"I spent part of my second transfer on paying school fees for my two sons who are in college and one in secondary school. I also bought some chicken as my living asset worthy of 2000. In addition to that, I bought some building materials such as iron sheets which cost Kes 16000. This was for the purpose of renovation of my house which had some grass-thatched roofing. It was always leaking whenever it could rain and we could always seek shelter from neighbors which were stressful. To add on that I then paid the laborer KES 8000 as his labor charge. The remaining amount of money bought enough foodstuffs for my family."

"The biggest difference in my daily life at the moment is that I have a good poultry house which I am now using to house some few chicken which I had. To me this is a great step which I had been looking forward to. Apart from that, I bought a heifer which I will use to pay dowry once I get married in the near future. Initially, I was worried how I would get married and having nothing within my disposal to appreciate my in-laws."

"I spent part of my second transfer on investing in a coffee plantation. After three years' time, I expect to sell the products hence getting profit from it. Besides, I also constructed a large house that I divided into three segments which included: a kitchen, cowshed, and chicken coop thus having all those under the same roof. This has gone a long way in protecting my livestock from perennial thieves."

"I spent a small portion of the transfer to build a poultry house for rearing chicken and I am planning to buy cows with the rest of the transfers once the livestock market is opened."

"Receiving the second transfer from GiveDirectly was a great blessing to my family, It really brought us a lot of changes which we are still enjoying to date. It was then when my wife was admitted to the hospital and I had to use part of the money on settling the hospital bill. With the remaining amount, I constructed a chicken coop as I was starting a poultry project and used the last bit of it on completion of the payment of a piece of land we were buying."

"I spent the money I received on the first transfer on buying a motorcycle. My husband is a veterinary practitioner. He covers long distances everyday to visit farms. He used to take a motorcycle taxi which is very expensive given that he travels everyday. We are so glad to have bought him his own. I then bought a heifer and chickens to keep. I also bought some furniture for the house."

"I spent a huge amount of the second transfer to buy two dairy cows for rearing. I have been rearing my family's livestock and depended on them for a while now. I am glad that part of what I rear is indeed mine. I also bought some chicken since I had already built a poultry house using the first transfer."

"To expanding my poultry farming by buying more chicken and a wire mesh to improve the poultry house. I will enclose the poultry house fencing it away from the rest of the farm. This will reduce the damage caused by chicken on crops."

"I have been able to start a poultry keeping project over the last four months. It is through these transfers that I was able to start a poultry keeping project where I bought chicken with part of the transfers received each month. I am looking forward to even improving this in the long run since it is of great help to me and my family in terms of meeting the cost of the basic household needs."

"My life is different than how it was before because I have been able to expand my dairy farming project. Due to this, I have been able to provide for my family on time unlike before. Also, I have started saving some money that I am intending to use in starting my poultry project. I already have a decent chicken coop and I am intending to raise it after this rainy season."
