"My life currently is different since I have been able to buy some chicken and a wire which I want to use in fencing my farm."

"I spent my first transfer on buying a cow,barbed wire for fencing,maize,chicken and clothes since those were the needs at that time."

"I am happier than before. This is the biggest difference in my life. I am happy to see the cow and chicken in my compound that are our sources of income that we did not have. Things had been tough for us because each day we just worked for at least a meal and I would have not bought such things as I bought using GD funds. Even buying the maize gave us peace and we have enough food for up to two months. Thank you for the transfer."

"I have not yet spent my transfer but i plan to start a business dealing in produce eg maize, coffee, beans with a capital of 500,000 and i also want to buy a cow of 400,000. I also wish to put a stall at my home worthy 100,000 for daily come and also rear some local chicken."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have seen a positive change, I have fenced my home hence it has enhanced more security more so on my poultry farming.No one will steal my chicken anymore."

"The first transfer which GiveDirect sent to me, I spent part Kes 9000 to pay school fees for my son in secondary school. I also spent KES 6000 to pay for a school project for my daughter. I later spent KES 15000 to buy 20 chicken for rearing. The rest I spent on buying food and clothes. I have saved KES 20000 for future use."

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to start local paultry farming in large scale and fence my compound using wiremesh so that I can have my chicken move freely in my compound. I will spend part of the remaining amount on building a toilet as currently I do not have one. "

"I plan to expand my poultry in the next four months by buying more chicken. I bought 30 chicken using the first transfer that GiveDirectly sent us. They give us eggs for sale, so I plan to have more and get more income as a result."

"My life is currently different. I used to be in debt and lack but now I have cleared the loan using GiveDirectly funds. I had taken the loan to start a shop and poultry business ( the chicken died of disease unfortunately) . So I cleared he loan and I am now at peace. My shop is also doing better than before because I restocked it using the transfer that I received from GiveDirectly."

"I used the transfer that I received to buy a cow an d chicken and paid school fees with the rest."
