"By the 6th month, I will have maize business, the money I get out of it will enable me to buy a small piece of land to expand my onion planting business and from there paying my children's school fees would be much easier since more land means more onion and more money from the sale of onions."

"in the next six months hopefully, I would have already build a new house and the transfers really contributed a lot on this. I then plan on the sixth month to get married and start my own family something that I have really dreamt of. From there I focus on building a family."

"I have always wanted to be a large scale poultry farmer.Poultry farming does very well in this place due to favourable weather conditions.I have not been able to achieve this because of funds.I do not have a stable source of income because am a casual labourer.What I get is barely enough to provide basic needs for my family.Receiving this money means that I will not only be able to achieve my dream of starting a poultry farm but will also enable me to buy a dairy cow with part of the transfer"

"In the next six months, I plan to pay school fees for my daughter without fail. I want her to settle well in school like other children. I will also have cemented my house so as to look decent. Currently, it is made of mud and so I have to smear it which is normally hectic."

"I expect my life to change a lot in the next six months because we shall have more land for farming and subsequently expect more income from the sale of farm products including milk and crops. After securing the additional acreage, we shall plant more crops and ensure our cows are well fed to provide more milk. Besides, I will be spending more time on my farm, and significantly reduce the amount of time and energy that I could otherwise be spending on my neighbors' farm. There be a switch on the main source of income from the casual work that I normally do at my neighbors' farm to being self-employed and working on my farm. Thanks a lot GD for giving us a helping hand at the best time in our life."

"In the next six months, I would want to improve my poultry business by adding more chicken. This is because I will be able to enhance the profits to help me meet my family demands."

"My whole life will have changed in the next six months because I will be farming in better ways. I currently have onion seedlings that will be a huge onions investment on my farm. I obtained these seedlings using the money I receive from GiveDirectly. Another change in the next six months will be the furniture in my house. I will have enough furniture to keep my home a comfortable place."

"In my village we have a problem of getting clean water for domestic use.We depend on the nearby river which takes me upto two hours to get water.The water is again not fit for consumption since it is contaminated by livestock and people.This poses a danger to our health.When I get this transfers I am planning to buy a water tank and then fix gutters on my roof to collect rain water.I will also connect water which is supplied by the county government at a cost of 5,000 Kenya shillings.This piped water is supplied twice a week hence the necessity of having a water tank."

"In the next six months, I want to buy a goat. This will help me to raise money for other emergencies by selling it and when it reproduces, I will have a good number. They will be my investment."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is lack of permanent job that can support me to have savings in my bank account. Since I left my job as a conductor, I rarely get enough money to save and this has made me inactive. I spend everything i get on school fees and other family needs."
