"Receiving this money means I will buy a water pump for irrigation"

"Receiving this cash transfer means that I'll be able to buy a dairy cattle and a water tank- to store water since it is a very rare commodity in this area. This will enable me practice irrigation farming. Thank you so much GD. "

"I spent part of the second transfer that GiveDirectly sent me on agriculture. I planted tomatoes for sale. I bought seeds and paid labor & water for irrigation. The crops have now sprouted and I am hopeful for a good harvest in three months and an income thereafter. I have saved some cash too, so as to buy furniture and windows for the house we built prior to GD, but had not finished it due to lack of funds."

"In the next six months,I expect my harvest to be more. I shall have bought a water pump for irrigation and this means that my savings shall have increased."

"I expect to be a better farmer than I am now because the pump will help me with irrigation which will ensure that I get better output.My family will also be living in a better house."

"Receiving this money will mean a lot to me. Since my husband died in the year 2003, life has been difficult to me in terms of needs provision to my family. Receiving this money will enable me to buy water pump to do irrigation on my farm, i will also do other business to boost my income."

"My new goal is to buy a water irrigation machine. This will help in irrigating my farm and I do have to worry of the outcome even during drought.This means more profits regardless of the seasons."

"I spent my transfer on buying water pipes which I will use in irrigation purposes for my vegetables which I have planted and the rest I used in buying a cow which I know will later provide milk and even sell to get money."

"I bought generator and water pipes worth 40000 KES for irrigation because we do mainly tomatoes and vegetable farming. I also bought clothes for my children and I because we did not have presentable clothes."

"I expect my life to change in that I plan to save towards a portable Irrigation Pump for small scale Agribusiness."
