"In the next six months, I will have bought a water tank hence no more water scarcity through the year. I also subdivided my peace of land into small paddocks. This will help me to efficiently graze animals. I will not be spending much of my time taking care of the cattle but rather have an enclosed area where they will graze. These two ventures will leave me with ample time to do other constructive work"

"It was a long-time goal of buying a cow that showed up early that morning upon realizing that I had received money from GiveDirectly. I had wished for long to buy a dairy a cow to relive me the burden of buying milk daily but I couldn't due to limited resources. I felt so happy when I saw the money in my Mpesa account since I knew I would be able to get the cow I had wished for long."

"My life is currently different from how it was in that I have successfully finished a catering course in a college which was fully sponsored using the transfer. I am glad that I have started getting some deals hence able to take care of my needs easily."

"In the next six months, I will still be in school studying. I still plan to use my transfers as fare. I will be saving and ensure I will never have to walk to and from school any day yet I receive my transfers from GD. This is the difference the transfers will bring to my life in the next six months."

"In the next six months I expect that my poultry keeping project shall have improved by a great extent. I shall also have improved my maize selling business as well and raise the general living standards of my family. I am so much indebted to GiveDirectly for the support they have offered so far."

"In the next four months, I expect to have gotten and saved enough money to lease a piece of land which I intend to plant beans on a better scale of land. The small piece of land which we own in our household has never been enough to produce enough foodstuff to serve our household and it has been my prayer that I will one day get enough money so that I can lease a piece of extra land for farming operations."

"I am the happiest person since GiveDirectly's transfers changed my life acquiring dairy cows I couldn't afford to buy due to low income selling my farm produce is my major occupation is farming . With the dairy cow, I will benefit from the milk that its production shall be in large scale . Then use some and sell the rest in order to earn income hence provision of my family's needs will no longer be a struggle like before. Secondly, I was able to pay school fees for my children on time which enable me to gain peace of mind and happiest that was driven by an assuarity of my children attendance to school would be consistent ."

"The moment I received my money I felt so happy because I have never received such an amount of money before. I remember it was very early in the morning when I heard a message from my phone, When I checked it I felt so happy because it was confirming that I have received a sum of 55000 KES from GiveDirectly. I immediately inform my spouse and children and they were all happy. I knew from that point that I will be able to build a better and spacious house for my family."

"In the six months, I plan to buy new household items such as seats and utensils after building the new house. The ones I have are old because they have lasted three years now. They are the ones I had at the time I got married. I feel its time I have new ones. Therefore, after building the house, I will save my monthly transfers so that I may be able to buy new items and make the whole house new."

"I felt so happy the moment I received my transfer. I heard my phone ring at exactly 5:30 am in the morning. We were expecting to receive the money but the reality of receiving it at that time of the night and what it meant to me made me so excited. I went back to sleep as I pondered on my next move and how I would spend my money."
