"I expect your life to change in the next six months in that I will have saved some money in the merry go round group that is in the village to enable me to buy a dairy cow. This will reduce the cost of buying milk."

"The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have bought a heifer. I used to save some money in a merry go round group that we have started in our village and the savings has enabled me to buy a heifer which could not have been possible before. I do casual jobs in the village and the amount of money that I get cannot take care of both my basic needs as well as any development project. When I started receiving the money I developed a saving culture with the intention of buying a dairy cow. I used to spend most of my time in doing casual jobs but currently, I devote most of my time to my family and on my farm. Getting the money from GiveDirectly has completely changed my family's way of living. I'm so happy and grateful for the support."

"My new goal in the next few months is to finish building the poultry house. With the monthly transfers and the money I will soon get from the milk produced by my dairy cow, I know I will manage to set up a bigger poultry project. I will be able to build a big poultry house and buy several chicken to start with. With the poultry business and the dairy farm, I will be able to provide for my family. I am glad that apart from the transfers that we get, this organization opened our eyes and empowered us in a big way."

"My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that I currently don't overwork myself to meet family basic needs. I spend my monthly transfer on my children school fees and other households daily needed hence I get humble time to plan other things since the urgent one are settled on time. I currently have bigger plans that monthly transfer has triggered in my life like having an improved dairy cow that will help have higher milk production for both household consumption and sales unlike before when I had no other business ideas due to low income and overwhelming family needs that I only strive to satisfy."

"The new goal that I have for my life in the next four months is to buy a cow. I have saved money on amerry go round group and my turn will before four months elapse from now hence I will use the lump sum to bring another asset to my family. I prefer to buy a cow since it will help in milk production for both household consumption, sale and calves that will act as my security for any financial needs arising."

"My life is different from how it was in that we have been able to buy some fencing materials and fenced the farm. Before we fenced, we usually incur lots of losses when cows invade our farm destroying our crops. Having the fence has greatly reduced the risk of loss for our farm produces. We also have enough food for our family since we are assured of the monthly transfer. We budget well and buy enough food unlike before when we sometimes had to go borrowing from opur village mates."

"My new goal in the next four months is to jointly save money with my sons in order to buy a dairy cow. This additional dairy cow will increase the volume of the milk I sell and double my sales in order to meet my obligations as the household head easily."

"The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is being able to save in my merry go round group. This is because saving about 1500 KES per month is a huge leap in my financial abilities. Initially, my savings was at most 500 KES but now I am able to save a substantial amount which is enough capital to engage in dairy farming. The savings will be handed to me in the next few days and expand my restaurant business with it. I intend to buy a dairy cow for milk production too. I am hopeful to be a proud mother of my two children because I will afford to meet their needs through the extra -income from the sales of the milk."

"In the next four months, I plan to buy a dairy cow that will help in feeding my family and selling the surplus to meet other basic household need. This, I plan to do by using the proceeds from my farm and saving from my casual jobs to be able to raise the money needed. I plan to buy a cow worth KES 30000"

"My life is currently different from the way it was four months ago in that my house is neat and less dusty because I was able to plaster the floor with the previous transfers. In addition to that, I feel proud because I own goats which I consider as a way of investment. In the future, after they have given birth, I'll sell them and raise money to purchase a cow."
