"In the next six months, I will be having livestock to keep. I intend to buy sheep and chicken so that I grow them. When they multiply, I will have enhanced my capacity to provide for my family especially from the sale of eggs. I hope that I will have this established by the end of the next months. I expect this income-earning to help in meeting my daily needs."

"Many things have happened in my life since I started receiving the transfer from GiveDirectly which have really changed my life. The biggest difference so far is the piece of land which we bought with part of the transfers. We are currently living on a portion of land which we inherited from our parents, but we had the desire together with my husband of owning some piece of land which as at now we have one. Again, I bought two heifers with the intention of rearing them. I believe with time they would have reproduced and we will have more cattle which we can sell to have money for supporting my children education."

"My life is currently different because I have enough oxen for farming. Farming will not cost me as much as I used to. I have avoided the cost of hiring someone to prepare my land. I am also hoping to start working for other people in order to get money."

"In the next six months, I will have bought livestock to keep. I will use the money from my merry go round group to buy some cattle. I will buy some oxen that I will rear, grazing them in the nearby Mau forest where there is plenty of water and grass. They will have sufficient forage and grow quickly. I hope to be able to sell the cattle in the future and use the money to buy more land. Having more farmland that I will grow tea will give me a good income."

"I will have completed the merry go round that I have been taking part in. When this is complete, I plan to join another round of pooling money with my neighbors so that I can use it on school fees for next year and to complete building a house for my sons."

"I am hoping to have acquired a dairy cow so that I can provide milk for my family. This cow will also be a source of income from the sale of milk. My business in grains business will also be on track. I am hopeful that the COVID 19 problem will be over by that time so that we can move freely and do more in terms of marketing the grains and even farm produce including spring onions."

"The biggest difference in my life ever since I received my transfers is the peace which I got after managing to repay all the monies which I had borrowed to support my business. Secondly., I was able to invest part of the money in boosting my business. Now I get to serve more customers and also earn a good profit from it. The profit which I make enables me to cater to my family needs with less struggle."

"my life is different because of the home improvement that I made and personal care products that I got using the transfers. I also made a huge step in establishing my family by paying dowry. I am happy that I am now duly married. As we speak, my elders are on their way to my bridegroom home to formalize my engagement according to our tradition. I am now a complete man. I will continue excelling in farming and make a happy home because I have been started off well in a good time by GiveDireclty."

"I heard the message tone at night. However, I could not read it so early morning I called upon my daughter who read the message for me. At that moment I felt very happy and excited because I had waited for this opportunity for a long time."

"My life is different now because financial support empowered me to construct a decent house. Previously I was sheltering in a small old and weak house which was almost collapsing. I am now grateful because the new house now accommodates all my family members who have always been my dream. In addition, I now have livestock such as the ox the goats which I can lean on just in case of any financial crisis."
