My next goal is to construct a poultry house so that I would have a confined area to keep my chicken. This would enable me to carry out other farm activities and prevent my chicken from destroying my crops.

Late last year, I obtained a water tank on credit which I repay every month with part of the transfers which I received from Give Directly. In the last four months, I haven't been spending too much time fetching water from a river miles away from home. Nowadays when I am through with the farming activities I just walk to the water tap at my doorstep.

In the next six months, I believe that I would have constructed a good poultry house which I will be using to rear poultry. I would be financially stable since I would have started selling eggs. Eggs are on high demand and I will not even be going to the market to sell as the buyers come to collect at my doorstep. The money which I will generate from this farming will enable me to buy other necessities which we cant produce at home.

My additional goal for the next four months is to be able to build a new house. I plan to build a new house by accumulating enough money from the monthly transfers that I receive as well as other income generating activities that I run. I also plan to take another loan that will enable me realize this dream much earlier.

The biggest difference in my daily life that has occurred over the last four months is the fact that I can now pay school fees quite comfortably. Gone are the days when my children could be sent home for lack of school fees. I have also been able to pay the monthly charges of my water tank that I bought on credit. My life has changed for the better because of this. I am looking forward to building a new house since the one that we are currently staying in is a very small one that is worn out.

In the next six months, my expectations are that I shall have started constructing my house as well as be in a position to continue paying school fees for my children and complete the payments for my water tank as well. I will be in a position to do all these once I take the loan to build my house and give my family a more decent place to stay in.

My life is different in that I am less worried about my children being sent away from school for lack of fees. I am also happy that I am empowered to save part of the money which I get to earn through casual jobs and right now I am planning to buy a water tank. We currently fetch water from quite a distance which is time consuming.

My goal as of now is to buy a water tank. I am currently saving towards this goal. I also want to buy a chicken mesh to build a poultry house which will later be one source of income for our family from the sale of eggs and meat.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am able to meet our daily basic needs such as food and other household requirements. Before, it was sometimes a challenge to make enough for our family especially during those days that I would depend on casual jobs. I am glad I no longer struggle as much as I used to, thanks to GiveDirectly.

My expectation in the near future is to ensure we are living a more improved life. Once I have bought a water tank, I would want to build a better house for us. The one we currently live is quite small for our growing family and is sometimes uncomfortable. Besides this, it is also quite old. I expect our living standard to improve.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that I no longer struggle so much in doing casual jobs in the village but rather devote most of my time on my farm. I also have peace of mind knowing that my children cannot be sent home because I do clear the school fees on time.

My new additional goal for the next four months is to buy a water tank for storing clean water for drinking and other domestic use. Getting clean water here in the village is not easy because during the drought season most of the streams are dried up.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I pay school fees on time and my children are no longer sent home. Their performance in school has improved as well. I do not have a daily income or monthly income all IO depend was the casual jobs in the village, the pay was small and it was not enough to meet the basic household needs and also to pay the school fees. My children are now happy and they concentrate on their studies knowing that their fees are paid on time.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have to build a better house for my family through the savings and my family will have a good place to sleep.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that I pay school fees on time and my children are no longer sent home to collect school fees like before. I no longer do hard jobs to earn an income.

My new goals for my life for the next four months is to build a good and a better poultry house so that I will be able to expand the project so easily without any challenge. I am also planning to buy more chicken to increase the number of eggs that I collect hence increase the source of income.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I no longer do hard jobs to get some money like I used to do before. I could do hard jobs and the little amount of money I could get could only buy the household basic needs and it was not enough to pay the school fees for my children. My children could be sent home to collect school fees and it was affecting their performance in school. Currently, I do my own work, I devote all my time on my farm and also poultry keeping project. This is giving me a good source of income to meet the household basic needs and even pay school fees on time for my children and their performance has improved so well.

I expect my life to change in the next six month in that I will have started a new business of selling second hands clothes. This business will earn me some income to also pay school fees and even expand my poultry keeping project.

My life currently is different since I am not buying maize flour at the moment since when I received my first transfers I used them in planting maize.

The new goals I now have is to build a chicken pen for my poultry and to start a milk business.

The biggest difference in your daily life is happiness since I am no longer doing some casual work in order to get money.

I expect my life to change in that I will have built a chicken pen and will have also started milk business.

I am planning to start selling clothes and keeping poultry, I never thought I would do such businesses because they require huge capital

I will now be getting monthly payments, which makes me confident that I will accomplish my goals.

In the next six months I will have started my poultry farming and start doing my business of selling clothes

I no longer strain so much in doing the casual jobs because i know I have an alternative, there is more peace ate home, no frequent family wrangles and there is peace of mind.
