"I used my second transfer to expand my poultry project. In the past I had eight chicken and the income I get from the sale of eggs was little and could not meet all my basic needs. When I received my second transfer, I bought more chicken and I am now happy since I can now get more money from the sale of eggs. I also used the remaining to settle the hospital bill which has accumulated when my husband was admitted at the hospital. I also bought three bags of maize since for the past many months I have been struggling to buy maize flour and at times my family could eat little food when I did not get money to buy food. I also bought new clothes for my children and they are now decent unlike in the past when they used to put on old clothes."

"I used my second transfer to start a poultry keeping project. I had always had this desire of starting a poultry keeping project that could drive me towards being self reliant. Over reliance on my husband often made me feel so much of a burden than a helper to him. I was longing to have this capital that could help me meet most of my daily needs. When I got these transfer, I decided to start this project. I used the money to build a poultry house and bought chicken and these chicken have since started laying eggs. I also bought a dairy cow with the remainder of the transfers. The dairy cow is due to have its first calf and we are looking forward to having enough milk for family consumption and selling of surplus to get an additional income for the family. All these family investments were made possible by the GiveDirectly transfers that I received."

"In the next six months, I would want to buy more chicken to boost my poultry business. I know if all goes well, I will have income which will help me provide for my family well and brighten my future."

"Because I received my second transfers during the harvesting season, I decided to purchase 5 sacks of maize at a cheaper rate so that I could sell them during the dry season when the prices went up. I also used some of it to expand a chicken project I had started using the first transfer by buying more chickens, enlarging the chicken pen and buying chicken. I spent the rest of the money on household items, personal requirements and school supplies for my children."

"In the next four months, I expect to start up a poultry farm in my home. From it, I shall beget eggs and chicken not only for sale to generate additional income but also for my household's consumption. This will make us have a variety of sources of food thus an improvement in our diet. We shall as result be obtaining high nutritional food at a low cost as opposed to buying them from the market."

"I do not have any new goal at the moment since I am planning to expand my poultry project. The transfers I get from GiveDirectly has enabled me to raise enough capital to start poultry keeping project. I planning to keep both chicken and turkey. I chose this idea because they are easy to maintain and the business of selling the poultry itself or its products has high returns because they are on high demand. This two type of birds can also be reared in one place. I believe all will go well since I have all it takes to make sure the business is successful."

"My life is different in that there's joy of hope money will be generated with chicken project I intend to start soon and this will make me financially independent. I spent all my savings before to educate children and had difficulty having money to support life."

"I spent KES 25000 on buying a dairy cow and chicken worth KES 5000. I also bought 2 bags of maize worth KES 5500 and clothed my family with KES 4000. I bought wire mesh worth KES 5000 for building a poultry unit and remaining KES 9000 went towards paying school fees for my son in secondary school."

"I plan to start a poultry keeping project. I will be building a poultry strscture and buy chickens to keep."

"In the next four months, I am planning to plant grain amaranth crop whose seeds I shall convert to be chicken feeds. Grain Amaranth seeds are very useful for domestic fowls thus it will save me from buying feeds. When I get a good yield, I shall organize for a field day and use that avenue to advertise the impact of GiveDirectly's financial support on my community's livelihood."
