My life is different from how it would have been four months ago in that I have never lacked what to eat in my house. This is a big step in my life considering how my life was before the transfers. I only had casual work and odd jobs in the village as my source of income. Since it was not consistent and very little, I could not do much in my life. I would have to share the little I get to all my needs. This is the reason why we would occasionally miss some meals so that we can afford to meet other needs. In the last four months, I have been buying food on a monthly basis which has helped reduce the amount I spend on food on a daily basis. As a result, I have always had food which we take in the house. I am glad my children are healthy because they eat well and a balanced diet.

For the next four months, I have a new goal of buying a goat. Livestock is a good investment because it requires very little resources to keep and it reproduces faster than a cow. When it reproduces, I will have a number which is a sign of wealth for me. Whenever I have any financial emergencies, I can sell some of them to raise money to handle the emergency without having to borrow or take loans. Paying back loans is tiresome and really delays progress hence I would want to really avoid at all cost.

In all my life, I had desired to live in a permanent house. It was my dream even at the time when I was getting married and used to talk to my husband about it. Because we did not have a good income to help us buy building materials for a permanent house, we had to stay in what we could afford which is a mud-walled house. Even though I had a mud-walled house, I was never satisfied. I have been dreaming of even making it semi-permamnent. I tried in my own capacity with my own income but I could not manage due to my other family needs. When I started receiving these transfers, I revived my dream and used my transfers to buy building materials such as cement and sand which I used in plastering my house. In as much as I did not achieve my target of a permanent house but whenever I look at the house I thank God for GD for the transfers because it drew me close to my dream.

In the next six months, I want to focus my transfers on savings. I have a dream of owning livestock and I cannot achieve this if I do not sacrifice. This is why I have chosen to invest my transfers on savings which will help me buy the goat I am planning to have. Since I have experience with GD and how they sent transfers without fail, I know I will achieve the goal in the next six months.

My life is different from the last four months in that I was able to use hybrid maize seeds and fertilizer on my farm for the first time. I have not been able to use them because my income was not enough to help buy them. I have been using local seeds and the harvest has not been much. I felt its time I should improve on farming to help me feed my family and reduce the burden of buying food every now and again.

My new goal in the next four months is to boost my foodstuff business. I know through the business, I will have a stable source of income to help support my family well and meet their needs in time. I would not want to go for casual work anymore but improve my income through the business.

The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving these transfers is that I have materials which I will use in plastering my house. I have been dreaming of owning a permanent house but due to my low income from casual work and small foodstuff business, I was not able to achieve this dream. When I started receiving these transfers, I knew God had answered my prayers. I have been buying materials and I am sure I will finally get my house plastered.

In the next six months, I want to ensure I buy all the requirements needed to plaster my house. I would want to continue buying sand and cement and save some money to pay masons who would do the work. I am determined to achieve this goal.

My life is quite different in that, I am able to feed well and I no longer have to miss a meal because of lack of resources. This was not the case before, I could sleep on an empty stomach due to lack of food. This was caused by lack of income. GD has made it possible, we not only eat but we choose what to eat and this is a privilege.

In the next four months, I am focused on ensuring that my family feeds well and that the renovation of my house is complete. Those are the major plans as per now. Once that is done I can embark on other activities.

The biggest difference is that I have been able to purchase materials to help me plaster my house. Though the process has not started yet, there is hope. This has been a plan for the longest time ever. It has never hatched before due to lack of resources so I was forced to live with my situation. But I am glad that the plastering will start as soon as I received my next month's transfer. This will help with the labor fees.

In the next six months, I am certain that the renovation of my house will be complete and my family will be feeding well thanks to GD's transfers. I bet even now our faces look much brighter than some months back.

My kid able to go to school with utmost ease without having to be sent away from school every now and then. On top of that, I am able to buy food for the family without so much struggles.

I am planning to make major repairs on my house so that it looks more presentable than how it is right now.

I have been able to pay school fees with utmost ease as opposed to how I used to struggle so much in the past.

I will have cemented my house and make it look presentable, something that has always been an uphill task for me.

My new goals at the moment include building a new house for myself.

My life is currently different because now able to have light in my house even during times when I have no money to buy paraffin. In addition to that I will be able to pay school fees for my child and let them attend all lessons.

I expect that my life will change positively because I will be able to buy and rear chicken within my compound.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now able to have light in my house even during times when I have no money to buy paraffin.
