"Owning the pair of oxen has made my life to be more different so far. I am so sure they help me in my farming activities because I currently do not have a farm I normally lease. I always hire the pair of oxen from my neighbours and sometimes do the tilling by myself when I fail to afford the fee. But with the air of oxen that I have, I will be able to plough at ease and to add on that I will be hiring t to my neighbors at a fee. This will be my major source of income since in my village there are few people who own the ox hence the demand is high."

"My expectation in the next six months is to have a permanent strategic plan for my unemployment. I want to start planting bananas and trees. I will be selling the seedlings to earn a living as I wait for the selected few mature ones. I want to start selling timber in the next few years. I also want to also start a poultry farm for my wife. She has an interest in poultry keeping. I know that with these activities, our living standards will improve for good."

"In the next six months l expect to have completed extended my house and staying in a nice spacious comfortable house."

"In the next six months l expect to have started saving for my project of plastering my house and staying buy a few plastering materials."

"The happiness of a parent is to see his or her children healthy. This has never been the case for me since I have been struggling to find proper medication for my child but this has been in vain. This has resulted to spending sleepless nights, thinking of what to do in order to find permanent solution to the health this health menace. The transfers I am about to receive will restore back my joy which I have lost for many years."

"At my old age, i solely depend on selling 6 litres of milk daily produced by my Friesian cow at ksh 27 per litre to sustain the needs for my two grand children and myself. I therefore will invest my transfer in buying two more dairy cattle to boost my income whose savings will latter enable me to build a new house and start up poultry keeping project hence my living standards will greatly improve."

"I have been hoping to build a nice and decent house to live in for long but due to the financial constraints I was facing, I could not fulfil this. I am a casual laborer and the little money I raise per day wasn't enough to cater for both household daily needs and construction of a new house. Through the coming of GiveDirectly, I managed to buy some building materials which include building poles for this purpose. I am expecting my new house to be completed soon and the hope of realizing my goal of having a decent house gives me biggest difference in my daily life."

"In the next four months, I believe I will have harvested the potatoes that are currently on my farm. I know they will do well which means I may get a good income out of it. I did all the procedures on times and used all the necessary inputs that's why the plants are doing so well. This will give me enough capital to start my own boutique. I have acquired a few skills in this field I had worked for someone. I know when I combine my profits and the money I get from GiveDirectly I will be able to come up with a big and more established boutique in this village"

"In the next six months of my life, I believe that my living standards will have improved. First, I will have finished building a house for my children. I am also optimistic that my son will be doing well in school because I will have paid most of his school fees. This means that he will not be sent back home for school fees more often. I thank Give Directly for their financial help and support. I will continue praying for them so that they can continue helping other people too."

"The moment I recieved my money, I became very happy because I had got money to help me complete my house and pay school fees for my child."
