"In the next six months, I will have earned a hefty amount of money from selling cabbage that I am currently growing. I will be planting another crop, preferable beans. I have resorted to growing short-season crops but making sure that I practice crop rotation to ensure that I avoid disease and reap from my investments."

"GiveDirectly has left a lasting impact in my life because it has enabled to acquire livestock and start a proper poultry-keeping business. It has given me a great boost to income-generating activities. The money that I get from the project at the moment is about KES 7000 from eggs and KES 100 from milk per week. This has helped me in a big way unlike before when I was relying on only om menial jobs to get little for consumption."

"In the next six months, I am expecting to live a better life. I expect to have completed home improvement by putting up a bigger house. This will top up to the peace that I am currently enjoying with my wife. I am to mend my relationship that was brought about by my inability to provide by proper utilizing the money I get from GiveDirectly to do more. I am certain that this is the only way of can make up for my family."

"I expecting my life to have become better and my home more comfortable. In the next six months, I will have connected my home to electricity and bought a television set. I have seen governments' efforts to supply electricity to our village that are underway. I will not be left out when this happens. I will then buy a television set using the money I get from farming. I am grateful that GiveDirectly transfers offset the biggest burden od=f school fees payment and completing home construction. I now hope to connect electricity to my home and live and live a more comfortable life."

"I expect my life to have improved in the next months. I know that my poultry project will be larger whereby I will be collecting about 20 eggs per day instead of the current 10 eggs. This will be sold at the price of KES 200 per day which is almost equal to my daily household expenditure of KES 300 per day."

"The biggest difference in my life is the very complete house that I had been struggling with for a long time. I spent the money on completing the house, painting it and buying furniture. It looks great and makes me happy to live in it with all the improvements that I made."

"My additional goal for the next transfers is to boost the shoe business. The business has been very helpful and it is my desire to make it stable so that it can sustain my needs long after the transfers. Right now I sell the shoes on the streets but it is my desire to rent a premise for the business."

"My life is different because I now have access to clean water. I bought a water tank that stores rainwater. This water is safe for drinking unlike the ones from a water pond that I used to drink. I would not have gotten money to buy a huge water tank because my reliance on menial jobs and subsistence farming would not have enabled me to buy one. Thank you so much GoveDirectly."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I shall have fixed an iron sheet roof and replace the grassed that one by buying building materials every month with the sent transfer. This is because at the moment the leaky grass-thatched roof of my house is in a deplorable condition which has made it risky for our habitation."

"In the next six months, I am hopeful I will have cleared my school fees and even paid for my exams. Initially, my parents used to struggle to ensure my school fees was settled. They had to do two jobs to meet the household needs as well as support my siblings. It was a hand to mouth lifestyle but as we speak the burden they carried on their shoulder has been reduced. The poultry project will be up and running hopefully. This will help ease the financial burden."
