Currently, I am implementing an idea that I have been having for a long time. This has been running alongside other smaller projects. We started a group of ten members which we have been contributing a total of 300 KES every 3 weeks, and every time we do that we have been buying chainlink for every individual with a plan to start a poultry farming.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is the increased plantation of tea on my farm. All along I have been replacing those which never sprout and the one which has been destroyed by the pest. In line with the tea plantation project, I am also in the process of developing other seedlings in the nursery bed which I will be transplanting to the field early next year. I am really grateful to GiveDirectly for the great support they have been offering us all this long.

In the next six months, I expect to have fully established the poultry project since it needs less money compared to other running projects.

The biggest difference in my daily life is the new tea crops that I have planted to recap my plantation. I bought about 600 seedlings that are already established to maximize production on my 0.2 acres of land. The crops are doing so well and I was only able to do this through the help I got from Give Directly. My farm is well established and I am sure of reaping profits for the longest time possible. This means I am a big beneficiary of this organization.

In the next four months, I plan to plant more tea seedlings on my farm. I was recently shown my portion by my father and I want to start making use of it. I will use the money to buy some ready tea seedlings. The money will also help me establish a small tea seedbed which will also be a source of income in the next year. I thank Give Directly for considering young adults in this program

As a young man, contributing to my household's efforts to meet daily needs is very satisfying. I no longer feel like a burden, I feel I am responsible and worthy because I also contribute towards the well being of my family. I always use part of my monthly transfers to assist in buying foodstuff that can last us for a month. Four months ago, the only contribution I could give was working on my father's farm. However, I am currently contributing cash as well as labor in meeting our needs. I feel that I am a better person now.

In the next six months, I expect to have a well-established poultry system. I have already started saving towards it. I will have to build a poultry structure and bought chicken. I also have to start looking for potential markets where I would sell my chicken. I believe I will be a successful business. If all goes well, I will be getting a daily income from the sale of eggs and sometimes chickens.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that I now have a house. I have been sleeping in my neighbor's house for many years and I am now glad that I have built my house where I can sleep comfortably. I used the money I got from merry go round to buy iron sheets, nails and timber. Thank you Give Directly for the cash transfers.

My goal for the next four months is to start a poultry project. I decided on this because chicken are not expensive to maintain. This project will be a good source of income since currently I only depend on my daily wages since I am employed as motorcyclist. The money I am paid by the owner of the motorcycle is not enough to cater for my personal and other family basic needs. This poultry project will therefore earn more income to cater for personal and household needs.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I used to go sleep in neighbor's house. I was not comfortable since every time his sons come for holiday, I had to go to another neighbor to sleep with his son. This has always been the trend for the past many years. Thank you Give Directly since I used my transfers to build a house and I can now sleep comfortably in my house.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have a stable source of income from the poultry project. I am planning to start this project using the money I will get from merry go round. I am also planning to save some money I will get from motorcycle business and add to the income I will get from my poultry project to buy a dairy cow. This will therefore produce enough milk for the family and I will thus save the money I would have otherwise used to buy milk.

My life currently is different since at the end of the month, I can be able to buy even sugar for my parents and have also been able to join two merry go round groups.

At the moment, I do not have any other new goals to achieve within this coming four months.

The biggest difference in my daily life is happiness.

I expect my life to change in that I will have opened a kinyozi business.

My new goal is that to start poultry keeping business in large scale so that it can sustain me for the rest of my life.I will only achieve this by saving part of my transfer for a period of time.

My life has currently changed, am now very comfortable and happy at my house.I have restored my friends again since I shunned away from them due to extreme poverty and some didn't want to associate with me since I borrowed a lot but now am satisfied because I combine what I earn from casual jobs and with GD transfers and everything needs is well covered.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will be a business man mainly a poultry keeper in my village.I will gain respect among my people in the village because poverty draws lines between people even if they live in the same village and I want to break that.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that am very happy less strained.I had tattered shoes and it was unbearable to walk at times where people were but now with new ones that I bought with GD transfers I have regained a new self confidence and can even talk to fellow.I was also able to finish my house and fix the doors and can now live in comfortably unlike before I was sleeping at friends house privacy was a bit of a problem.
