"I strongly believe that this business will be the main source of income and a source of survival for our family. So for me, my main focus is to ensure that the business picks up so well and increase the revenues day by day."

"My expectation in the near future is to be able to have made enough savings to be able to buy a plot and build. Having continually invested in my tea business, I hope I will make enough returns later to help me build a plot. This I will lease out and get some income. I will be able to better look after my family well. This will generally improve our lifestyle."

"In the next six months, I expect I will have expanded my project and enhanced my production. I am looking forward to becoming an established poultry farmer. To act as a benchmark for those who want to start the same project. Besides that, I will be at a position of consistently providing for my family with much ease and at a comfortable state."

"In the next six months, I would bought a dairy cow and would not be buying milk for use anymore. The surplus milk which I would be getting I would sell to earn money to cater to other family needs."

"I am currently living in my in-laws compound and I am required ( tradition)to move out into my own compound. This is usually a man's responsibility but since my husband is late, I have to man up and ensure this is done. I have been buying the necessary construction materials over the past months and I am glad that I am close to my goal. My current house is very tiny and in a very dilapidated state as well, so my only expectation is that in six months, I will have constructed a better house in my home."

"Even though I am a full-time student, I also continue to work in house construction whenever I can so that I can be able to save more money for my college fees and my upkeep as Give Directly transfers will soon stop. This is quite hectic because I have no time to rest and my overall health will soon be affected. To have a better life, I decided to apply for a Higher Education Loan that is offered by the Government to college students which I hope will pay for a huge portion of my college fees so that my savings can be left to cater for my personal needs. When this happens, I will stop working during the weekends which will give me enough time to focus on my studies."

"In the next six months, I will have already bought a water tank. When this goal actualizes, I believe the harvested water will last me up to the next rainy season. This will save me from walking a long distance in search of water. I will use this time to do farming and other household chores."

"Currently, I rely on farming as the main source of income but whatever I get from it is spent on food for the family. I'm, therefore, planning to start a business. In the next six months, I will be saving the transfers from GiveDirectly and ensure that I have enough capital to help me start a meaningful business that will supplement what I am already getting from farm produce."

"In the next six months l expect to continue staying in a nice plastered house like other people without worrying of being affected with dust and frequent maintenance of the floor which is time consuming and very expensive."

"Receiving this money means that i will be able to improve poultry farming by adding more chicken, building a more advanced poultry unit as well as fencing all around my compound with wire mesh in order to restrict the poultry from going to my neighbours' farms to destroy crops hence no more conflict with my neighbours. My second transfer will enable me to add one dairy cow for milking in order to boost the daily income i normally earn from selling 4litres of milk daily produced by my cow at ksh27 per day "
