"I spent part of my first transfer on buying some goats and chicken worthy KES 10000. I also bought some beddings such as a bed and mattress because previously I used to sleep on some old mats. I then paid some tuition fees for my children and bought some stationary, uniforms as well, I then some building materials such as building poles, iron sheets, time and nails for the renovation od my house since its almost collapsing due to some weak walls. The remaining amount of money, I am using it in buying some foodstuffs ad some expenses."

"My additional goal in life is to build a chicken coop and buy some more chicken. I will be using my transfers to achieve this since I have already started buying some iron sheets to use in building the chicken coop."

"My life is currently different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I have been able to build a house for my son. Due to this, he now sleeps at home unlike before and I no longer worry about his security at night. Also, I am now a proud owner of a dairy cow and some chicken. I will be using the income from these projects to cater for our daily needs. This will be my major source of income since I cannot engage myself in tedious work as I am disabled and I cannot even do some tasks like farming."

"I plan to build a new poultry house that is up to the required standards for keeping chicken. I will use the money that I will be receiving in the next four months to buy roofing materials s and to pay for construction labor as I already have wood that I need."

"I don't have any additional goal but just to expand my poultry-keeping by buying more chickens and paying school fees for my children. I will use part of the money to pay school fees and a part of it to buy chickens to rear."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the expansion of my poultry-keeping business. I have bought more chickens that have resulted in a higher income from sale of eggs. I am happy to have a stable income that helps me to easily meet my household's daily needs."

"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."
