"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that, I will have saved enough in a merry go round group to enable me to concentrate on my poultry keeping business."

"I spent the last transfers on launching a lifetime project investment of building a new house back at my rural home. I managed to build a two bedroomed house which in my personal opinion I believe I would have never managed to build to date were it not for the cash transfers from Give Directly."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is, I have enough land to farm on because I managed to get some land and paid off a debt which my land was used as collateral security. This has brought happiness in my household because there will be good security in my home. Prior to getting this transfer, I did not have enough land to farm on therefore I could work in people's gardens in order to give a small portion to farm."

"I used the money to pay school fees for my daughter who is currently doing her form four which is the final year in High School. I paid a total of 30,000 KES to offset the entire school fees arrears that had accumulated up to that time. The remaining amount of 19000 KES went into my savings account and I know that once my daughter is done with her final years in High school, the money will help me a lot in taking care of her future college expenses."

"I have many biological children and getting school fees is very difficult with my meagre income"

"My life has changed because our source of income has always been the casual jobs that are normally available on an off and on basis which makes life so unpredictable and at times surviving becomes extremely difficult. I have also been able to buy a few items in the house such as tables, seats, cupboard and a new 32 inch TV set which of course I would have never been able to buy were it not for the transfers from Give Directly."

"In the next six months, I will have started a grocery business. I will be also a poultry farmer because I already own some good number of chickens bought using the transfers. My sources of income will be more than last year and the year before I started to benefit from GiveDirectly. Because of this, I am going to be a reliable mother in my family."

"When I finally buy the solar lighting system which I hope I will have within the next six months, my daily life will definitely change as I will not have to spend daily on kerosene and the brightly lit house will make it easier for my children to read at night without any difficulties. This is great news especially for my child in his final year in primary school and needs to revise more for the final exams later this year."

"I hope that in the next six months, I will have more livestock in my cow shed as I am planning to buy more using the rest of GD transfers. I also have hope of having enough stock of food in my stores because this farming season was a very good one for me. With the help of GD transfers, I was able to buy quality farm inputs and cultivated a much larger piece of land than I ever have before because I could manage to hire labourers to help in the farm activities. I was also able to cultivate a portion of my land that has always been fallow due to lack of resources to cultivate which pleases me because I know my family will go for a very long time before spending on cereals and even have excess to sell in case we have any emergencies."

"In the next six months, I am certain that I will be attending school with little distractions caused by fee arrears. I will have cleared this semesters school fees."
