"The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I feel happier, healthier and stronger. This is because I have reaped heavily from the maize and beans that I planted using the initial transfers from GiveDirectly. We had a huge harvest since I afforded to buy quality seeds and phosphate unlike before. Besides, I bought some chicken for keeping. Consequently, we eat well - we enjoy a balanced diet and sufficient food. We get eggs to eat and sell the surplus to fetch some income for use in acquiring other food items that we need. In addition, I am able to hire some individuals to handles most of the tedious physical activities like weeding."

"The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have started poultry keeping project and I now have forty chicken. With this, I have been able to help my spouse in paying school fees for my children and I no longer ask him to give me money to use in buying our needs. I decided on poultry keeping because its mentainance cost is affordable."

"I Plan to start a poultry keeping project. I will buy wire mesh for fencing the compound to protect my chicken."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is getting constant income from the chicken I bought. I buy some chicken with every transfer. I now have about 15 adult chicken that lay eggs, and in addition to this, many chicks. The size of my poultry keeping is growing and so does my income."

"In the next four months, I am planning to engage in large scale poultry farming. At the moment I have only 10 chickens and they are free range. My plan is to build a bigger poultry unit and buy more chicken. I am going to do it bit by bit using the monthly transfers. In the 4th month,hopefully I will have gotten earnings out of the sale of eggs."

"The new or additional goals for my life for the next four months is to buy a cow. I will rely on the savings through table banking, financial support from my husband, and the sale of most of my chicken to buy the cow. A cow will mean a lot to us as a family because we shall get milk for sale and consumption. Besides, a cow will serve as an invaluable prestige that could be utilized as collateral while seeking financial aids in the future."

"Currently, I have improved health since I always eat good food from poultry farming i.e eggs and chicken. I am now dependent on myself as I earn some money from the sale of eggs and chicken. I have also engaged in vegetable farming which provides me with additional income and enough to eat."

"My new goals for my life for the next four months is to build a good and a better poultry house so that I will be able to expand the project so easily without any challenge. I am also planning to buy more chicken to increase the number of eggs that I collect hence increase the source of income."

"I am planning to start a poultry project at home. The government recently built a technical institute less than a kilometre from our village and there hasn't been enough supply of food and other stuff with the influx of students and the institution's employees. I want to tap that market by ensuring I supply eggs and even chicken meat to the institution."

"It has always been my dream to start poultry farming after the one I had started collapsed six months ago because I had to sell everything in order to use the money to pay for my son's hospital bill. When I received my recent transfer, I spent the whole amount in buying some chicken and their feeds so that I could start up this project. I decided on this project since it can be done alongside other jobs as it does not require full-time attention. Because of this, my mother now oversees this project as she goes on with her restaurant business."
