"I am looking forward to raring livestock given that I have my own compound and freedom of space. This will be a dream come true. I have longed for this ever since I got married to my husband."

"I plan to build a new house that will see my family live in a bigger house. I also expect to save more and buy furniture and other household items to beautify my house. I believe my home will be the envy of the entire village when I shall have finished building it."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have saved some money that I receive from GiveDirectly to pay school fees for my child who will be joining form one next year."

"Despite being an employed teacher, my father has shown no shred of value for education since he declined to take my siblings and I through school out of sheer negligence. My relentless urge for education could not let me give up so I educated myself through university. As if not enough, I've had to bear the burden of catering for the cost of my three siblings' secondary education. After completing university last year, I have since secured a teaching contract in a nearby secondary school in spite of which I do not have a single development project for a show, thanks to over dependency. This is the biggest hardship I've faced in my life. Nevertheless, I have massive faith that the GiveDirectly cash transfer is going to relieve me of this yoke. This is a big sigh of relief."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have saved enough from the sells to enable me to increase the number of acres of land that I do farm."

"In the next six months of my life, I expect to have completed the current course that I'm taking. I believe after that I'll be able to open my own beauty shop and own a salon."

"Receiving this money means a financial instability decline in my household. Currently, I work as a matatu tout, and the struggle I undergo each day to sustain the needs of the family is overwhelming. This is the only source of income that the family depends on for food, clothing, education and health care; something that is constraining given that it is hardly enough to cater for all that. Therefore, receiving this money will enable me to venture into other income-generating activities. First, I desire to start up a kiosk business for my wife. Having her work and at least earn an income will be a great boost to the household. Again, I plan to venture into livestock farming as a long-term investment for my children's education. Having these two major projects up and running will give me an easy time in the near future."

"Receiving this money means a source of income for my family. Being a retired teacher, and still having children who need educational support, most of my pension goes to school fee leaving none for other family needs. In most instances, I struggle a lot to even provide a decent meal to the family. Therefore, once I receive my transfer, I will put more focus on children's education, something that is so dear to me. Again since I spend most of my time at home, I want to invest in goat rearing business, particularly the indigenous breed. It is not a labor-intensive venture and goats are not susceptible to diseases and pest. Besides, their breeding rate is high."

"In the next six months i expect that to continue using the pit latrine that I build using give directly's. My family will no longer use bush to help themselves as before because hygienically it is not good."

"I live just across the forest where there is enough pasture for livestock.I have always desired to expand my dairy farming by buying two more cows to add to the two that I have.The milk that I will get from the cows will be a good source of income.The remaining part of the transfers will help me plant animal feeds which will help me feed the cows during the dry season."
