"My life is currently different because I meet my daily needs as well as those of my family. We all use the money I get from the eggs to buy household items. This possible because the project has now expanded sufficiently. The joy I get from the proper poultry house I have built is immense. My investment in layers is secure because the chicken is not exposed to catch diseases since they are not let to roam in the village. Keeping them enclosed using the wire mesh structure that I installed has also increased production. I find it easy to control the birds and the higher production is a really good thing for me financially."

"For a long time now I have been contemplating a way to source enough money so that I can buy a sheep which I later made to buy after accumulating the savings from GiveDirectly transfers. Now that I have achieved with ease, I have a new goal to start poultry farming. I intend to start by the construction of the chicken coop using this month's transfers and then will later purchase hens after completion. I am determined to complete this project so that it can start running in the next four months."

"My life is different from how it was before Give Directly came to this village in that I was able to fence my farm. I used to have problems with my neighbors because they keep chicken that would come and destroy my crops. Since I did not have the resources to fence my farm I couldn't do much. Sometimes one may want to run an errand only to come back and get their crops destroyed by the livestock. I used to feel bad but am happy that will no longer happen. I thank Give Directly for enabling me to accomplish this goal."

"I am growing old and I cannot participate in casual jobs like before hence meeting my daily expenses are becoming hard for me that I only depend on farming which takes longer to mature. I have a new goal in my life of improving my poultry farming by adding more chickens and build them a good house since this is affordable for me to improve and maintained. I love poultry farming since I can easily manage at my age and will be a source of daily income and household food which is a major task for me currently."

"I have always been fully engaged in keeping chicken as a full-time job and I can say that I have become financially independent. I normally sell out these birds and earn some cash in return which I then use to sort out financial needs in the house as well as paying school fees for the kids."

"My new goal in the next few months is to finish building the poultry house. With the monthly transfers and the money I will soon get from the milk produced by my dairy cow, I know I will manage to set up a bigger poultry project. I will be able to build a big poultry house and buy several chicken to start with. With the poultry business and the dairy farm, I will be able to provide for my family. I am glad that apart from the transfers that we get, this organization opened our eyes and empowered us in a big way."

"I am currently planning to start a poultry project with some savings that I have. The income I will generate from the sale of eggs and chicken will not only boost my total income but also substitute the amount I always get from the monthly transfers now that I still have a few months to go."

"My expectation in the near future is to ensure that my son's school fees is paid on time and hope he succeeds. Once this is done, I will buy some sheep and chicken for rearing. This will be a source of income once they mature. This will help improve our financial staus and generally improve our lifestyle as a family."

"I expect my life to change in that I shall have improved my poultry keeping project. I currently have 15 egg laying chicken and I intend to reach 50 chicken over the next six months. I will use the proceeds from my farming and the monthly GiveDirectly transfers to be able to actualize this. I also intend to build a bigger poultry unit that is going to accommodate the rising number of chicken."

"My plan is to spend this money for buying animals (cows) and starting up a business . I lost my parents at the tender age and life has been a journey. I have tried working hard to get money for buying cows but all in vain. This has made me stay a single life since in African tradition owning a wife is by giving an appreciation to in-laws. Which is ordinarily cows as dowery. My life will be complete once I marry. Also I will start up a business of selling chicken. This will be an income generatiing activity for my family."
