"I'm planning to raise money so that I can purchase a dairy cow in the next four months so that I won't budget for milk in the future. After achieving the goal of purchasing the cow I'll later save the coming transfer and buy more goats so that after they have given birth I can sell them to raise money for purchasing more cows for rearing. With the dairy cows, I'll be assured of additional income from the sales of surplus milk. At the same time, my family will have enough milk for consumption."

"I am able to do business which generates some cash at the end of the day. Apart from that, I also rely on the casual businesses of being a barber within the locality and so far I think it has generated some money which keeps me going on a day to day basis."

"My life is different because I have those things which I never had before such as the new house as well as the domestic animals which I acquired. If it were not for the cash transfers from GIve Directly, I think none of the mentioned items would have been possible to acquire."

"I was employed before I started getting the cash transfers but I currently have my own business which generates some income. I am a satisfied man because I do not have to depend on someone to employ me in order to make some cash."

"My life has changed because I will be in a position to cultivate my farm without having to wait for others to finish their cultivation and then get to borrow their animals for a certain period. In most cases, when you borrow the animals, the owner charges a certain fee which at times is not easy to get due to the limited financial abilities of most people in this locality."

"My life has transformed because of the new house that I already built using the transfers that I got from the organization. My kids are also able to go to school unlike before when they could spend months and months just staying at home because we lacked money to pay. Apart"

"I spent part of my transfer to finish constructing my mother's house which I had started working on with my second transfer. I am glad that my mother's house is now complete. The previous one was almost collapsing and I feared for her life. Before then, constructing a new house for her was impossible because I did not have a stable job. I used to wash people's clothes to get an income which couldn't build a house. I was forced to rent her a house in Nairobi paying 1000KES every month. She has now gone back to the countryside after the new house was ready and I am happy that she is staying where she loves most."

"My life has changed because these cash transfers, have enabled me to acquired own farm land. This season I hope to get good yields because I have Cultivated maize on large scale. Secondly, I bought 6 calves which I plan to use as bride price for my future wife. Previously, I farmed on small scale because I shared the farm with my other brothers and I could not afford to buy livestock."

"My life has changed in that, I own livestock that will enable me to marry and sustain my family. Previously, I heavily depended on casual jobs that were seasonal and low paying. Therefore, I basically worked for my stomach and other needs like medical hence making it difficult for me to save to buy assets."

"There is a difference in my life, I now eat thrice a day and on time because I stocked some food in the house. I also sleep in my newly constructed iron roofed house and on a good mattress. Before, I was sleeping in a grass thatched house with a leaking roof and on a very old mattress. Food was gold, I cold have only one meal in a day."
