"In the next six months, I know I will be having the poultry project already in place. I have started saving for the project and in the same determination I had when I was saving to buy the cow, I know I will soon get the money to kickstart the project. I have seen how investment has changed some of my friend's lives and with this opportunity given by GD, I will also make it count in my life."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I own a motorcycle. This motorcycle serves as my source of income. I generally use it to transport goods and people to various locations thereafter get paid for the service offered. Before, I was employed to ride my employee's motorcycle and paid on commission at the end of the day. It was very challenging for me to cater to my family's needs because the commissions were little. Today, I am glad since I enjoy the work of my toil and my income has doubled simply because I earn all the profit from this business by myself. I can provide my family's daily needs with ease and give my spouse 300 KES as savings. We intend to buy a cow with the savings when the money would have accumulated enough."

"Previously, the villagers would gossip that even after staying in my late grandmother's house as the tradition requires after her death, I did not look like someone who was in a hurry to build my own house. Thankfully, courtesy of Givedirectly's transfer, I was able to build my own house because the duration of staying in that house was long overdue. The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am no longer the talk of the village since I have been able to build a decent iron-roofed house which makes fit in the status quo of the rest unlike before when I stayed in a grass thatched house."

"I own a dairy cow that in the six months it shall have given birth to a calf hence the milk I will be getting in a day basis . I can proudly say will be helpful in term of ; I would no longer buy milk but rather my children shall drink milk on a daily basis from our own cow and sell the surplus to cater for my children's education . Therefore , with the cow I am able to plan for my future hence that the biggest difference in my daily life ."

"Now I am stress-free as I got to earn a good income through the business which I started. The money which I make from the cereals business which I do engage in has enabled me to raise school fees for my children and buy food. Before I would borrow some cash from friends and sometimes the lender come for it before the agreed time. This would really stress me and that I felt relieved when I invested part of the cash on my business which is now giving me good earnings."

"My life is currently different in that I now have a new house after receiving this transfer. I was living in a small grass thatched house with my family which was getting a little less comfortable especially with the increasing size of my family. Having constructed this new house has given me so much joy within my family and the ability to think of other new investments that will change my life altogether. I feel so much indebted to GiveDirectly for this."

"In the next six months, I expect to see a great change in my life since the poultry project will have started and will be running alongside livestock farming. This to me means that the income sources will have increased and will enable me to start another viable project in the future."

"I expect to have a new house in the next six months since this is my major goal. In addition, I also expect to have expanded my porridge business because it is my major source of livelihood. Having expanded my porridge business will give me more money to enable me to provide for my family the basic needs with a lot of ease,"

"In the next six months, my daughter will have joined college and hopefully, I will have paid part of the school fees and issued her with money for upkeep. As a parent, my dream is to see my children prosper."

"My life is currently different in that I have improved my poshomill business within the village. This has led to increased levels of income for the family and brought about a rise in the living standards of my family as well. We look forward to even better days ahead."
