"In the next six months, I am expecting to live a better life. I expect to have completed home improvement by putting up a bigger house. This will top up to the peace that I am currently enjoying with my wife. I am to mend my relationship that was brought about by my inability to provide by proper utilizing the money I get from GiveDirectly to do more. I am certain that this is the only way of can make up for my family."

"I expecting my life to have become better and my home more comfortable. In the next six months, I will have connected my home to electricity and bought a television set. I have seen governments' efforts to supply electricity to our village that are underway. I will not be left out when this happens. I will then buy a television set using the money I get from farming. I am grateful that GiveDirectly transfers offset the biggest burden od=f school fees payment and completing home construction. I now hope to connect electricity to my home and live and live a more comfortable life."

"I expect my life to have improved in the next months. I know that my poultry project will be larger whereby I will be collecting about 20 eggs per day instead of the current 10 eggs. This will be sold at the price of KES 200 per day which is almost equal to my daily household expenditure of KES 300 per day."

"The biggest difference in my life is the very complete house that I had been struggling with for a long time. I spent the money on completing the house, painting it and buying furniture. It looks great and makes me happy to live in it with all the improvements that I made."

"I have had a shoe business for the past year. I started with a very small stock since I did not have much money to start it the way I wanted. Over the months, I have been using part of my profits to boost it though it has been very gradual. This is because of the small profit I get from the business has also been for use for family needs. With GD transfers, I have managed to balance how to meet my needs and even boost the business. Right now, I have seen positive improvement in the business and I know very soon, I will manage to rent a place for the business as I have always wanted."

"My life is different because I now have access to clean water. I bought a water tank that stores rainwater. This water is safe for drinking unlike the ones from a water pond that I used to drink. I would not have gotten money to buy a huge water tank because my reliance on menial jobs and subsistence farming would not have enabled me to buy one. Thank you so much GoveDirectly."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I shall have fixed an iron sheet roof and replace the grassed that one by buying building materials every month with the sent transfer. This is because at the moment the leaky grass-thatched roof of my house is in a deplorable condition which has made it risky for our habitation."

"In the next six months, I am hopeful I will have cleared my school fees and even paid for my exams. Initially, my parents used to struggle to ensure my school fees was settled. They had to do two jobs to meet the household needs as well as support my siblings. It was a hand to mouth lifestyle but as we speak the burden they carried on their shoulder has been reduced. The poultry project will be up and running hopefully. This will help ease the financial burden."

"I am currently operating the clothes business that I started using the transfers at a stall located by the roadside where I do not get a good number of customers. My plan is to expand the business by renting a stall in one of the busy markets in Eastleigh where I also have a number of customers whom I mostly deliver to. To achieve this goal, I have to save the transfers for two to three months so that I can raise the amount required to rent the stall. Once I have the stall, I am certain my business will improve because I will have many customers as this place is usually very busy."

"I expect my life to have improved after enclosing the chickens in an area. I t will enable me to rear more chicken in a protected area. It will increase egg production. I will then be able to meet my daily needs from the income which is a big help because of my old age. I can't work on the farm anymore."
