"Currently, my life is different from how it was in that, I own goats and chicken which I had planned to have for a long time now. I always wanted to keep them. From the stories which I heard in our village is that they are beneficial and from the sales, many families livelihoods have changed. I know that if I feed them well, they will be able to help me accomplish most of my pending projects but having them in the first place is like a dream come true. The poultry farming which is doing well so far. Its generating more profits than I had expected. These are investments will serve me for the longest time possible and still pass it to my grandchildren. I know that I won't have any problem meeting my needs from now on."

"The biggest difference in my daily life ever since I started receiving transfers from GiveDirectly is that I have been able to run my poultry farm with easy. I have managed to buy vaccines that would protect my birds against diseases. I was able to retain a good number of chicken as compared to the previous stock where most of them were cleared by diseases since I could not afford to immunize them due to lack of enough money. I am glad that I did not incur any loss this time round. I have also been able to easily buy their food. Doing all this was impossible before and that is why I was buying hens from other farmers at a higher price and reselling them but getting low profits. I am financially empowered and I am proud to supply to schools and hotels around our village."

"I have 20 chicken at the moment and I always feel good whenever I feed them. I feel proud because it gives me hope for a bright future. I remember I had none some months earlier before Give Directly came into my life. I was so poor to an extent where I could not even afford to buy one chicken. I believe that within a very short time the chicken will start laying eggs. I am planning to sell a few eggs and leave some for them to hatch. My target is having 100 chicken and through that, I know I will never lack anything. I will now be having a stable source of income."

"The additional goal for my life for the next four months is that I intend to actualize my poultry keeping project using the upcoming transfers. I believe this project will ensure a continuous source of income even after GiveDirectly will have stopped sending us the transfers. I have already started buying some iron sheets for building a chicken coop which is my motivator."

"I have a brood of chicken courtesy of the cash transfers that I have been getting from the organization. A number of the birds are currently laying eggs which means that within a period of let us say three months, I will have a bigger brood as compared to what I have right now. Four months ago, I could not have been able to buy the birds because I had a lot of financial commitments that I had to take care of first."

"Receiving this money will enable me to build a poutry unit to practice poultry keeping, a project that i know will help me get some daily income upon selling eggs and once the chicken multiplies i will sell them and use the money to buy sheep for rearing in my farm. I also plan to buy a dairy cow with the remaining part of the transfer in order to reduce the cost of buying milk daily as well as selling some to also earn some income on a daily basis."

"My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because I am now sitting in a very comfortable seats as compare to before when I was seating on a very hard wooden thing. I also very chicken that when i lack something to eat can sell or eve sell the eggs."

"The biggest difference in my daily life over the last four months is that I have been able to start a poultry keeping project and improved my brick making business. I was able to start a poultry keeping project by starting with building of a poultry house from the monthly transfers that I received and buying chicken later. I now have diverse source of income and looking forward to expanding my income base through other family investments. My brick making business has equally improved since I now have been able to hire a casual to help me in brick making business. I am working towards producing enough bricks that will enable me buy other building materials and build a brick walled house in the near future."

"My new goal for the next four months is to buy a dairy cow. My family will not only get milk for consumption but I will also be selling at our nearby shopping center and use the money I will be getting to cater for my family's needs. Since I do not have a stable source of income, I am planning to improve my poultry keeping project by buying more chicken as my future investment. This will help me to earn more income to use in supporting my family."

"for a long time now, I have been thinking of a way to change my life through investment. I have been having an idea after the other but I never had any capital. When I received GiveDIrectly money, I saw it as an opportunity to take a step and at least establish something which will keep generating income. I ventured majorly into the farming practices and in the last four months, the biggest difference in my daily life is the poultry farming I started at home. With six hens in the first transfer, up to this moment, I have more than 50 chickens in our household. more than 20 are active layers and I have been enjoying their productivity in for the last two months. I have also been selling cockerels which do generate a lot of income."
