"In the next four months, I have an additional goal to establish a poultry farming unit. For a long time, I had been contemplating how best I can start this project. Having chickens alone wasn't enough and I saw it good to come up with a plan to constructing a spacious coop then later obtaining chickens from one of the suppliers in our locality. This is one of the viable projects which will boost my income since I will always be selling eggs and also chickens whenever there is a pressing need."

"When I started receiving these transfers from GiveDirectly, I was able to save and buy some sheep and chicken from the little savings. When my daughter finished her primary education and was transiting to high school, I did not have any money. I, therefore, sold the livestock, topped up with some savings I had and paid my daughter's fees and all the needed stuff. The biggest difference is the fact my child has settled in school, all fees paid with the help of the transfers I got from GiveDirectly."

"My additional goal in life is to buy a wire mesh to use in building a chicken coop. This is because I want to expand my poultry project and I do not want an instance where my chicken will be destroying crops on my farm."

"In the next four months, we have an additional goal as a household to expand the chicken coop we had earlier on constructed so that we can later add up the birds as a poultry project expansion. All these are towards our long term goal to purchase another cow."

"My next goal is to construct a poultry house so that I would have a confined area to keep my chicken. This would enable me to carry out other farm activities and prevent my chicken from destroying my crops."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the poultry project that I bought. I started the chicken keeping using the money. I then provided them with eggs to hatch. I have about 40 chics and ten hens. They are going to multiply and earn me a daily income. I hope to continue to keep the birds and grow as a poultry farmer."

"My additional goal in the next four months is to continue saving my next transfer so that when I will receive my next collection I would spend to expand my poultry farming. I saw a great opportunity in poultry farming after I started rearing a few chickens which gives me a good profit through the sale of eggs. I am now thinking of expanding this venture buy adding more chicken so that I would rip more profit which would enable me to cater my family needs with less struggle."

"I have did not have a stable source of income before the transfers. I used to rely on income from casual work which was not only inconsistent but also paying very little. I could not meet most of my needs well and in time because of my income. Since I was not well educated to get a good job, I thought of starting up a business but again I did not have the resources to start the business. This is why I used my transfers to start a poultry project. I know when I will have enough eggs and the number of chicken has increased, I will start selling them which will raise me enough money to start another stable business. I am using the poultry project as a stepping stone. Through the project, I am sure I will have the business I have been dreaming of."

"In the next four months, I still plan to invest more in my poultry project. I plan to use my monthly transfers to buy more chicken and other necessities such as chicken feed and vaccines so that the project may be successful. I would not want my dream to collapse before it is even meet its goal."

"I expect my life to have improved because I will have enough fodder for my livestock. nappier grass will be an alternative to the maize stalks that I have been going around my village buying and hauling them to my farm. I think that I will reduce the prevalence of pest and disease to crops, animals, and chickens that would have been brought to my farm with the stalks from other farms. I will also have to reduce the cost of production hence I will have more income. I will not have to be buying feeds for my cow anymore."
