Having completed the construction of the house, I still feel that there is a need to make everything in the new house new. I have managed to change a lot and currently, I have a new goal to purchase new furniture as the final stage of my project. This as per my plan will only take a maximum of four months and all shall be in place. I am always grateful to GiveDirectly whenever I look at the changes I have registered in our household and I am still hopeful that as long as we are still receiving the transfers, more changes are still coming our way.

After a long time in the construction process of a new house, I started in our household, I finally managed to complete it. I have been working over it in phases and the last phase was happening in the last four months. This was the most crucial part of the construction which enabled me to move in after completion. This was the purchase and fixing of the window grills and panes. This to me has been a milestone and it's the biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months. I am now living in a new house just left to furnish it up by incorporating a piece of new furniture in the next few months.

In the next six months, it is my great wish and expectation that I will have completed all the interior setting of our new house with the new furniture in place. This is realistic both to me and the other members of the household since we have been building on our savings for some time now.

Previously, we were living in a small house which could not accommodate my family members comfortably. This meant that my children had to sleep at my neighbor's house and I was not comfortable with the whole idea. This is because I was worried that my children could be indulged in quire behaviors while interacting with their peers as they head to sleep at night. My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that, I have completed the construction of my house. I am glad since they sleep at home and this has enabled them to have enough time for their studies in the evening.

I am a vegetable vendor and I would wish to expand my business by building business premises. Therefore my additional goal for my life in the next four months is to improve this business since my perception is expanding it. It will be a contributor to maximized daily profits after accomplishing this project.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have been able to provide for my family's needs adequately. This is because GiveDirectly's transfers have enabled me to buy my family necessities on time. Therefore, I no longer feel burdened with my household commitments like before.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have built a business premise to put up my business with the upcoming transfer. This will diversify items I will be selling since I will not abandon my vegetable business. For instance, I will be able to give a helping hand to my spouse in paying school fees for our children because I am anticipating my profits to increase as compared to the ones I am getting now.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because we have attained lots of things. First, we are living in a better house after completing the construction. We have cemented the floor of our house and fixed glass windows. Accordingly, our house is less dusty. Secondly, we have adequate maize for consumption. I used the transfers from GiveDirecdely to purchase maize in bulk to avoid the tedious work of acquiring them from the market more frequently. Thirdly, I find that my family is happier and more presentable because I purchased some clothes using transfers from GiveDirectly.

The additional goal for my life for the next four months is to open a shop. I will save the transfers from GiveDirectly through table banking to facilitate the project. I chose to open a shop because it is less tedious compared to the activities that I am currently handling.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer I have gained more prestige from our renovated house. We are currently living in a relatively more beautiful house with a cemented floor. Still, I have fixed glass windows in our timber-walled house, making it more attractive. Hence, we feel more healthy because our rooms are less dusty and easy to maintain unlike before.

I expect my life to change drastically in the next six months. This is because I trust my shop project will be running smoothly. Accordingly, I will be enjoying a higher income since I will be operating my shop and doing farming simultaneously. Still, I will be more confident that I can afford to pay school fees for my children following the increased income.

The biggest difference in my life is that my children no longer go without food anymore. When I get the monthly transfer, I buy enough food for us for the whole month.

I expect that in the next six months my house would be complete and I would be having a dairy cow for rearing.

My life is currently different because my children are well clothed and healthy because they have enough food to eat. The pressure of getting food and other needs has also been reduce as compared to before.

My current goal is that I want to finish building our house which stopped when when we ran out of funds to finish up.
