"I built a chicken coop using part of my second transfer as a way of starting a poultry keeping project. I will be selling eggs at our neighboring market and we will also be using some of it at times as a substitute for vegetables. Also, I bought some timber and iron sheets to use in building a kitchen for my family. I used the remaining amount to pay for my medical bill and to buy food and clothes for my family."

"Yes, my new goal is to generally improve my farming. I want to buy more chicken for rearing and also use my farm more by planting crops such as beans."

"The transfer has enabled me to clear school fees for my children. I am glad that they are comfortable taking their studies like the rest of the children. Seeing them learning without any difficulties gives me peace and even an opportunity to prepare for the next payment. I am now in the process of starting a poultry project as an investment in my homestead. I am pretty sure that through this project, I will be able to supply chicken and earn more income. At least I will be self-employed and having a good source of income."

"I had been lucky to have to build a new decent house for my family, a dream that I had for long. When I received my second transfer, I used KES28000 to complete the few incomplete areas I had left. I used it on the ceiling, tables and chairs. I feel so good to have a decent house fully furnished courtesy of GiveDirecly. In addition, I took KES10000 to spent our clothing. We are happy as a family to have smart new clothes to add to the few old we had. I spent some amount on farming to fence my farm, build a chicken coop and to buy some chickens. I am happy to have invested this amount on farming expecting better returns from."

"KES53150 to build a new house, i had one house, old KES53150, to build a house. KES4000 chickens, KES5000 on my household food, KES3700 on farming, I spent my entire second transfer to build anew house. I bought building materials that include; pieces of iron sheets, building poles and timber to enable me to construct a new house and to cater for the labor involved in building a new house. It had always been my desire day and night to one day own a decent home but hopes were shattered since I did not have adequate resources to build the house. My greatest happiness is that I now have a new home for my family."

"I have been planning to start a poultry farming project which will be my side hustle and an alternative source of income to the casual jobs that I depend on. I have so far managed to purchase the required materials for the construction of a chicken pen but still needs to raise the money to pay the construction workers that will construct the pen. I have started by saving this month's transfers and will do so for the next few months until I have enough."

"I am a fulltime housewife. I take care of our children and spend most of my time during the day looking after the livestock, especially my chicken. I enjoy tending my chicken because they provide a few eggs at the end of the day and I don't need to over bother my husband on personal needs."

"In the next four months, I have an additional goal to expand the already set up poultry farming. With this, I will be kick-starting it with the construction of a new chicken coop then later usher in some new birds since I am intending to increae the numbers and may be change the breed. I have been saving towards the project and soon I will be able to invest in it."

"For the past one year I have been living under a very poor structure after my house collapsed. Since I am not financially stable, I built a house that resembles a chicken pen to shelter my family. The condition of this place is not fit for human life and it is a threat to our security. The house is surrounded by bushes that harbour very dangerous snakes. As if this is not enough the walls are almost falling and it has no door to protect our household items. Therefore, receiving this transfer means constructing a better house to provide my family a decent shelter."

"I spent my first transfer to buy some material such as one metallic door, two windows, two bags of cement, and paying up labor that helped me to fit them. I then bought some live stock such as a cow, and chicken at Ugx 870000."
