"My new goal is to make sure that I visit my wife's place. It is the right time to visit my inlaws after postponing for ten years. This will show commitment to this marriage. I will even gain my respect and dignity to my parents-in-law. My wife will also feel valued and loved after this move."

"My life is currently different from how it was in that, I have regular income after starting a juice business using the previous transfer. My future is also bright after building rental houses using the third transfer. All these combined with the upcoming business will definitely scale up my living standards to another level."

"My new goal is to buy land where my family home will finally sit. This will be like transforming since we will no longer pay rent which has always been stressing. I am working hard in order to fulfill this dream."

"In six months’ time, I expect to have settled down and married. I feel that the transfers from GiveDirectly have given me the empowerment to be able to provide and take care of someone. I also feel now that I no longer give out land just for money, I will instead continue cultivating even on a large scale. The harvests would be enough for me to provide for the family that I hope I will have started by that time."

"I do not have a new goal at the moment. I am determined to repay a loan that I had taken for the motorcycle. I do not want to be employed forever and this is why I want to work hard and offset the full amount that is remaining."

"I am a motorbike taxi driver since 2017. I have been hiring one from my neighbor for this activity . My wish has been acquire my own motorbike but l have not accomplish this desire due to insufficient financial resources. Receiving this money means realization of my dreams since I intend to spend $ 450 of my transfer on purchasing a secondhand motorbike. This will earn me an income of 5 dollars per day, with this I will easily meet the basic needs of my family. I will spend the remaining amount in purchasing oxen to assist my wife in farming something that will change our lives for the better."

"In six months’ time, I expect to have bought a cow which should be a dairy one for one important reason – milk. I hope that once the cow has calved, I will be in a position to have plenty of milk both for family use and for sale. Selling would mean that my family would not be struggling with daily needs provision since we will be using the money we get from the sale of milk."

"Receiving this money means financial stability to my family. At the moment, my husband borrowed 6 cows from our neighbor with the aim of rearing and get milk for sale to earn us income. He usually sells 5 liters every day at Ksh40 per liter. Despite his much struggle, we sometimes skip our meals because this income is insufficient. My desire has been to own 4 dairy cows once I receive the transfers from GiveDirectly. This will mean more milk and hence, more money since I will be having a reliable source of income. Part of the transfers will help me to buy new beddings to replace the old ones because they no longer give me better sleep."

"In six months’ time, I expect to have already built a bigger house that will accommodate all of my family members. I also plan to buy a cow and I also hope that by that time, I will be rearing a cow. I also hope to be getting milk from this both for commercial use and for family use."

"The moment I received money from GiveDirectly, I became very happy because I had got money to construct an iron roofed house that I had desired."
