"After clearing the loan I have with the farming organization, I would like to save some of these transfers to enable me expand my hotel business. I am currently not able to prepare enough food for my customers because of the little stock I usually buy due. This is because everyday,I take some money out of the profitss I make to to take care of loan payments and other household requirements which cannot allow my business to grow."

"Right now I am thinking of a long term project which will entail selling of second hand shoes which I will be buying in bulk from Nairobi city and re-selling them back in the village where the demand is fairly high. Through this process I am sure that i will be able to make profits and be self-sustainable even when the transfers from GD are stopped."

"In the next six months, I expect my education life to be easy and simple. I shall have built my own house in the next six months which will provide me with ample time for my night studies. I shall no longer wade on mud at night whenever it rains in search of a place to spend my night. This will greatly improve my performance in class as a result, I strongly believe that my ambition to attain university grades will be achievable."

"I want to buy barbed wire that I will use to fence my entire compound so that I do not have to keep the chicks in a closed door environment for the whole day. Apart from that, I want to build a permanent structure for my chicks so that I will not have to use the temporary structure in the future."

"In the next six months, I would want to buy a cow. This will be an investment for my family. From this, I would want to have an inheritance that I would leave to my sons when I die."

"I saved part of my recent transfer in table banking. Since I started receiving my transfers, I have been saving part of it every month because I am planning to open a barber shop. Currently, I am depending on casual jobs to meet my basic needs and pay school fees for my siblings since my parents passed away when we were very young. The money I get from casual jobs is little and cannot meet all the basic needs for my siblings. Starting this business will therefore be a source of income to pay school fees and provide basic needs for my siblings. I also used part of transfer to pay rent since I received the money at a time when I had not paid rent."

"In the next six months, I want to build a new house. The one I have now is not the best I would have wanted to have. It is because of life's problems that is why I have the house. I would want to use the transfers to buy building materials to aid me in building a better and bigger house."

"In the six months, I would want to buy a boat. This will be my source of income for I know how the fishing business, I will never go back to begging and the struggles of borrowing every now and again."

"The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving payments from Give Directly is that I can now meet all my basic needs. In the past, it was a challenge to provide my basic needs but now I no longer struggle since I used part of transfers to get basic needs such as food. I can also help my father to pay his hospital bill monthly check ups. He was involved in a road accident and he has been going for monthly hospital check ups. At times he could miss to go for the check ups when I did not have the money but now I am happy since he no longer miss the medical check ups since I am using part of transfers to pay his hospital bill."

"My new goal that I did not have before receiving the transfer is to enroll for a short course such as mechanics. I will save the income from the business and use it to pay my school fees. After graduating I will acquire new skills and I will be repairing motor vehicles as a part time job. This will be an additional source of income to pay school fees for my siblings."
