"I spent my second transfer to purchase nine chicken and three goats. They will be helpful in catering for any emergencies when they shall have reproduced and increased in numbers in future. I paid school fees for my three children who are in primary school and I am glad that I have settled all the arrears. I bought their school supplies and books . I haven't used the remaining amount yet."

"I spent my second transfer to buy a pair of oxen and nine chicken. At the moment, I am training them for cultivation hence I am certain of an extra income through hiring them for cultivating my neighbor's farms when they would have been skilled enough . I built a kitchen . I bought a bed and a mattress for my children with the remaining amount."

"I spent the money I recently received on building a house in my homestead. I bought building stones, cement, sand, and gravel at a cost of Ksh 34000. I then paid for construction labor. I am building for my children to live in. I had a small hut that was not ideal to house my college teenagers and the young ones. I then bought some chicken to expand my poultry project. I even bought a wire mesh to improve the poultry."

"I spent the money I received from GiveDirectly to buy food for my family's consumption . I purchased 20 chicken purposely to keep and later sell then use the money to cater for emergencies that might occur. I also bought building materials such as sand , doors and bags of cement. I haven't built the house yet because the money was not enough and all hope isn't lost since I intend to finish the construction of my semi-permanent house which I have always desired after collecting my saving in a few month with the money from GiveDirectly that has remained."

"My life is different from how it would have been had I not received the transfer. First, my wife no longer have conflicts with our neighbors about my chicken destroying their crops. Also, I believe that I will be able to cater for my children's education with less struggle when they join high school. This is because I will be using the income from dairy project to pay their fees."

"Six of my children are in various levels of education; one in college, two in secondary school and three in a boarding primary school. This is going to cost a total of $350 of the first transfer. I will invest the remaining $200 towards poultry farming; I am planning to buy 30 chicken layers, improve the poultry house and buy a perimeter chain-link to fence my farm as part of the project."

"I spent the transfers on renting a land where we have been planting maize. The reason for doing so is because we own a small piece of land which was not enough for us as family. We also spent the rest of the amount in buying clothes, chicken and also other household goods."

"My life is currently different that it would have been in that we currently have continuous source of income from the motor bike business that was started out of this transfers. In essence the money gave us a motor bike and also employed one of my family members where we get daily income from. When the cow calves, I will also have a source of income from the sale of milk from it. The milk is also food to my children hence I would not spend most of the money in procurement of milk for family. Nowadays, I am keeping chicken which provides me with continuous supply of its products where I get income everytime, I sale them. "

"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I have been able to fence my compound. Fencing it has enabled me to concentrate on my poultry project. Due to this, my chicken no longer destroy my vegetables and that of my neighbors thus my relationship with them has improved."

"Had it not for the transfers from GiveDirectly, I wouldn't have bought chicken which are currently my main source of income. On weekly basis, I collect an amount of not less than Kes 800 through sale of eggs alone. I also recall that the money enabled me to pay school fees for my children who are in secondary school. This ensure that they are well kept in school, studying and concentrating in the exams. Had it not for the money, I would still be faced with shortage /lack of food for the family. "
