My new goal in the next four months is to start saving money to buy plastering materials and plastered my house. Currently I am staying in a very dusty house where I am worried that I can be affected by jiggers. It is also tiresome repairing it every now and then using cow dang and the owns of the cows also does not want any body to pick cow dang from the place because they are using them as fertiliser.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that l am now sitting on a very comfortable seats after I spent the money to buy cushions. I also no longer brother neighbors from borrowing cushions every one and then as I used to do before. I am also no longer embarrassed again when I have visitors because I now have a very nice comfortable place to sit on.

In the next six I expect to have started plastering some part of my house to a void too much dust in the house.

I recently constructed a new kitchen where I can cook separately especially when I have to use firewood that produces a lot of smoke that makes it uncomfortable to be in the same house during meal preparations. Having to cook in the main house was very uncomfortable for me because it ruined my roof and whenever I had any visitors, I would have to buy charcoal or cook outside to avoid chocking them with the smoke. Now that I have a separate kitchen, I can cook any time even with firewood and don't have to worry about buying charcoal which has also saved me a lot of money.

At my age, it is really becoming quite difficult to keep up with the constant renovation of my main house through smearing, so I wish to plaster the floor which mostly requires the frequent smearing. However hard it may be, I will struggle to save some of my transfers so that I can buy the materials required for the plastering as soon as I can.

My old age does not make it easy for me to run around or work to earn money for my needs. I am not even able to farm as much as I did before therefore I have to buy cereals most of the time. The difference I have witnessed is that I do not have to spend on maize at the moment because I used the transfers I received during the past farming season to hire labourers to work on my farm and I was eventually lucky to have a good harvest. On my own, I could not manage to cultivate and would still be spending on maize on a daily basis, therefore, I am very grateful to Give Directly for ensuring that I do not go hungry even though I have no source of income and has no one else to depend on.

I expect that in the next six months, I will have plastered the floor to my main house so that I will not have worry about having to smear it all the time which is a big challenge to me now due to my old age. This may be a bit tough as I solely depend on these transfers for my household needs, but I pray that all will work out as planned with proper planning and sacrifice.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because my main house is now very neat and there is no smell as compared to before because l no longer keep calve and poultry in my main house. I now feel comfortable cooking in the kitchen as compared to before when I used to disturbed by rain and wind while cooking outside the house.

My new goal is to save money and buy plastering materials and plaster my house, since I am too old and sickling I am not able to maintain a mud house. It is also very costly hiring people to smear it being that I do not have any source of income.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that l managed to buy building materials and built a kitchen where I now have a nice and neat place to cook in as compared to before when I was cooking out side the house which was a great challenge during rainy and windy seasons . I now have a very comfortable place to keep calves and poultry as compared to before when I was sleeping with them under one roof, this was very uncomfortable because there was a very bad smell coming from the main house caused by them.

In the next six months l expect to have started saving for my project of plastering my house. Which I am very sure I will achieve with the help of give directly.

Ever since I started receiving the transfers, I have always ensured my farm is prepared in time unlike before. Since I did not have any source of income, I was not able to plough my farm and it would go unploughed for even the whole year. This is the reason why I did not have any money. I would have used my farm but I could not because I do not have the energy to plough or even the resources to hire someone to plough for me. With GD transfers, I have been able to hire people to plough for me and I have enough to eat and even to sell to raise money for other needs.

In the next four months, I would want to buy building materials such as iron sheets, nails and timber which I will use in building a new kitchen. This is because when my grandchildren come to visit me but they do not have any place to sleep. The kitchen will also be their sleeping space.

The biggest difference in my life since I started receiving these transfers is that I have always had food to eat. Before the transfers, I used to struggle to get food since I do not have any source of income. I only depend on well-wishers and I would miss some meals if no one gives me food. Ever since I started receiving the transfers, I have been able to budget well with the money so that I do have food in my house. I thank GD for the transfers.

In the next six months, I would want to ensure I do not have to cook outside as I used to. It was very inconveniencing especially at night and during the rainy seasons. I want to buy building materials bit by bit until I have enough material to build a new kitchen.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because l am now eating well as compared to before when l would only have one meal in a day

My new goal is to start poultry farming as my investment.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that can afford to eat what l want without depending on anybody. Health wise l am also now fine as compared to before when was sickling.

In the next six months l expect to have started poultry keeping.

The goal I have are to buy a goat and be able to rear. This way If the goat reproduces I am able to sell and use the money for other needs.

I am able to crave for a meal and purchase and eat but initially I could not get the food that my heart desired to take. Currently I also do not have stress in regards to food I take in my household.

I will be feeding well and I will also be rearing goats that will also help as income. Whenever I have a need I will be able to sell one and use the cash. I will also be a stress free woman given that I am guaranteed of transfers every month.

The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving payments from Give Directly is I am able to buy food without any doubt of missing a meal.
