I am planning to purchase a sofa set to make my visitors more comfortable. This is geared towards replacing the plastic chairs that I am currently using.

When I received my transfers, I decided to build a house. For the longest time, I have been staying with parents and I felt like time had come for me to man up and take responsibility for my life. So I did build a house and connected electricity. This is a dream come true for me.

In the next six months, I will have bought several electronics like a TV set and a radio. Besides, I will have bought a sofa set too. I am doing this to make my home more hospitable.

My additional goal for the next four months is to continue constructing my permanent house. I have done most of the work I am only left with fixing the ceiling board and fisher board. Once this is done I will be very proud of myself. I am also planning to purchase some furniture for my new house and lease a piece of land to plant some onions since my share of land at home is small

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I finally managed to build myself a house. I used to live in my parents house and since I married, I thought it is a wise decision to become independent and I feel good because I no longer depend on my parents since I now have my home. I have been able to sustain my family needs. We have never lacked food or any other basic needs since then.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have harvested my onions. I will have gotten enough money from the sale of onions. This will help me start a business hence will no longer strain to provide for my family. My home will be more appealing because I will have done more finishes and bought furniture. I will also stop shying away from inviting visitors because It will be a more decent and comfortable place to relax in after a heavy day's work

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that,I own a heifer which I did not have before. It has given me hope that I will cut the cost of buying milk which is very expensive in the near future when it shall have matured and ready to be milked.

My new goals for the next four months is to cement the floor of my new house because is still earthen. I anticipate the presence of dust which might predispose my family members to respiratory attacks mainly in the dry season that I want to mitigate. I'm also intending to purchase sofa set seats.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have purchased building materials which include iron sheets and other building materials for the construction of a new house with the saving I got from my merry go round group that commenced upon the coming of GiveDirectly. Before, I used to live in a small house which cannot host my family comfortably. I felt embarrassed when we had visitors because they could not get enough space to stay and sometimes they could borrow for them places to be hosted in mostly at my neighbors'. Currently, my house is spacious enough hence I am not afraid to invite my friends and relatives over.

I expect to empower my spouse to buy starting a business for her in the next six months. This business will be generating an income and she will also feel involved in catering for our family's needs unlike now that she is a housewife and doesn't know the goodness of having her own money.

Using the money that I receive from Givedirectly, I have an extra farm on which I have managed to farm. Unlike before receiving the transfers, I was able to buy seeds and fertilizer. All my farms are now under tillage. I also have extra money that I can use to buy personal effects. I have bought clothes and food. Currently, also afford to save some money to use for emergencies as pocket money.

My additional goal is to start saving money for the newborn we are expecting. I know that I will need to spend some money during delivery and the early days afterward. I am so excited and have nothing to worry about because I will be ready to cater for my baby's needs.

The biggest difference in my daily life is starting a home. I am now duly married according to our culture. I used some of the transfers to facilitate the process of negotiations, agreements and cementing relations between my family and that of my wife. I am now a complete young man as I have a family. The money I get from the transfers eased the process. This is the best thing that I have ever attained in my life.

I expect to have moved out of my fathers home and started my own. I will have to build another room that will be using as our kitchen with the money form the Givedirectly transfers.

My life is currently different because these transfers were a source of pocket money in my college and a source of capital for farming of cabbages.

I am planning to built my own house using merry go round money come October.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that these transfers have enabled me to plant cabbages and buy better clothes and shoes.

I expect to have started my own family, bought my own dairy cow and become independent.
