"Apart from livestock farming, I have a new goal to start poultry farming as I am projecting a possibility of earning an income from the selling of eggs. I have been doing benchmarks with the neighboring household which has around 50 chickens which at least half of them lay eggs daily. Converted to money after selling means the household earns at least 300 KES daily from the project. It is my wish to starting this month by first constructing a chicken coop which will be the start of the project so that I will be buying at least five birds every month."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have been able to provide part of my family's basic needs without entirely depending on my husband for money since he has always been the breadwinner in our family. I am a farmer by occupation and with climate change, it has been very challenging to get a promising income from it. Fortunately, with GiveDirectly's transfer, I have managed to boost my poultry rearing project by investing in egg-laying chicken. This has lead to an increase in the sale of eggs and my income generally."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the compound that I have since erected. Conflict with other villagers is now reduced and my chicken are safe and more productive after the confounding. This has led to increased income from my farm and improved our living standards."

"I expect that my life will be improved in the next six months. I will be owning a cow and rearing chickens. From the two ventures, I will be able to get money to feed the family. I will be harvesting maize that I have to grow. I have a lot of hope to better my living conditions and live more comfortably in the next six months."

"I expect my life to have improved in the next six months. I intend to use the money from the farm and part of the transfers to start a business. I will be trading in chickens and create another source of income. I am confident that I will succeed in this business because I had done it before. I left the business many years ago because I ran out of cash to sustain it. With these transfers, I will revive it."

"I used most of my transfer to build a new house. The house that we were staying was so small, old and was grass thatched too. I had the desire of building a bigger and better house but the little income that I got from my casual works was hardly enough to meet the basic household needs let a lone build a new house. On receiving this money, I made it a priority to build this house and make my family more comfortable. I also used part of the money to start a poultry keeping project that would help us sustain the level of income of our family and have better living standards. I have since bought 10 chicken and built a poultry house."

"I spent the larger part of my second transfer on purchase some of the building materials such as timber and paid workers who assisted me in the construction of my new house . I bought three decent chairs to replace the old weak chairs that I had since they were risky to seat on as the likelihood of breaking while seating on them was very high . I also bought a wheelbarrow and wire mesh which would be used for constructing a chicken cope."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now rear chicken that I bought using the transfers. I consider myself a farmer, even though small but that is a step. I am also glad that I was able to buy myself some new clothes. I previously used to fully depend on my parents for most of these needs and I am glad I got an opportunity to offer something courtesy of GiveDirectly. I am now more hopeful that indeed I can do so much more because I am empowered."

"I spent of the transfer to buy building materials as i am planning to build a spacious ironroofed house in my own compound. I thought of putting up my house in my own compound because I want my freedom and a place where I am a ble to do my developments without any restrictions or conditions. I also want to live in peace because there were a lot of conflicts between me and my step mother and this is affecting my life. Once I will manage build a house in my own compound I will be free to do any thing that I feel like without any conditions. I will also started so many developments in the compound like poultry keeping where I will be selling chicken and getting money for my up keep."

"I spent 28,000 KES of my second transfer to buy a dairy cow . At the moment I get three litters of milk which my family consumes and two litters I do sell and the profits caters for my family's needs . I bought 50 chicken to start a commercial poultry rearing project . I bought two sack of maize for my family's consumption . The remaining amount I have saved on my Mpesa account ."
