In four months’ time, my new goal for my life is to venture into a shoe selling business. I am trying all the best to get into some work which increases my income generation and also expands my sources of income as I prepare myself to even school fees payment for my children.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that the schools closed when I had completed all the arrears. I recall that previously when we had no money from GiveDirectly, my children would be sent back home to collect the fees. It was unfortunate that the same children had to stay at home as I attend casual work which paid meager amounts which were not enough for school fees payment plus family’s upkeep. Since the transfers began trickling in, the case has always been changed and I am happy noting my children had a good time for their examinations.

In six months’ time, I expect to be in a running business fully stocked with shoes. My hopes are that once the support that we get from GiveDirectly ends, I would continue earning some income from the business that I will have started. Now that I am thinking of increasing revenue base, the only way that this can happen is through such kinds of business and if I get enough capital, I will be thinking of an extra business

Feeding my family well is the most important of the differnt things that I achieves over the last four months. Curently, there is food scarcity and the prices have hiked because of this. Usually at such times, my family is usually forced to rely on the little we get from the wages after toiling hard whole day on tea farms. This was always little and hence not sufficeint to feed the children my wide and I. However, this was different because I could supliment whatever I got with the money from GiveDirectly. Food has been sufgicinet for. My children and this makes me proud as a father who has not failed in his duties to provide.

I plan to lease a piece of land to plant potatoes. This is in order to make a profit by selling the potatoes to some local marjet brokwrs herr at home.

The biggest difference in my daily life is in schol fees payment for my children. I paid school Fees for my children without too much strugle like before. Even after paying school fees, so comfortably. I was able to orovide food to the family with ease. This is all becailuse of the transfes that i get and use apart of it on these items. I also invest some of it in farming which is the source of my succves and joy.

I will have established a poultry keeping project and buy a calf using farming proceeds from potates. I know that by this time, my potatoes will have fetched me good money and chicken eggs will be a constant in source of food and also money. In the end I will have the ability to cover all my family's needs.

My life is different in that I now own things that I did not own before. I have more farm produce than I used to get from my farming practices. This is as a result of improved farming methods and proper season timing.

In the next four months, I will prioritize saving more money for fee payment. The thought of having my children sent home for school fees keeps me working hard in trying to keep them in school. My desire has always been that I give the best in terms of education to my children. I will therefore continue to work hard to collect and save enough money to keep my children in school. I also look forward to starting a poultry keeping project.

The biggest difference in my daily life that has happened to me over the past four months is that I have been able to improve my farming practices by a great extent. This is due to the fact that I now have access to money that I can use to buy fertilizers and improved seeds for planting. I have also been able to put more land under cultivation by employing mechanization such as tilling the land with a tractor. I currently have tomatoes in my farm that are due for harvesting and shall greatly boost me. I expect to have enough proceeds from it that can allow me make more family investments such as buying a dairy cow and other livestock which can help me during financial difficulties. Getting money from my farming shall as well empower me to pay school fees for my children in time and avoid the shame of having them sent home for school fees like they could be done some time back.

In the next six months, I am anticipating to have more development projects and be able to put more land under cultivation.

My life currently is different since my children are not being regularly sent back home to fetch school fees.

The new goals I now have is to open a shop and buy a cow.

The biggest difference in my daily life is happiness which is brought about by the fact that my children now days spend most of their time in school and not at home due to lack of school fees.

I expect my life to change in that I will have opened a shop, bought a cow and increased the size of my farm under horticultural produces by leasing farms from my friends.

I am planning to buy a dairy cow in order to get enough milk for me and my family because currently I have only one dairy cow.I am also planning to hire more land for farming and built a new modern house.These goals I did not have before.

My life is currently different because with these transfer I have plans like buying a dairy cow which I did not have before.Also with these transfers my business is going to improve.

In the next six months I expect my tomato business to have grown and food will be adequate hence no more lack.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now well and at peace because the transfers have helped me pay school fees for my daughter in a private boarding school who used to sent home every now and then.
