My life is different from how it would have been four months ago in that I have built chicken shed for my poultry project. I used part of my transfer to buy iron sheets, nails, and timber which I used in building chicken shed. I know I will achieve this goal of having poultry project because I have come from far. I did not know I could come this far because I did not have the resources to do all these. With GD transfers, I have come a great way.

In the next four months, I have a new goal of starting a poultry project. This is because I would want to have a stable source of income so that I can bring my family back home. My wife left me because I could not take of them but when I have a stable income, I will be able to take care of them well.

The biggest difference in my daily since I started receiving these transfers is that at the beginning of every month I have money. This is a big difference in my life being that I used to depend on income from casual work which was inconsistent and earning very little. I would struggle in life to meet my needs and sometimes I would go for a whole month without getting money especially during off planting season. The story changed since I started receiving transfers from GD.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have started the poultry project. I want to use part of my monthly transfers to buy chicken bit by bit until I have the required number for the project. I know through this, my life will never be the same again.

The other difference in my life in the last four months is that I have an assurance that every month I have money from GD. Before the transfers, I was not sure I could get money as regular as now. I only depended on casual work which was not consistent. At times, I would go for a whole month without money yet my needs arose on a daily basis. Ever since I started receiving these transfers, I have been able to plan well with my transfer and help me reduce my financial burdens.

My new goal in the next four months is to start a poultry business so as to boost my income. I know through this, I will have a stable source of income to help me meet my family needs without much struggle and begging as before.

Before the transfers, I used to use local seeds without fertilizer when farming. This is because I did not have the resources required to buy fertilizer and hybrid seeds. I only depended on income from casual work which was not even enough to feed and meet other family needs. This is the reason why I was not able to spare some money to buy farm input. Ever since I started receiving these transfers, I have been able to buy fertilizer and hybrid maize seed which I have been using on my farm. These have resulted in an increase in my harvest from the normal 2 sacks to 7 sacks now. Thanks to Give Directly.

In the next six months, I want to use my transfers on savings so that I can be able to achieve my goal of starting a poultry business. I would want to use this opportunity given to me by GD to make a bold financial step to better my life.

Currently, my life is different in that I have peace of mind since I have been able to plan consistent with the transfer to get daily meals without missing. Therefore, my family members and I are happy and healthy unlike before when I didn't have money in hand due to the scarcity of employment.

My new goal is to save up money from part of the transfers and invest in the horticultural business to make an extra source of income.

The biggest difference in my daily is that I have been able to plan consistent with the transfer to get daily meals without missing. I didn't have money in hand before and it was so challenging for me hence I had to do hard jobs to earn a living and meet those basic needs which includes food. Now I am able to plan ahead even for a month or so with ease.

I expect in the next six months, that my life will be more prosperous since I would have saved enough money which will necessitate the start of the horticultural project to make an extra source of income.

My life is currently diffeent from the way it was four months ago in that currently I can say I'm financially stable and I do not strain a lot.

I have a new goal of starting up a dairy unit because I believe I'll be able to get more income.

The biggest difference in my day in the last four months preceding the transfers is that I can financially plan for my activities without any challenges.

In the next six months, I expect to have started up a dairy unit.

Currently I do not have any new goals so far.

The difference in my life currently is that we eat well and I now have hope that my will get better as a result of the transfer. I can now borrow loan with courage knowing I will be able to pay.

In the next six months, I plan to finish my house which I have been building and to pay dowry.

The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving this transfer is that I eat well together with my family.
