Do you have any new or additional goals for your life for the next four months?
My new additional goal is to save small money to start a business of selling second-hand clothes. This project will be earning me some profits to meet additional needs for my family and even save some to buy a piece of land in the near future.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer.
The biggest differences in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have bought a heifer. I depend on the small casual jobs in the village to earn an income to meet all the basic needs. The amount of money I get from this small jobs is so small and I was not in a position to start an projects like dairy farming. When I received the second transfer I was in a good position to buy a heifer. This small project will of dairy farming enable me to get milk when the cow reproduces and it's also an asset in that I will lead on in case of any emergency that might arise at home. I will sell the calves. I am so happy because I know I will cut the cost of buying milk daily which has been so costly for me.
How do you expect your life to change in the next six months?
I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have saved some money from the casual jobs in the village to buy a piece of land and build a better and spacious house for my family. I will be so happy to have my own house and do my own project without any stress.
