"My additional goal for the next four months is to build a spacious kitchen for my family. The one we currently have is small hence the need to build a spacious one. This will also allow my children to sleep comfortably as they will be having enough space. The house we are currently using as our kitchen will be used as our chicken coop since we do not have any as at now."

"In the next six months, I expect to diversify my farming and start poultry farming so that I can earn money through the sale of eggs. chicken needs a smaller space for rearing and little capital to start. Having this would enable me to earn more money to cater to my family needs and pay school fees for my children."

"In the next four months, I have a new goal to start poultry farming. This is a project I have been contemplating on starting for such a long time although I had never gotten enough capital to invest in it. I have been saving for some time now and currently, I have a good sum of money enough to start constructiong a chicken coop and purchasing some birds. The project is now set to be initiated in two weeks time."

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to offset this year's school fees arrears for my children.One of them joined college recently and another is in secondary school.We were able to pay a part of the fees from our farm proceeds but are yet to clear.Having done that,I will also expand on my poultry farm by first building a better unit and then buying more chicken as a means of investing my transfers"

"I used part of my transfer to buy a chaff cutter machine and a generator to help in improving my dairy farming activities. I used the remaining amount to buy food for my children and chicken feeds to help in my poultry keeping project."

"I sold my two dairy cattle two weeks ago in order to pay school fees for my children; one in secondary school and another one in the university. Replacing my cattle by buying others is therefore what receiving this money means to me. I will then use the remaining part of my transfer to add more chicken to my poultry since selling poultry products has been a great source of income to me. This will ensure i add more savings in our local savings group hence i will be able to pay school fees for my children with less struggle in future."

"The biggest difference in my daily life in the past four months is the poultry project which I started in our household. This is a promising project which we have seen many starting and running it successfully. Currently, we have 35 improved indigenous chickens after losing around 20 chicks when they were young. Wed decided to adopt deep litter system which is seemingly easy to run and also manageable in small scale. This project to us is bringing a grad deal of a difference to our household since we are set to collect a projected good number of eggs per day which we'll later sell to earn us some income."

"After the completion of the construction of the new house, I have an additional goal to buy start livestock farming. I have a plan to buy a goat and some chickens so that I can start rearing. This goal is coming in since I am planning to purchase a cow in the future. It will act as a saving plan since I would breed the goats and on regeneration I could sell and add up to my savings to purchase a cow."

"I was once a dairy farmer but due to financial challenges I had to sell all the cattle I had.The transfers from GiveDirectly will help me start with buying one dairy cow.The milk I get from the cow will help me a great deal in boosting my income.My second plan is starting poultry farming.I will start by building a good poultry unit and then buy a few chicken.Finally,I will build another kitchen;an iron roofed one this time round.The current one is grass thatched which leaks during rainy season."

"Looking back to where I have come from, It has really been a great journey. With the last four months, I have recorded a number of changes which has brought a lot of differences in my life. The chickens I am rearing used to live in the kitchen but at the moment I have completed the construction of a decent chicken coop for them. I never had a cow also which I am now milking. All these have happened within a span of four months."
