My new goal for the next four months is to invest more in poultry keeping by purchasing more chicken. This will enable me to have a constant supply of eggs for sale. Poultry keeping is also not tedious and neither expensive as compared to other projects

I used to depend fully on my spouse for upkeep because I didn't have any income. When I started receiving GD transfers, I was very happy because nowadays I no longer fully depend on my spouse for my upkeep. The money I receive from GiveDirectly has really improved my appearance because I can now afford to purchase new decent clothes as well as I can freely visit my friends and relatives without having to ask for money from my spouse.

My expectation in the next six months is that I believe my poultry project will have stabilized hence boost my income. I also expect to have completed constructing the new house hence have enough rooms for my family as well as for guests. Generally, I believe my living standards will have greatly improved

The difference in my current life from how it was four months ago is that I am an independent woman that my household can also rely on. With the monthly transfer from GD, I have been able to provide for my family basic needs unlike before when I used to heavily depend on my husband. I access my personal basic needs with easy since I am empowered by GiveDirectly. I currently have more and easy time in the farm since I take fewer minutes cleaning my renovated house unlike before when I used to go round for long distance to collect clay and another time to smear my mud floor of the house hence I see my farming to be doing better currently unlike before due more time given to.

I have improved my livestock rearing to semi-zero grazing to maximize the small piece of land I have and since I did so I have enjoyed better returns. In the next four months, a new goal I have for my life is to buy a small piece of land to add to my piece I have so that I can grow livestock feed to help in reducing the cost of milk production hence will have more income to meet family basic needs invest in other goals.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is the renovation of my house. I was able to use the savings I had accumulated from my monthly payment for GiveDirectly to cement my mud floor of the house and this is my happiness since I currently don't have to waste a lot of time every now then repairing it. I have more time to do farming that I used to spend going round different rivers to collect clay hence can enjoy better returns from my farm. It is easy to clean and healthier to live in my current cemented house with my young family since we are no longer exposed to a lot of dust like before. I am so happy that I have a house that meets the current modern in the society hence I am proud of it and it always boosts my self-esteem in the society and confidence of welcome anyone to my place unlike before.

In the next six months, I expect to have bought a piece of land and I will have more livestock feeds for my cows. I expect to be earning better income from this livestock keeping since will not be spending again on their feeds like now hence will be more financially stable meaning meeting both personal and household basic need will be easier and I will be more flexible to invest in other income-generating activities due to higher returns.

Depending on somebody to purchase for personal need is a burden. Sometimes you need something urgently and maybe he does not have money to cater for you. It will force you to leave it because you have no otherwise. Thanks to GiveDirectly I managed to start poultry keeping using the transfers. Right now I am able to afford anything I am in need of.

My new goal in the next four months is to purchase more chickens. I will use the transfers buy purchasing at least 3 chickens every month.

The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I used to depend mostly on my spouse for everything but now I can support my self. Initially, I used to stay at home doing nothing only to wait for my spouse to buy all the household needs and even my personal needs. This was a real burden for him because he could not find enough to cater for us all. Thanks to GiveDireclty. I managed to use the transfers to purchase chickens. This has given me income from the eggs. Nowadays I am happy I have an income. I am no longer a liability to my spouse atleast I can assist him in meeting households needs while he is paying school fees for our children.

We expect in the six months to have bought extra land. This will help use us plant more feed for a dairy cow. We will facilitate this by using income from the tea plants we have and that we have saved from the transfers.

In the last four months I was not able to work in my farm because I was feeling unwell, but right now I have accessed medication from the hospital using the transfer i received from Givedirectly and I can devote all my energy into farming.

My additional goal is to build another room for my children.

The biggest difference in my life is the ability to access medication unlike before where I didnt had money and I'm now feeling well again, and able to concentrate on my farm to provide enough food for my family.

In the next six months, I would have completed building a new room and my children to sleep and also add a dairy cow.

The new goals that I have gotten since I started receiving the transfer include; improving my kitchen and adding more hens.

My life is currently different from how it would have been if I had not received the transfer in that more income from my poultry farming gives me effort to afford my daily basic needs.My life is easier currently due to enough food that I bought for my poultry farming using the transfer.Income from my farm has empowered me and am able to provide for my family.

I expect to be living in better standards in the next six months since I will have improved my kitchen house, my zero grazing farm will be well developed and productive.I expect my family be able to get a balance diet meal since I will be in a better position to provide for.

The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving the transfer is that my life is going to be easier due to enough chickens food that I bought for my poultry farming using the transfer.I am happy that I do not struggle a lot to feed my hens unlike before.
