"The biggest biggest difference in my daily life is the source of income that I have setup from poultry farming. I have been using the money I received from GiveDirectly on buying chickens that are now laying eggs. They are also hatching more chicks that will strengthen the income source. I don't have to rely on my husband on everything especially the daily needs such as food items. I am happy to be able to rely on myself which is timely unlike when I have to ask and wait for long before he pays for the requested items. I am a happy mother now."

"Poultry farming has been my dream for sometime now.I chose this because I am always at home.With the first transfer I will start by building a poultry unit and then buy indigenous chicken with the remaining money.For the second transfer I will buy a dairy cow.I feel dairy farming is also a good source of income for me."

"I started a small business;I buy chicken around my village and take them to sell in nearby markets.I invested my hard earned savings from casual jobs in the business but unfortunately it didnt yield any profits.In fact,I incurred huge losses.At that time,there was a high supply in the market and I was forced to sell at throw away prices hence I lost most of my capital.This is the biggest hardship I have faced"

"That second transfer was used to buy a cow, chicken, oxen plough tool. I bought household items like clothes, utensils, food; and paid dowry. "

"I spent my first transfer to build a better house for my family. The house we were staying in was too small and this made it a little more uncomfortable for us to live in especially with the growing size of my family. I also used part of the transfer to build a poultry house since I have plans of rearing chicken on a large scale. The remaining amount was used to buy the basic household needs for the family."

"The additional goal I have for my life for the next four months is to boost my poultry farming. I have started buying chicken for rearing because I am planning to start a chicken business. This is because of financial security and also it will act as an additional source of income, I can use the sales from it to pay fees for my children."

"I have a new goal of venturing into poultry farming for the financial security of the family. We can sell the chicken and eggs to raise income the family or we can consume some to nourish us."

"I expect to save and add more poultry to help boost my chicken rearing business which is the main source of income for my family. By the end of the six months, I shall have ventured into tomato farming to help in quick generation of income for the family."

"In the next six months, my life will have changed in that I will have bought a Friesian heifer. I will have also improved my poultry project in terms of buying them some feeds. Since I am rearing kienyeji chicken, I will maintain the free-range system but will only be buying them the necessary feeds. I will also be vaccinating them frequently according to the schedule."

"Receiving this money will help me build a house made of wood.The current house I live in is made of mud and it is cumbersome to mantain.I will then buy a dairy cow which I am sure will serve as a good source of income through sale of milk.With the little remaining money I will buy a few chicken."
