Describe the biggest difference in your daily life since you started receiving payments from GiveDirectly.
I have been longing to have bulls of my own to use for ploughing for myself and others to help boost my income since we have been in this business but we share profit because I did not my own but now I have my own and this makes happy.
How do you expect your life to change in the next six months?
I would want to buy second hand motorcycle to help boost my income to meet my family financial needs.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I have my own ploughing business which has been my dream for a year, I have a sheep which is soon giving birth and adding the lock and I have been eating well. My diet really changed after receiving this money.
Do you have any new goals that you didn't have before receiving the transfer?
Currently, I do not have any new goal.
