"I expect my life in the next six months will be better because, at that time, I will have cut down the milk expenses since I will now have a dairy cow. My business will have also expanded because most of the profits will be rolled over and so it means I will have more income to sustain my family needs"

"My expectations in the next six months is that my life will have changed. Since the poultry project will have picked up so well, I expect a constant income from the sale of eggs. I also expect that by that time to have purchased the dairy cow hence we will no longer spend so much on purchasing milk since we will now have sufficient both for my family consumption as well as for sale"

"I believe boosting my business will give me a better profit in the next six months. I have school-going children and whatever profit I get from my business will enable me to support them in terms of fee payment and also buying food. I will also stop doing the hectic casual jobs that pay very little wages unlike before.,"

"Apart from being able to cater for my personal needs, I also paid my school fees. I am planning to continue paying my school fees until I finish school. I don't want to start any other project at the moment because there is a high chance I might drop out of school. My parents don't have a stable job and I am sure they won't manage to pay my school fees and meet our family household needs at the same time."

"My expectation in the near future is to be able to improve our lifestyle. Their certain things we can't afford at the moment such as buying good clothes and eating a well-balanced diet. I can only achieve this by ensuring I am financially stable. I hope the poultry and the dairy project that I am planning to start will be successful help me achieve all my goals. I also don't want to let down my children. With these projects, I will be able to pay their school fees comfortably."

"My son's education comes first before anything else. Once I have settled his expenses, I am planning to save some money and buy a water tank. I want to start harvesting rainwater. I currently spend quite a lot of money to buy water since where we fetch is very far. I will be able to save a lot once I buy a water reservoir."

"My expectation in the near future is to invest well and live a more comfortable life. I also want to improve my lifestyle by building a better house and buying a water tank. This will reduce the number of resources that goes into these activities. Generally, want to have an improved life now that I am getting old and Give Directly are also almost finishing their projects in this village."

"I expect my life to change in the next six-month in that I will have invested the remaining amount of transfers that I normally get from Give Directly. I know this help won't last forever so I better think of ways I will survive and elevate my living standards after Give Directly has finished their program in this village. I am also tired of borrowing and taking items on credit from my neighbors and the local stores."

"The farming investments that I have managed to get using the transfer will be sources of income in the next six months. From the crops that I have planted, I will be harvesting enough for the household's food and more for sale. I will be thriving well in both farming and business."

"I believe that my goat rearing project will do well. Depending on how successful it will be, I will decide whether I will continue to invest in it or not. But I am interested in doing this business at a larger scale because it looks promising. The risks involved are very minimal and preventable. They also come in handy where there is an urgent financial need. This will prevent me from taking loans."
