"In the next six months, I would want to continue with my savings. I would want to save till I get the amount needs to buy building materials and paying masons who will construct the house. I would want to achieve my goal with this opportunity given to me by GD."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will be in a position to pay the school fees on time and devote my time to doing horticulture farming to earn an income by selling the produce."

"In the next six months, I will have finished paying dowery and hopefully will have purchased a cow for rearing."

"Building a decent house for my family had been my desired goal for so long but I had not been able to fulfill it due to a lack of finances. Seeing how old our house was and how tired my wife and children were after walking for a long distance looking for clay used to shatter my heart into pieces. GiveDiverectlys transfer enabled me to achieve my dream of building a decent house and I am now a happy and contented person. Currently, I can proudly say that my life is different from how it was before and even people who had seen my previous house can attest to this."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have saved enough money from my horticulture project and from the merry go round group that we have in our village. I will be in a position to build a better house for the family and even pay school fees for my son who is yet to join primary school. I will have enough food and sell the surplus at the market to meet other household needs."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have bought a heifer. I used to buy milk from my neighbors and it is so costly for me. I depend on casual jobs in the village to earn an income. The amount of money that I get through this was so small and only enough for the basic needs. I had no other source of income to enable me to buy a heifer. Currently, I have gotten hope that when my cow had reproduced I will be in a position to get enough milk for my family and also sell the surplus milk at the market to earn an income to meet other basic needs for my family. I no longer do much of the casual jobs but rather devote much of my time on my farm doing my own activities. GiveDirectly has given me hope to be self-employed rather than work for people all day."

"In the next six months l would have continue saving to enable me achieve my dream of completing plastering my house."

"In the next six months I will continue pay my school fee to staying in a school like other students and this will really improve my performance."

"I had a cereals business one year ago that collapsed ago due to lack of money.I have the idea of restarting it again when I receive the money from Give Directly. I would like to invest Ksh 80,000(800 USD) in this business. My aim is making a profit of Ksh 2,000 a day. I will be collecting maize at a cheaper price from farmers then selling at a store which I will rent in the nearby shopping center."

"Imagine in a polygamous family of 3 wives living in a small and leaking grass-thatched house, where the rooms are congested with beds leaving no space. I have had the desire to own a decent house but due to financial instability, this wish has never materialized something that has forced me to cancel many visitors' appointments with the fear of lacking space to accommodate them. Our plan with my co-wives is to make contributions of $200 each to aid in house construction in order to have a decent home that we can boost of. My other plan is to use $380 to buy oxen and ox plow that will help me to upscale my farming and this will assure me of maximum farm produce hence, food security to my family. "
