"My life will have changed in the next six months because I anticipate abundant yields from my farm after employing modern mechanisms in preparing my parcel of on time. This will assure me of food security in my household as compared to the previous years."

"In the next six months I expect to continue saving the money to plaster the remaining part of the house."

"In the next six month I would have started saving some money from my business of charging phones to enable me to start the business of selling domestic goods."

"For a long time livestock keeping has been the backbone of education for my children. They go to school out of income I earn from sale of milk. I currently have two cows which give me 6 litres of milk for sale everyday. With a price of 40 KES per litre, my income for the day is 240 KES and 7,200 KES (72usd) per month. With my first transfer I am planning to buy an extra dairy cow which can give me at least 5 litres per day. I anticipate to see my monthly income rise to 13,200 KES (132usd) thanks to the cash transfer program. This increase in income is going to boost my shopkeeping business by restocking more products. Some of the items I deal in include household items like sugar, salt, cooking oil, soap etc and clothing. I hope to establish my enterprise as successful enough to make enough savings for my children's future education even in tertiary level."

"Casual work such as washing clothes or fetching water in people's homes is what sustains us. I make 2 dollars a day at most from this and it is not enough even just for buying food only. What strains me most is paying my son's school fees which is 18500 shillings in one term (3 months). Hence, financial instability is my constant worry in life. "

"Food insecurity has been my biggest hardship since I am a widow and a sole breadwinner for the family. Considering that I have been depending on subsistence farming with old methods of land preparation, my produce has been rarely sustaining us for even one month. Since I am financially challenged, skipping our meals has been the order of our day."

"I have been depending on livestock rearing as my long term investment plan, mostly goats. In 2017, I sold all my livestock in order to educate my two children who were in secondary school by then. As at today, I have not been able to obtain enough money to restart this investment, something that makes my life difficult. Receiving this money means a good restart of my of raising livestock. I will spend my first transfer to purchase ten goats at 25 dollars each.."

"I have always wanted to fence my compound with barbed wire and wire mesh in order to restrict my poultry and cattle from destroying my neighbour's crops, something that has seen us quarrel day in day out. Receiving this money will therefore help me fence my compound thus earning back my respect. I also intend to add more chicken to my farm in order to boost the income i usually generate from selling poultry products"

"I have been planning to do more of livestock farming to supplement what I get from my teaching job.I will therefore buy a heifer which will cost me around Ksh 30,000(300USD).This will be an improved breed compared to the one I own.My aim is getting more milk for consumption and for sale.I will also expand poultry farming by buying an improved breed of chicks.This will mean that I have to put up new structures(120USD) and buy chicks worth 80 USD."

"In the next six months, I expect to boost my poultry project since my aim is to get double production as to compared with the ones I am generating at the moment. I shall get a number of eggs and chicken not only for sale but also for my household's consumption. Therefore, we shall be obtaining high nutritional food at a low cost even after GiveDirectly has phased out of our village."
