Additional goal is to be able to buy an additional water tank. I plan to do this by continuing to be part of the merry go round that I am currently taking part in and buying it once I get my contribution. This will allow me to have enough supply of clean drinking water all year round and even make it easier for me to take care of my livestock as well. With my age, I can do very little especially now that my movement is limited due to health condition .

Biggest difference in my daily life is the water tank that I bought from my merry go round contribution that I took part in. I am a person who is aging and for this reason, I am unable to perform most of the basic duties even the basic household chores like fetching water. It is for this reason that I decided to join a merry go round contribution that saw me accumulate enough money to buy a water tank and avoid the hard task of having to go to the river to fetch water. This has made it easier for me and my family members to perform the daily household chores without much difficulties.

In the next six months I expect my life to change in that I shall have already bought the water tank and be able to think about other valuable family investment like buying additional dairy cow. Right now, I only depend on the monthly transfer that I receive from Give Directly and help from my children whenever I need any financial assistance.

I have plans of buying a dairy cow once I acquire a water tank. I shall have finished paying for the tank by end of this year and once I am done then it will allow me to invest on buying a dairy cow.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I have been able to pay for a tank at a nearby hardware. I have not paid for it fully but I am proud that I am almost done with the payment. Once I am done with the payment, I will have access to clean drinking water and save myself from the risk of contracting water borne diseases. I also have plans of buying a dairy cow from the savings made from GiveDirectly transfers. This will empower me financially and ensure that I do not sleep hungry now and in the future.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I shall have acquired a water tank and a dairy cow. Once I acquire these resources it will make my life easier and much more enjoyable than it is currently. Life for me turned for the worse when my husband died and I lost all the support that I used to get from him. I felt I was being a burden to my children by always asking them to help me out in fixing most of my problems. GiveDirectly transfers came in handy to help me meet most of my needs and I am looking forward to paying fully for the tank and buying a dairy cow that will improve my living standards in the long run.

My life is better as my health has been restored. The medication and the sufficient food that I get is only possible because I have this help from GiveDirectly. I also use part of the money to meet my daily needs and especially that are related to my personal effects. I am so grateful.

My goal is to continue with medication and healthy eating so that I can enjoy a much longer life.

The biggest difference in my daily life is good health that I currently enjoy. I have been using all the money I receive on making sure that I remain in good health through buying food and medication. I am so happy that GiveDirectly has provided for me in these years where I cannot be able to work because of old age.

I expect to have fully recovered and will be using the money to make investments in farming. I will be using the money to hire labor for my farm and grow short-season crops such as cabbages. This will be a good source of income.

Having savings in a merry go round group is one big difference in my entire life. I had never taken part in such an initiative before the transfers came. It is a very good feeling to be able to do these and use it in home improvement.

I plan to buy a dairy cow. I had one but it died due to drought. I was very ill at that time and therefore I could not manage to feed the old cow during the time of water and food scarcity. I will use the money that I will receive from my savings in a merry go round group to buy another one.

The biggest difference in my daily life is the improvement of my health. The health problem I have on my knees had become so unbearable but I could not get treatment due to lack of money. The Pain had rendered me incapable to take part in any income activities. Using the transfers, I was able to resume treatment and monthly visits to the hospital. This medication has made a huge difference in my daily life as there is no more pain.

In the next six months, I will be having a cow. This is a dairy cow that I will purchase by using the savings I have in a merry go round group.

My new goal is to buy a water tank and and buy livestock.

My life has changed since I can now afford to buy household Items from the transfer and this will also help me boost my plans despite my old age.

In the next six month my life would have improved.

The biggest difference in my life is that GD have relieved me of the burden that I have and I am happy for this always.
