"My current house is in bad shape, the walls almost falling. It's unsafe and I always dread the rainy seasons because the house might fall on us anytime. I have the plans to construct a new one using the coming transfers. I'm hopeful that I'll have constructed a new house in the next six months."

"After expanding my current business I'm planning to use the additional income to start up a new business. There are a few grocery shops in our area but the demand for the vegetables is still high. I believe that when I venture in this business I'll earn a good profit. I expect to have started this business in the next six months and hopefully, I'll be earning a good income from it. This will enable me to raise the school fee for my children in the future without challenges."

"In the next six months, I will have already purchased a water tank. This will be a great step in my life. I will be fully accessible to clean water for drinking as well as for cooking. The money I would have spent will divet it to my poultry project since I plan to increase the number of chicken."

"I have the plans to start up a business because I do not have any source of income currently. This will save my spouse who is the main income earner from straining financially. He too doesn't have a reliable source of income and the little he earns from the casual is usually spent on food. With the additional income from the business, we'll be able to meet most of the family's needs without straining even after GD will have stopped sending us money."

"My expectation in the next six months is that, once I have bought a dairy cow for rearing, I will now focus on investing in intensive potatoes and vegetable farming. I want to generally do agribusiness since there is a hope of getting high returns in this sector. I believe the proceeds thereof will enable me take good care of my family. This will ensure that have enough food throughout the year."

"In the next six months, My life will be much better as compared to now because my poultry will have increased in number and so I will have some to sell hence generate more income. Besides, I will have already managed to purchase a plot with a friend and construction of the rental houses will have already kicked off."

"Being an old woman, I no longer have the energy to smear the mud house and so most of the time, It was unappealing to the eye. I always had to pay someone to come do it for me which was financially draining. At the moment, I am now happy because I know my problems are soon coming to an end since the house is still under construction. At least I will no longer not only have to spend on house maintenance but also have a decent and clean cooking area"

"When I received a Mpesa message that I have received money form from Givedirectly, I was very happy. I immediately woke up my wife and we celebrated together. We all remained sleepless until morning when we joined the rest of the villagers in celebration"

"Being a student and my parents do not have a reliable source of income yet they still take care of my younger siblings, I'm planning to use the coming transfers to meet my needs while at the campus. This will enable my parents to meet the needs of the younger siblings withouut straining. In the next six months, I expect to meet most of my needs on my own."

"My daily source of income comes from selling 5 litres of milk daily produced by my two cows at ksh 30 per litre. I therefore plan to add one more cow that will increase milk surplus meaning i will be able to increase my daily sales thus i won't have much struggles paying school fees for my last born son who will be joining secondary school next year. My second transfer will enable me to fence my compound with barbed wire and wire mesh then initiate poultry project that will supplement the income i usually earn from selling milk."
