"Receiving this money means financial independence to me. I intend to initiate a Poultry keeping project that will enable me to support my spouse in sustainably supporting our family needs. I will therefore have to build a modern poultry unit at a cost of approximately $100, then buy 60 chicks costing $100. I will also spend $300 to buy barbed wire, wire mesh and timber for fencing my compound in order to restrict the chicken from damaging crops in my neighbor's farms. I will also buy a $300 dairy cow whose constant production of milk for sale will supplement my income from selling poultry products."

"I have had this desire of venturing into poultry keeping for a while now. For a woman like me, I consider this business easy because it is not energy-draining and at the same time requires less maintenance cost. For a start, I plan to have 20 chicken each costing 400 shillings, which equals 8000 shillings. I also plan to have a spacious structure for the same purpose for 15400 shillings. I will spend another 10000 shillings on feeds. This project will solve my day to day expenses as I will collect at least 15 eggs daily. I will sell the same at a nearby market for 15 shillings each. This will translate to 225 shillings each day. Receiving this money will mean so much to me as it will be my pathway to financial independence."

"I have had the desire to venture into poultry keeping for the longest time now. I love it because it is easier to keep and it does not require a lot of space. Chicken also has a ready market in case you want to sell some. At the same time it is a good source of protein for me and my family. For a start, I need 60000 shillings to go into both buying chicken and putting up a structure for the same. From this business, I see myself collecting 30 eggs per day which translates to 900 in a month. In our local market, an egg is sold at 12 shillings. This will give me a profit of at least 10000 shillings every single month."

"I practice dairy farming and I currently own 3 Ayrshire dairy cattle that generates me an income of $3 daily from selling 10 litres of milk. This has empowered me financially and has enabled me to support my spouse in educating our four children, two in secondary school, and two in primary school. I therefore intend to use $700 of my funds to add two more dairy cattle costing $350 each. I will then spend the remaining $30 to initiate poultry keeping, a project that I have always wished to engage in since the income from selling the poultry products such as eggs, and mature chicken will supplement my income from dairy farming."

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to buy two exotic dairy cattle and start poultry farming project. I intend to use 700USD to buy the two dairy cattle to supplement my family with milk for both domestic and commercial use(through the sale of surplus milk). I already have a poultry unit and so I will use the remaining balance from the transfer to buy chicken and their feeds."

"Receiving this money means that my family shall have more income and hence lead a better life. This is because I will use the money to lease some pieces of land for crop farming. Besides, I will spend some of the money on expanding my business of buying and selling chicken."

"Receiving this money would mean a lot to me because it would change the face of my family. I live in a tiny house where we cook and sleep. I also keep chicken which spends the night in the very same house. The smoke that emanates from the firewood that we cook with gives us so much irritation. This makes my child cough repeatedly thus affecting her sleep. Talk of the droppings from the chicken that always leave the whole house smelly and the cock that crows in the wee hours of the morning. This has brought me so much shame from my friends who come to visit me. If I get lucky to be enrolled, I plan to construct a better house that will change the face of my young family. I will use at least 30000 shillings for the same."

"I have a family of five with no dairy cattle to supplement dairy products to them. Therefore, receiving this money means that I will be able to buy one dairy cattle that goes for 300USD to provide milk to my family and as a result put to an end regular purchase of milk. I will also use 100USD to build a house for my two grown up male boys to sleep and study. In this case, they will have their privacy and ours preserved. For the remainder of the transfer, I intend to use it to start poultry farming as an employment opportunity. I will built a poultry unit, buy fifty chicken and their feeds. This will not only render me as self employed but also provide me with a regular flow of income through the sale of poultry products."

"Poultry keeping is what I depend on to earn a living. I usually sell eggs and chicks whenever the hens hatch and this activity has really empowered me economically. I therefore plan to use $50 to build a modern and more spacious chicken coop, then use $50 to add more chicken to my poultry. I also intend to spend $35 to buy household furniture, $10 to replace my old tattered beddings and then use the remaining part of my transfer to stock food stuffs such as corn, rice and beans in my granary."

"Receiving this money would mean so much to me and my family too. We live in an area that is frequently hit by drought, and so we cannot solely depend on the crops that we plant. I plan to start poultry keeping if I get lucky to be enrolled in GiveDirectly program as this will be a good additional source of income. For a start I want to have 50 chicken each costing 500 shillings. From this I will get 50 eggs per day which I will sell in a nearby market at a cost of 10 shillings each. This will translate to 500 shillings daily. This will fully cater for my family's daily needs and my children going to bed hungry will be a thing of the past."
