Currently, I am training to be a plant operator. Unlike before, I am now knowledgeable and the skills which I have acquired will enable me to secure a better job. Again, I am happy that own a cow which I managed to buy with the money which I got from GD. Owning such livestock is a great achievement for me.

My new goal in the next four months is to invest my next transfer on poultry farming, I opted to start this venture since it little capital to start. This will earn me money and offer me sustainable income through the sale of eggs.

I am almost finalizing plant operator course which I have been yearning to do for years now. Having made this step undertaking the course, I am happy that am on my way achieving my dream. The cash which I have been receiving from GiveDirectly has been helpful to me since I have been spending on basic needs while in school.

In the next six months, I would have graduated and will be having a job. I believe that by then I will be independent and will no longer depend on my parents for provision since I would be able to take care of my financial needs.

The biggest step I have made in my life is joining college. People in this village rarely go college because education has not been given much value. Most people think millions of people have certificates but still won't get employed because employment opportunities are few. Therefore they opt to invest in agriculture instead. I tend to have a different opinion about having an education and getting employed that is why I still tried hard to go to college. I must say I managed to go to college with the help I got from Give Directly.

I am planning to start saving for the next four months with the goal of buying a cow. I don't have any asset at the moment, therefore, the cow will be my first asset to own. I love dairy farming and would wish to buy more cows in future so that I can sell milk. I believe the business will be able to facilitate my education once it gains momentum.

The biggest difference in my life is that I recently joined college. This has been my goal for a very time. I have been saving the money I normally get from Give Directly. This enabled me to pay my school fees and very soon I will have a certificate. This puts me in a better position to start applying for jobs. I intend to continue with my studies later in life once I get employed. At least Give Directly has helped me start this journey, it looked impossible at because I did not have the resources and I had started losing hopes of one day going to college.

In the next six months, I will have started to plant tea. Tea plantation is a long time investment that is why I decided to do it. I managed to raise the money for buying and planting the seedlings from the monthly income I got from Give Directly. In a period of one year, I will start getting bonuses which will help me achieve bigger dreams.

My life is currently different from how it was before in that I now have a cow of my own. When we started receiving the transfer, we started a merry go round group where we saved some amount every month. When I got the accumuIated savings, I bought a dairy cow. I have always wanted to have a cow of my own that will supply us with. milk both for food and the extra sold for an income.

Right now the only plan that I have is to ensure that my father and sisters live well and have enough food. In the future though, I want to build a zero grazing unit.

The biggest difference in our daily life is the fact that we now have enough food for our family. Before, especially with the high cost of living, it was so hard getting enough money to buy enough food for us. On top of that, one of my sisters is dependent on me and needs to be fended for and I am songlad for the transfers that Give directly came to our help.

My expectation in the near future is to start a zero grazing unit. I want to do an intensive grazing so as to maximize on returns on farming. I alsonl want to improve the image of my home in terms of lifestyle to a better one.

My life is different because GD transfers have reduced me the burden I had and I now work on my plans without any difficulty.

My new goal is to grow tea and build a house.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that GD transfers have lessen for me the burden I had and I now find it easy to organize and implement my work plan.

In the next six months I will have build myself a house and started tea farming.

The new goal that has come in due to the transfer is that I want to prepare a tea nursery and also build a new house then get married.

My life currently different in that it is easier for me to get money to save unlike before when I used to spend all the money in my household needs.

In the next six months I expect to have my own cow and to have planted tea in a nursery.

Since I started receiving the transfer the biggest difference in my daily life is that I can now save some money in a day unlike before when I could use all the money on the daily basic needs.This is because I used the part of the transfer to to stock food that will last for some days hence give me a chance to save money.
