"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have saved enough to buy a piece of land to do horticulture farming. This project will also earn me an income by selling the produce at the market."

"I expected my life to be better in the next four months in that I will have harvested some of my crops. I expect to have enough food in my store to take my family until the next harvesting season. I am hoping that I have renovated my house and will be more decent unlike now."

"I expect to have started the tea business in the next six months. I would wish to have established a reliable source of income. Having an additional income will enable me to provide enough food for my family. As I look for money from other casual work, I will be in a position to create self-employment for my wife. She will be supervising those harvesting tea and also ensure they are transported to the factory."

"In the next six months, I know I will be done with driving lessons and start a savings account. My goal is to use the savings to buy building materials such as iron sheets and nails for building a house. Currently, I sleep at my friend's house because according to our culture, at my age, I am not allowed to sleep in my parent's house. Since I do not have my own house, I have to find where to sleep and secondly, there is no privacy when I sleep at friend's house. This is why I feel it is time I have my own house."

"For some years now, I have been longing to buy goats but I could not due to low income and other urgent family needs that needed to be taken care of. Within GiveDirectly's assistance, I have managed to finally buy five goats. I am happy with the progress I have made so far and only hope to achieve more with them after they have reproduced."

"In the next six months, I know I will have saved enough money and used the savings to put up a new roof. The house I am living in was built many years before I got married and we have lived in it all those years. Before my husband died, we had a plan of putting up a new house but unfortunately, he passed away and due to low income from farming, I am not able to raise enough money for building a new house. This is why I have decided on replacing the roof I have now to keep me going."

"My life will be different in the next six months because I will have used the transfers in starting a cloth business. After building a new house with my transfers, I have been using part of my monthly transfers to buy household items and since I also depend on income from casual work and farming, the transfers have been regular and helping me more than my other sources of income. My goal is to have another stable source of income to help me raise money for buying household items and meeting other family demands with fewer struggles. This is why I have decided on starting a cloth business to boost my income."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have saved enough to buy a goat. I had wished to own one before but it was no possible because I did not had enough money. I will buy at least three so that I will sell in case of any emergency that might come up."

"My house fell a year ago. I have not managed to build another due to financial constraints. My business is not generating enough income to do so and so at the moment, I reside at my business premise. As a woman, I desire to have my own house in my matrimonial home."
