since she is also a beneficiary of Give Directly. The business has picked well and daily sales are good because of, there no competition since we are the only people with such business around. I have never lacked food or even sleep hungry unlike before when I had not started receiving my transfer from Give Directly, at the time we used to go without food because the little I get can't sustain us till the next month. I am happy I have an additional income to depend on. The little I get from the salary I use on paying fees and other bills.

In the next six months, I expect to expand my cereal business thus I believe it will attract more customers hence increase in daily sales. I won't strain anymore but get surplus cash to save for other projects and also support my family financially.

Currently, I have a business that earns me some income. My family can live a beautiful life as we can pay school fees for my children, buy food and clothes for them too. I have saved and bought building materials to renovate my house. I now have to worry less about my children staying home for so long due to lack of money to pay school fees.

Currently, there is a rural electrification programme project anticipated to take place in our village. I want to save towards doing electrical wiring in my house so that when they arrive i can easily access electricity.

I have been empowered. I have been able to save in a merry-go-round and buy building materials to plaster part of my house. Previously, I had built a new house but could not finish plastering because I had run of money to buy more building materials to plaster the house so when I received the transfers I was able to do so.

I will save more and boost my business to learn more income for my family. I want to be able to have something to fall back to when the transfers shall have stopped. I want to finish renovating my house by then. I expect to live in a beautiful house by the end of that duration.

I saved and built a kitchen which if not for the transfers I receive monthly from GiveDirectly I would have been unable to raise the money to build. Generally, life has changed as I have a business that can now generate income so my family eats healthily and dresses well.

I am planning to boost my stationery and m-pesa business in order to get more income for family upkeep.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I was able to save in a merry-go-round to buy building materials and built a new kitchen as I had an old leaky kitchen whenever it rained.

I am expecting to save more to buy more building materials to renovate my house which is not in a good state. I am also planning to boost my business more to earnmore income for my family.

I am planning to finish renovating my house, the compound and pay school fees for my children.

My life is currently different from how it would have been had I never received the transfer is that currently I can borrow money knowing that I am receiving some amount at the end of the month.

In the next six months, I expect to have improved my compound, finished renovating my house and opened a small business for my wife.

The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving payments from Give directly is I have been able to plaster the flour of my house. Now it looks beautiful.
