"Receiving this money means that I will be able to build a better poultry house.I am a poultry farmer and have several chicken now.My spouse and I work and hence when we are not home it is necessary that there is a good fencing as well as house for the chicken so they do not wander into people's farms.I will use this money to buy enough materials to build and with the remainder I will buy more chicken"

"My new goal is to buy a chicken mesh to enable me to improve my poultry farming. This helps with the security of my investment and reduce the loss that the chicken can bring on crops around the homestead."

"Before the transfers began streaming in on a monthly basis, I had not thought of any idea around poultry keeping. I am currently an expert in this sector since I took much interest in it. As a result, I always had money at my disposal since I usually sell the eggs or chicken depending on my monetary needs. I am also happy now that we even consume eggs from this poultry farming and therefore translated to good health both for me and my family."

"I spent my first transfer on households like clothes, bed linen, curtains, utensils and chairs. I also bought a cow, a radio, food and chicken."

"Within the past four months, I have managed to buy chickens as a little investment of part of my transfers. I bought the chickens hoping that by December, they will have increased in number so that I can take advantage of the festive season and sell them at a good price. I have also managed to buy a few roofing sheets within the same period and now have hopes of one day achieving my goal of expanding my current house."

"Receiving this money will enable me to start rearing poultry for sale, since i have always wished to initiate this project for a long time but capital has been a major challenge. I will therefore use part of the money to buy timber, nails, roofing iron sheets and wire mesh which i will use to construct a chicken coop, then buy chicks and their feeds. I will then use the remaining part of my transfer to pay next term's school fees for my children."

"The moment I received the money I felt so happy. It was very early in the morning when I received the message. I didn't know it was from GiveDirectly. When I checked it I was so happy because I have never received such amount of money before in my life. I shared the message with my children and they were so happy too. The first thing that came into my mind was to buy a chicken wire that would enable me to expand my poultry unit."

"My additional goal in life is to start poultry keeping project. Am glad since I have been able to build a chicken coop. My next transfer will be resourceful to me as I will use it to purchase some chicken. I settled on this since it can be operated alongside other projects as it requires minimal attention and input."

"My life is different from how it would have been four months ago in that I have built chicken shed for my poultry project. I used part of my transfer to buy iron sheets, nails, and timber which I used in building chicken shed. I know I will achieve this goal of having poultry project because I have come from far. I did not know I could come this far because I did not have the resources to do all these. With GD transfers, I have come a great way."

"I bought a sheep and a few chicken months ago which am quite pleased about. I have also bought water storage materials to replace those that were stolen from our compound months ago. Considering how much the transfer is, it is usually very tough to save up for such stuff because the basic needs such as foodstuff and health issues are mostly so hard to ignore. I am however happy that I have managed to buy something to show for the money I have been receiving."
