In the next month, I would break for long holiday. The next transfer which I will be receiving to the end of this programme, I will save and put together with the savings which I currently have and spent in to buy a motorcycle. I would like to add one more motorcycle to one which I currently have so that I would double my income. The projected monthly earnings fro motorcycle business is approximately KES 2600 a month. This amount would enable me to pay my school fees, pay my rent and buy myself some food. The extra I would spend on paying part of my sibling's school fees.

In the last four months, I have been spending part of my transfer to pay for my rent for the house which I live while in school. This has really help me to pay my rent on time and have a good relationship with my landlord.

In the next six months, I would have bought a new motorcycle and will be two motorcycles. This two assets would help me generate more income and would enable me to pay my school fees, pay my rent and buy myself some food.

My life is currently different in that I now have more income of my own and self reliant than I was four months a go. I can proudly say I am working towards leading an independent life free from over reliance on my parents and other well wishers. I am now proud that I have been able to assist my parents in gathering for my own personal needs and given them enough time to look for school fees and gather for the other household member needs. They have also been able to facilitate their own income generating activities. I have also been able to clear a loan that I had borrowed to buy a motorcycle and I can now start saving more money from the proceeds of my motorcycle business. I already have plans of buying a second motorcycle and even make more income for myself and raise the living standards of myself and my family.

I am part of a merry go round group that was started within our village once we started receiving these transfers. This merry go round group has really assisted us in making various investments. I will be getting the contributions from this merry go round over the next four months. Once I get the money, I will deposit the amount in a local bank to be able to get a bigger loan from the savings. The loan shall be used to buy another motorcycle which I shall use to generate income and pay back the loan. I am optimistic that I will be able to pay the loan in time because I shall use the profits from both the first and the new motorcycle to pay back the loan. I shall be required to pay back a total of KES 6000 which to me is achievable and realistic. Once I am done with the payment then I can think of other meaningful investments that will change my living standards positively in the long run. This is an additional goal that I have and looking forward to accomplishing it over the next four months.

I am a college student in a town that is far away from home. Being a student in this town requires that I gather for my own household needs and pay rent to be able to pursue my studies. GiveDirectly transfers have always helped me meet most of these personal needs and sometimes pay rent with it. This has reduced the burden on my parents who would have had to struggle to pay school fees and at the same time find money to gather for my own personal needs and rent. I highly doubt if they would have managed to meet all these needs. Receiving this money has enabled me to be in school all year round and given my parents an opportunity to look for school fees and through this I am going to clear my studies and find a job in the near future. This has been the biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months.

In the next six months, I shall have bought my second motorcycle and I will be proud owner of two motorcycles and definitely have more income for myself and make more investments in future. I have the confidence of being able to pay back the loan that will be used to purchase the motorcycle since I will use income from the two motorcycles.

My life is different in that I am now able to meet most of my basic needs with the proceeds from my poultry project. Four months a go, it was difficult for me to make ends meet as I entirely relied on casual labour to get money to meet all my needs.

The plans that I have over the next four months is to save up the GiveDirectly transfers and be able to join college. This coupled with the support from my parents will see me realize the dream of joining college which I had always desired.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have been able to start a poultry keeping project over the last four months. The poultry keeping project has enabled me meet most of the basic needs that I want without much stress. This also means that I can always have additional income that will help me make more investments.

In the next six months I want to be able to pay school fees and be able to continue with my studies uninterrupted.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that currently, am able to meet my basic needs easily unlike before when I used to depend most of the time on my parents. I am current in college a dream that has been made true by the GD transfer.

The new goal for my life inthe next four months is to start a business.

fee payment, The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is the training that am currently undertaking with the help of monthly transfer. I use my transfer to pay my college fee, without it I would not have started. I am so happy for this.

In the next six month, I will be done with my training hence will use my monthly transfer in an income generating activity. I expect my life to be better than today since will have more income.

I now have a plan of joining college since I will be able to use the transfers to pay for my school fees and by the rime I join, my chicken will have increased and I will be able to sell them and use the money to gather for my needs at college.

My life currently is different since I now have chicken which are mine and when I need anything I can sell eggs and use the money I get buy what I need.

My life will have changed since I will have joined college as I am planning to join in July. This will help me to better my future.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I can now not lack my basic needs like soap since two of the chickens I bought lay eggs and I can easily sell these eggs and use the money to buy what I need.
