"After expanding my current business I'm planning to use the additional income to start up a new business. There are a few grocery shops in our area but the demand for the vegetables is still high. I believe that when I venture in this business I'll earn a good profit. I expect to have started this business in the next six months and hopefully, I'll be earning a good income from it. This will enable me to raise the school fee for my children in the future without challenges."

"In the next six months, I will have already purchased a water tank. This will be a great step in my life. I will be fully accessible to clean water for drinking as well as for cooking. The money I would have spent will divet it to my poultry project since I plan to increase the number of chicken."

"I have the plans to start up a business because I do not have any source of income currently. This will save my spouse who is the main income earner from straining financially. He too doesn't have a reliable source of income and the little he earns from the casual is usually spent on food. With the additional income from the business, we'll be able to meet most of the family's needs without straining even after GD will have stopped sending us money."

"My expectation in the next six months is that, once I have bought a dairy cow for rearing, I will now focus on investing in intensive potatoes and vegetable farming. I want to generally do agribusiness since there is a hope of getting high returns in this sector. I believe the proceeds thereof will enable me take good care of my family. This will ensure that have enough food throughout the year."

"In the next six months, My life will be much better as compared to now because my poultry will have increased in number and so I will have some to sell hence generate more income. Besides, I will have already managed to purchase a plot with a friend and construction of the rental houses will have already kicked off."

"I was very delighted when I received I realized that I have been sent money from Give Directly. At first, I thought it was a scam and I had to check my Mpesa balance to confirm. I saw my dream of having a decent kitchen coming to reality"

"I have always been a troubled man in the past because I had so much to fulfil for my family. I didn't have any other source of money since I currently do not have any source of income and always depend on casual labour for a living. I have a small piece of land but couldn't afford to farm it because of capital to purchase seeds and so I continually leased it to someone who can afford to farm. Receiving money from GiveDirectly was a powerful financial breakthrough to my family since together with my spouse, we decided to fulfil two of our family goals of constructing a house for my sons and purchasing the dairy cow. My entire family is now very happy because my sons now have somewhere to sleep at night as well as study. I am also generally happy as a parent because I no longer worry about my sons' safety. Owning a dairy cow is also a great step in my life since our community really respect a man with livestock. This too will in the near future greatly reduce my dairy budget of purchasing milk for my family consumption."

"Being a student and my parents do not have a reliable source of income yet they still take care of my younger siblings, I'm planning to use the coming transfers to meet my needs while at the campus. This will enable my parents to meet the needs of the younger siblings withouut straining. In the next six months, I expect to meet most of my needs on my own."

"I owned 5 acre piece of land five years ago which i had to sell in order to pay medical bills for my wife who latter passed away after being ill for long. I was left with 1acre which i practice my farming in. This has been challenging to me in that my cattle can't get surplus feeds from the farm which forces me to herd them along the roads thus exposing them to bacterial infections and diseases"

"In the next six months l expect to have started saving and in order to join a technical school to further my education and better his future."
