"In the next six months, I expect to have managed to have completed the water tank purchasing project. I am still working hard to see that I accumulated the savings in the group enough to purchase a large water tank. This is my dream project since it will reduce the time I have been wasting in walking all along from home to the river and back. I am really grateful that all these are possible through giveDirectly which is dedicated to funding our projects of choice."

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is sickness. I am a widow and at the same time sick. I can not work as expected. Going to hospital would be the ideal but I don't have money to do so. Since my husband died, I am just alone as an individual. We used to share plans together but now he is no more. I am sure I would have already got treatment by now if my husband was alive. Some times I recall the kind of life we used to share together yet I can not do any much. "

"As I was paying the remaining amount for the land, I was also running another house construction project in our household. I had to halt it a bit when I saw the need for completing one at a time and now that I have completed the payment of the farm, it is a good time now to resume. I am hopeful that this project will be complete before long and in my projection, December will be the month. Thanks to GiveDirectly for changing our lives."

"My first priority, I will go back to college and study hairdressing. I have been working in Eastleigh washing clothes and I would want to be self- employed by running my own business. The money I receive from washing clothes is not enough for my upkeep. Secondly, I will buy salon equipment after finishing college. I will buy equipment as I will be looking for a place to open my business. Thirdly, I will rent a shop in Mashimoni, Mathare. I am well known in Mashimoni, this will provide a ready market for my business and I expect to get alot of profit in return."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I shall have increased the parcel of land under nappier grass cultivation for my livestock to feed on. This will facilitate a continuous supply of feeds for my livestock even during the dry season. Therefore, I would be certain of getting enough supply of milk for my family's consumption after selling some. I will have also built a stable for my sheep that has a raised floor with some holes where their wastes will be passing through when cleaning. This will facilitate easy collection of these waste to be used as manure."

"In the next six months, I want to ensure I pay school fees for my grandchild so that he may not be sent home for the same. I will pay the balance bit by bit until I clear the balance. I would want to give him what his parents would have given him."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I shall have bought a dairy cow. Meaning, the milk supply will increase and market my business even to other villages where I am also planning to sell in purposely to double my profits. In addition, I will have cemented my kitchen and the sanitation levels in it will have risen."

"In the next six months, I would want to buy building materials such as iron sheets, timber, and nails which I will use in building shed for chicken. It is my determination to start a poultry business and I would want to get prepared well before buying the chicken."
