"Yes, the new goal that I have at the moment is to boost the goat rearing that I started with the transfers by purchasing more goats. This would be something that I will be relying upon in the future when I face any financial needs. Also, the plan is to sell them when they multiply to purchase a dairy cow that would ensure a steady supply of milk for the family. Similarly, I would sell them to the neighbors to earn an income daily that would support some of the essential needs."

"I spent my recent transfer to purchase two goats for $80 which is a future investment for myself that will help me once they reproduce. I will be able to sell them to support me whenever I face any financial emergency. Previously, I did not have any investment that would assist me whenever encountered a financial crisis. In addition, I used $110 to purchase proper bedding for the family since we were sleeping on mats as bedding on the floor on a high-raised ground in the house as a bed which was not comfortable. This was miserable life since experiencing body pains every morning was the norm of the day. Similarly, I spent $120 to purchase sufficient food since we are experiencing drought and famine making it hard to obtain food for the family. The charcoal-burning activity that I was depending on is no longer sustainable due to the depletion of the forest cover. With the remaining amount of the transfers, I used to lay my grandchild to rest since he died a few days after we received the transfer due to health problems."

"I did not attain an education due to a lack of school fees. I am 32 years old now and since I was 19 years old I have been doing masonry jobs that my father would get for me. I have been getting masonry jobs outside my village and recently I am working in Mombasa. I am paid $10 a day, I send money to my wife who is a stay-at-home wife to take care of my children. I have five children, three are in school and two are still young to enroll in school. I am the only one receiving this transfer in my family and every month I send I also send $18 to my wife to buy food for the family, bought a goat that I will rear, and sell it later at a profit."

"Throughout, I have concentrated on livestock raising. Before my recent transfer, I had ten goats, one sheep, and six cows. However, because I do not have any other options for work, I spent $30 on another goat. This has increased the size of my flock, and I am always happy to look after them. It reminds me of the kindness shown to us by GiveDirectly. I prefer livestock because they are valuable, and I can sell them for a profit. I intend to sell some of them when I need to raise school fees for my three school-age children, Pili, Katana, and Kitsao."

"I spent $320 of my second transfer to open a retail shop. I bought items such as flour, sugar, oils, beans and vegetables. I have been thinking of taking a loan from a financial institution but I didn't have any security to be granted a loan. I am therefore thankful to GiveDirectly for coming along at the time that I needed their help the most. The business is now doing fine with good returns. I can now settle my household bills without struggling like before. Also bought a goat at $40 which shall now serve as an asset that I can rely on just in case of any financial crisis. I am positive that I will have many of them within a short duration because they reproduce twice a year. Also, I paid school fees and my spouse who is in college pursuing a teaching course. He was about to sit for his exam and because of the arrears, he wouldn't be allowed to take the exams. I am so thankful that through GiveDirectly he was finally able to sit for the tests with his peers. With the remaining amount of money, I bought food for my three family members."

"I am living in a one-room house which act as the kitchen as well. The house is not spacious for me and most cases my clothes have smoke smell. I feel shameful whenever I mingle with colleagues and due to the smoke smell. I plan to build a two-room house with a separate kitchen. The house will cost $600 and the kitchen will cost $ 100 respectively. I will also buy 5 goats and 5 sheep as an investment. A goat cost $ 30 and a sheep cost $ 25. The investment will help me in the future in case of an emergency. I really appreciate Give directly program."

"When I received the money for the second time, the first thing I thought of was nice sleeping places. My children and I used to sleep on small traditional beds which were not comfortable. Instead of waking up relaxed and restful, we used to wake up exhausted. Therefore, I opted to buy two modern standard beds and two mattresses for $330. One bed was mine and the other one for my children. As of now, we are very happy because we usually wake up strong, refreshed and ready to pick up the day's activities. I also bought 10 goats as an investment. I chose goats over cows because of the climate condition in our area. Goats can survive in harsh conditions while cows cannot cope. For the remaining amount, I used $50 to pay school fees for my children and used the rest to buy some food for the family."

"We plan on venturing into agricultural business where we'd focus on livestock. We plan on buying 10 goats which would breed and multiply. This would act as a foundation for us and help our sustainability as far as livelihood is concerned. Building a house is the next item on our plans with this transfer, like I already said, this house doesn't bring us the comfort we desire, so these funds would help us to finally live that dream of being in a decent and iron roofed house."

"I plan on buying iron sheets for my house as you can see it's grass thatched. I will do this because I have always wanted to live in an iron roofed house so that the rains don't bother me no more. I also plan on buying 4 goats, 1 male and 3 females. These will help sustain my livelihood in future even beyond the cash transfers as I will be selling them at a profit after they multiply."

"When I receive this money i will finish my house as you can see I don't have have a roof. I will use the other money to buy more goats and also chairs and put in my house. I will add on a few kitchen utensils like plates and pots because I don't have enough."
