"I would say I do not expect any change yet because my plan of buying goats I am still working on it by saving the little I remained with from mY monthly transfers, after buying food for my family because they also myst eat well."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to build an iron roofed house. The one that I have leaks the fact that it is grass thatched. This will provide a better shade for my family making it safer to live in. I will also buy house hold items for my home.This will make the house beatiful.There will be no shame in hosting visitors. "

"The biggest hardship I face in ny life is lack of a clear way of getting income. I am a widow staying with my daughter. My main source of income is through farming and this is hit hard some times by drought or floods which leaves me with no money for solving family problems."

"An additional goal for my life for the next four months is to buy another goat for rearing. This is because I am planning to start a goat rearing project for future financial security."

"The biggest hardship I face in ny life is inability to break the viscious cycle of poverty. I can not afford to get income that I would spend solving family problems like paying school fees and medical bills. My main source is through farming which is constrained by lack of enough land hence little production and poverty."

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to complete my iron-roofed house for rental and buy a cow. I currently do not have any source of earning yet Iam sickly and some times get stranded on treatment. The house once complete ,people will be renting thus providing me with money for upkeep like treatment and feeding. The cow will be like a custodian asset for future eventualities."

"My expectation in the near future is to buy a bigger piece of land. We currently live in a small piece that is too small fo our farming activities. This will allow me to improve my scope of farming. This will lead to an improved productivity which in the long run will improve our financial status from what we sell."

"I do not expect any change in my life because I will be still paying fees for my son until he finishes his Secondary School, after which I will have some time to think of the next project."

"The moment I received my money I felt so happy. I remember it was very early in the morning when my daughter was checking my phone as usually. She immediately informed me that GiveDirectly has sent me a sum of 55000 KES. I was so happy because I knew my dream of building a better house was going to be an easy task for me. My children too were so happy and they really celebrated."

"The moment I received my money from GiveDirectly I felt so happy. I remember it was very early in the morning when my neighbor called me asking if I had received the money. I immediately checked my phone to confirm whether I had received the sum of money. To my surprise, I had just received a sum of KES 55000 and I could not believe my eyes. Never before had I received such amount of money in my entire life. I was particularly happy because I knew I would finally be able to buy a dairy cow that I had always hoped to buy but without success due to limited resources at my disposal."
