"Receiving this money means that i will be able to improve poultry farming by adding more chicken, building a more advanced poultry unit as well as fencing all around my compound with wire mesh in order to restrict the poultry from going to my neighbours' farms to destroy crops hence no more conflict with my neighbours. My second transfer will enable me to add one dairy cow for milking in order to boost the daily income i normally earn from selling 4litres of milk daily produced by my cow at ksh27 per day "

"It's one year now since I started a family and settling has taken a lot of time.Now that I am settled I need to expand my farming activities.Livestock farming seems a good venture for me.The money that I will receive will make me start off by buying one dairy cow which will cost me approximately Ksh 35,000.The milk will not only save me the cost of buying milk for consumption but also earn me some money through sale of the milk.I will also expand my poultry unit.I have only six chicken and my target is adding that number to 40.This means that I also have to do construction of the structures required."

"I expect that in the next six months I shall have invested more time and resources to invest more time and resources in raising livestock and chicken in small scall. In envision making more income through selling their by-products such as milk and eggs. With, the doubled income I shall have ease in meeting most of my family's needs. At the same time, enrolled in two more saving table banking groups because I have learnt the importance of saving."

"I believe that life has changed because I have been buying a number of chicken birds which I have been rearing over the past years. This project has really changed my life because right now I can easily decide to sell out any of the birds just in the event that I run out of finances."

"I wouldn't say that there is much difference in my daily life currently. I invested the transfers in poultry rearing, started off well and the numbers increased to 20 chicken. Unfortunately, they all succumbed to poultry disease outbreak leaving me with none. I haven't lost hope yet. I'm still planning to use the coming transfers to start rearing poultry again."

"My life has greatly improved since I do not have to depend on my husband too much. The household needs that are very pressing can be addressed using the money I get for the poultry project. My husband is so relied and happy that he has even offered to help me with the cost of feeding the chickens. I also have managed to start a saving habit. I save in a merry go round group and will one day be able to purchase a dairy cow. |thse tow steps in my life have changed it for the better."

"Now my life has really changed, I got some vegetables and maize on my farm which I could afford to plant with the money I received from GiveDirectly. Now, I do not strain much on a daily basis to meet my family basic needs as I got some chicken which when I collect eggs and sell it I earn money which is enough to cater to my daily household expenditure."

"I am planning to start poultry farming. I feel its a business that most people have not ventured into therefore possibility of it flourishing is very high. Therefore for the next four months, I will be saving the monthly transfers that I normally receive from Give Directly with the intention of buying building materials for constructing a poultry house. Through the sale of eggs and chicken, I know I will be able to meet most of my set goals."

"When I received transfers from Give Directly, I managed to buy a few chickens. These chicken have since multiplied and increased in number. They usually come in handy, especially when taking care of small household expenditure which I couldn't afford previously when I only depended on casual jobs."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to buy a cow as well as keep some chicken.Having young children requires that one has a source of milk to substitute their diet.I have not been able to buy one because of lack of money and these transfers have provided me that opportunity to actualize it.I will also build a poultry house and then buy some chicken and through sale of eggs be able to provide the daily needs of my family"
