My life is currently different from the way it was four months ago because I was able to pay for my son's school fee on time. This enabled him to improve in-class work because he had enough time for his studies. In addition, through the improved income, I have been able to provide most of the household needs without challenges.

I recently started a charcoal business but I have rented a house for the storage. For the next four months, I'm planning to save the coming transfers and construct a bigger store for the charcoal so that I can rent out part of it. This will earn me additional income and at the same time, I'll be saving on the monthly cost of paying for monthly rent.

Raising my child's school fee has been a challenge for quite a long time but I'm glad I'm not facing the challenges anymore. I didn't have a reliable source of income previously and the little I earned was mostly spent on food. Through the GD transfers, I was able to start up a business which is currently doing well. The income I earn from the business has enabled me to pay for son's school fee on time and currently he no longer faces challanges in raisng school fee.

In the next six months, I expect to have a stable business which will earn me a good profit. I'm planning to achieve this by expanding the current business with part of the coming transfers. This will enable me to sustain my household needs without challenges.

My life has really transformed. Initially, I used to sleep on an empty stomach on those days that casual labor did not go well. This was uncomfortable since my children had to suffer. But ever since GD started sending me transfers, all the three meals are compulsory in my household. Skipping a meal is currently at one's own desire otherwise food is available.

I am planning to start a charcoal selling business. With the high number of shrubs in my community, I can employ young men to cut down the shrubs and I can use them to make charcoal which I can later sell and earn an income.

The biggest difference is that I am comfortable able to afford three meals a day. This was never the case before GD started sending the transfers. I used to do casual which was tiresome and not well paying so I was forced to cut down cost by skipping several meals.

In the next six months, I am hopeful that I will have commenced the charcoal business, and earning huge profits from the same because it is currently an untapped market.

My life is currently different from the way it was four months ago in that I have managed to construct a kitchen. It was hectic and inconveniencing cooking in the open air especially during rains and wind season.

For the next four months of my life, I expect to have plastered my house so that it can look decent and strong. With the plaster, it will stay long and I won't have to smear it every time. This was so hectic and considering my old age, I couldn't manage to smear it frequently.

Ever since I started receiving, the money I have been so peaceful. I'm no longer in deep thoughts every time because I didn't have a stable source of income and the little I earned couldn't meet all the basic needs. I'm happy this is not the case anymore because currently, I'm sure of getting some money from GiveDirectly every month.

In the next six months, I expect to have boosted the current business I operate so that I can have an improved income. This will enable me to comfortably meet the family needs.

My life is currently different from the way it was four months ago in that I'm not worried of how to raise money for meeting my needs because currently, I'm sure of getting some cash at the end of the month. I also have a kitchen thus I'm not inconvenienced with rain anymore.

I have an additional goal of starting up a business so that I can have a reliable source of income.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I now have a kitchen which I constructed with the previous transfers. I'm now not inconvenienced with rains anymore as it used to be previously when I used to cook in the open air.

In the next six month, I expect to have opened up a business so that I won't have to be iddle.

My new goals that I didn't have before receiving the transfer is starting a cereal business that can give me a sustainable income. I also want to change my diet by eating well since I will be having a sustainable income from my business.

My life is currently different from how it could have been had I never received the transfer in that, I have peace in my life because I have hope of getting monthly income from give directly.I am happy and hopeful of achieving my dreams

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will be having a sustainable business that will enable me have a source of income.

The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving payments from Give Directly is that I was given a new phone that has enable me communicate effectively with my family members and friends
