Currently, my life is different from how it was four months ago in that, I managed to do farming and got a bumper harvest. This has saved me a lot because I no longer do the hectic casual jobs that pay very low wages. I usually sell the harvest in order to meet my daily needs. This is the greatest relief ever, I can't imagine I will never do the casual jobs any time soon

I don't have new goals at the moment. I spent a larger portion of my transfers in farming. With the remaining transfers, I am hoping to expand my poultry business.

The biggest difference in my life ever since I started receiving help from GD that I have been able to do farming. I always wait until my neighbors have harvested their produce so that I can buy from them. This is usually very expensive and inconveniencing. I am glad that I was able to lease land and afford the farm inputs. I also managed to pay labor and plant in time. I feel proud when I see the sacks of maize I harvested. For the first time in my life, I have finally eaten food from my sweat

I expect my life to change in the next six months because from the sales I will have saved enough money to build a kitchen. I badly want to build this kitchen because my children are first approaching the adolescent stage and I don't have an extra room to accommodate them. The kitchen will also come in handy with storing my harvest in the next season. I will also be able to comfortably cook even during the reason seasons without messing my household items with soot

Currently, my life is different from how it was in that, I own goats and chicken which I had planned to have for a long time now. I always wanted to keep them. From the stories which I heard in our village is that they are beneficial and from the sales, many families livelihoods have changed. I know that if I feed them well, they will be able to help me accomplish most of my pending projects but having them in the first place is like a dream come true. The poultry farming which is doing well so far. Its generating more profits than I had expected. These are investments will serve me for the longest time possible and still pass it to my grandchildren. I know that I won't have any problem meeting my needs from now on.

I do not have any new goals at the moment. I still want to concentrate on the current projects that I have already started because if I start new ones, I might end up losing a lot of money. I also believe in doing one thing at a time. Once they are stable I can now think of doing other projects.

The biggest difference in my life is owning animals. I have a calf and two goats that I bought recently using the transfers which I got from GiveDirectly. This is an investment for me because such animals will forever appreciate. They reproduce faster and require little attention. I am not good at doing business but I am glad I enjoy doing agriculture and this is why I decided to go for it. I have also ventured into poultry farming and in the last four months, I can say that I have seen progress in my projects. I plan to sell the hens in the coming months. The proceeds will help me cater to my basic needs.

I do expect my life to change so much in the next six months because my projects will have picked and I will have started enjoying the profits. I have not yet thought of starting another project because I still want to concentrate on the ones that I recently started. Poultry and animals rearing. I am passionate about doing them and I enjoy doing all the duties in this job. I feel that I should give it my best that is why I do not what to start another thing that may interfere with it.

My life is currently different from how it was in that, I get my monthly pay GiveDirectly. I feel that I am stable financially because I can single-handedly take care of my needs. Before, I used to borrow money from my siblings. They are the only people who understood my poverty levels well. They knew that my husband was paid very little and I had been jobless too. I always felt like a burden to my sisters but there was nothing I could do.

I do not have new goals in the next four months.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I feel proud of myself. I no longer stress over what I would use in case I receive visitors. I did not have big cooking pots and always borrowed from my mother-in-law which was quite embarrassing, but thanks to GiveDirectly, I now have my own. Without GD, I would not be able to afford these items considering that my husband who is employed as a caretaker earns very little and I am also a casual worker who earns less than a dollar a day.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that, I will have bought more goats. This will bring closer my dream of buying a dairy cow. The income I get from the two sources will be enough to do a lot in terms of running my family and achieving my goals. Before the end of this year, a lot will have changed because I will now have a diversified source of income. I will no longer depend on casual jobs in order to earn a living.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that, I eat well and my health has improved.

My new goals in the next four months are; to expand my house since it is small and building a kitchen.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that, I am less stressed of thinking where to get money to buying most of the things that I desire. I am proud that I not only depend on my meager salary to buy the things that I need.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that, I will have bought cows for milk production hence, I will be able to sell milk and get income out of it.

My new goal is to purchase two dairy cows for milk production or even that I can sell the offsprings later on incase of any emergency that might occur.

My life is currently different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that, I could not have joined a savings group that will help me achieve my future development goals.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that, I would have bought goats and sheep that I can sell later on incase of any emergency because they grow very fast hence I will have more of them.

The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving the money is that, I managed to keep 500KES as savings in my new Rosca for future development plans.
