"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I am planning to boost my welding business since this is the major source of my livelihood. I am planning to employ another extra person who can work when I am not around as I look for another market."

"The kitchen I am using currently is grass thatched. The roof is in a bad condition such that it leaks during rainy seasons. This forces me to purchase grass twice a year for repairing the roof which is very costly. I'm planning to save the coming transfers and purchase iron sheets so that I can change the current leaking roof once and for all. I'm hopeful that in the next six months I'll have constructed a new roof."

"My expectation in the next six months is to invest in farming. This is what I am good at. I want to have more produce that will sustain my family for a long time and extra which I can sell to meet family goals."

"My focus currently is on ensuring that my business grows. Since it's my main source of income, I would wish to invest as much and ensure it becomes successful. I'm, therefore, planning to use the coming transfers to construct a bigger store for the business. Therefore, in the next six months, I'm hopeful that I'll have a permanent structure for the business thereafter I'll use the rest of the transfers to add more stock to it so that it can grow bigger and better."

"Business is my main source of income but currently, I'm not earning a lot from it. I'm planning to use the coming transfers to boost it so that it can generate more income which will enable me to pay for my children's school fee on time. Therefore, for the next six months, I expect to have boosted the business and hopefully I'll be earning a good profit from it."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I would have started my goat rearing project. This will act as my financial security."

"I only hope that by the time this project ends next year, I will have cleared the school fee balance that my two children still owe their respective schools. I know that after the project, life will be tough and raising the school fees will also be tough because I do not have any stable source of income. For this reason, I wish to clear this year's school fees and pay some of next year's for me not have such a hard time next year."

"The moment I received the transfer, I became so happy. I thanked God and asked him to continue blessing GiveDirectly. I keep praying for this organisation and the staff every day."

"In the next six months, I expect to see a lot of changes in my life. The major expectation I have is the purchasing of a cow which is our new goal at the moment. I have this expectation since by then I will have gotten the contribution from the merry-go-round."

"I am planning to save some of the coming transfers so that I can open up a small business for my spouse. Thereafter I'll use some of the money to purchase more sheep so that I can add to the one I had bought. I'm hopeful that after six months, I'll have saved enough money to both start up a business for my spouse and for purchasing a sheep. These investments shall be very helpful to me and my family in improving the living standards."
