I have a new goal of saving and buying livestock for rearing as the financial security of the family.

The biggest difference in my daily life is the fact that I have been able to buy food for my family even if I am not able to earn income. I used to struggle so much and juggle between one tedious job to the next trying to put food on the table for my family. Sometimes it was really fruitful but other days we would even go hungry but with the transfers that changed. I have been able to buy clothes for myself and my family and we now have presentable clothes to wear when going on any occasion.

In the next six months, I shall have bought the livestock for rearing as a form of financial security for my family. The livestock can easily multiply and whenever we are faced with any fiancial difficulties, we shall have something to fall back to.

If it wasn't for GD, it would have been challenging to raise money for purchasing food for the family and chances are high that my family would be going without a full day's meal. This is because my income couldn't afford the full day's meal but I'm glad through the GD transfers I was able to purchase food for the family. This is how different my life is from how it was four months ago.

Since people are currently harvesting, I won't be spending much on foodstuffs. Therefore, for the next four months of my life, I have an additional goal of saving the coming transfers so that I can use it to purchase a cow for rearing. With the cow, I'm assured of getting enough milk for the family and additional cow after it has given birth.

The last four months have been hardship period because it's the farming season and at this time most people have already consumed all the farm produce from the previous harvest. I'm grateful I didn't experience the hardship because of the additional transfers from GD which made life easier since I was able to comfortably purchase foodstuffs for the family.

In the next six months of my life, I expect to have raised enough money to purchase at least two cows. With the cows, I'll be assured of enough milk and at the same time, I'll have additional cows after they have given birth.

Within the last four months, I have been able to use these transfers to buy my children new shoes and clothes. Buying such items for them was not an easy task in the past because the profits I usually make out of my business is so little that I could not manage to take care of the daily household needs and others such as clothes. For this reason, my children only received such items on special occasions such as holidays and during important celebrations.

I do not have any livestock at the moment and I want to use GD transfers to change that by buying a few goats in the next three months. I am aware that I am in the final year of the transfers and I would like to invest part of the money on something that will be with me for many more years after the project. I have settled on buying goats because they are quite affordable, easy to rear and they reproduce very fast. My plan is to save the next three transfers so that I can buy two goats to start me off on the project.

I depend on a small business which can barely take care of my family's needs. Being the sole provider of my family, most of my profits are mostly channelled to foodstuff because it is mostly not much. I was not able to meet my children's other basic needs such as buying them clothes and shoes due to low income, but in the past few months, this has been quite achievable with the help of these transfers as I managed to buy them new ones. Seeing them better dressed in non-patched clothes gives me great joy because I can also see how comfortable they are now mingling with their agemates.

I am planning to buy goats using my next three transfers. In the next six months, this will no longer be a plan but a reality and that is the change that I expect in my life. Having livestock in my compound will be a great achievement because it is something I have never owned my entire life.

I have been living in a semi-permanent house which I built when I was still employed. After employment, life has not been easy on me especially in terms of finances. I have struggled to achieve all my goals like painting my house but due to low income from casual work, this has not been possible. I have been saving the little cash I get from GD and I was able to paint my whole house which now looks presentable and neat. In as much as I don't have any stable source of income, I am happy because the status of my house tells a different story. This is the doing of the Lord through GD.

I would want to ensure my children are never sent home for school fees as before. I will be paying their school fees bit by bit until I clear the balance. I believe when they are done with studies, they will get good joibs andf make my life better.

The biggest difference in my life since I strated receiving this transfer is that I am sure every month I get money from GD. Before, I really used to struggle through casual work where at times I would miss work at all and would not get any pay hence my family would go without food. Since I started receiving this transfer, I ahve been able to plan well and ensure my family never goes without food at all. This really makes me happy.

I want to share the little I get by paying school fees and to buy building materials which I will use to build a new kitchen. We have been cooking outside our house since our house is too small to accommodate cooking space and this is risky especially at night. The kitchen will also serve as sleeping place for my children.

At the moment I wouldn't say I have any new goal, maybe with time I'll have a new goal.

At the moment there is no difference in my life but I believe as I continue receiving the money I'll have a difference.

In the next six months, I expect to have built a decent kitchen that my children can use for sleeping because the one I have currently is not in good condition.

The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving the money is that I feel proud having painted my house. This is one thing I have always longed for doing but I couldn't afford it.
