"I expect my life to have joined the Kenya Medical Training College. I hope to become a nurse and improve my life later when I get employed. Joining college will be the biggest chance that I will have taken to having a good life. The money I am receiving from GiveDireclty is what I am using to accumulated money for fees, meaning that these transfers are the key reason why I will have a career in this life. Thank you so much for these transfers."

"The only goal I have now is to continue boosting my cloth business by adding more stock. This has been my main source of income and though I have been doing it on the streets, I would want to make it more stable to an extent where I rent a premise. This will help increase my sales which will be an increase in income from the profits."

"When I received my first transfer, I spent part of it to buy a dairy cow worth KES 23000. I settled on this so that when it calves, I will be able to save the money I would otherwise use in buying milk. Also, I spent some amount to pay school fees for the whole year for my children. On the remaining amount, I bought two sacks of maize, some beans, rice and other household necessities to last my family for some time after buying a solar lamp on higher purchase terms."

"One of my children was starting her high school education at the start of the year. On top of that, I have two other children in different secondary schools. All three children needed school fees and I did not have any and I was contemplating selling one of my livestock tp meet these needs. As if God was listening to me, I received the transfers from GiveDirectly which really helped me pay the school fees. As if that was not enough I was able to buy another cow using the second transfer. I am so happy that I did not lose livestock but indeed got an additional one to the ones I already have. I am so grateful for GiveDirectly."

"After separating from my spouse a few years ago, I have been living within my parent's compound with my children. This come with its own challenges such as regular conflicts and less freedom as I was under their care. Now that I have my own piece of land, I am glad that I will soon be living there independently. I have already bought some iron sheets in preparation to build a house within the piece of land. I am excited that my dream of owning my own piece of land was finally achieved and I cannot GiveDirectly enough for making this dream happen!"

"I expect to be earning a higher income from the shop business. I will have been spending the money I receive to expand the business by buying more stock for the shop. I am expecting a slowdown in the next few weeks as the spread of the Corona Virus may cause people to hoard money for security reasons."

"I expect to have completed the problem of the social distancing period and that the corona Virus Pandemic will be over. I will then focus on expanding my poultry keeping project. I expect to be making a higher income from egg production and also trading more in them."

"In the next six months, I believe that I would need more finances to support my children and also to cater to other family needs. My prime goal is to save much as I can so as to support my children's education. What I will be remaining after saving, I intend to spend it on buying farm inputs so that when I get to harvest the produce I would have food for the family. The surplus, I would sell to generate income which will enable me to support my children in school."

"In the next six months, I expect to have completed the construction of the chicken coop and will have brought in the chicks. With the current plans I have I believed that the whole process will take me at most five months."

"In the next six months, we are expecting to have completed the construction work and will at least be relieved of the great work. We are currently sourcing only cement and bricks since we already have other requirements and once we find all of them, the construction work will be picking."
