"In the next six months, I expect to have more investments in farming that will be yielding more income. I will be having a heifer that would soon calve. This will translate to milk production that will enable me to get some money when I sell it to consumers and also processing plants. Additionally, I will be running a successful poultry farming. This two activities will be sources of income that will aid me in living a good life meeting all my needs and those of my family."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have the resources needed to take my grandchild to college. I will want to save my transfers so that by the time my grandchild finishes secondary school, I have the money needed to cater for his college requirements."

"I spent a larger portion of my transfer on purchasing a second-hand motorcycle. I decided to buy a motorcycle because it is a popular means of transport in this area therefore once I start the business, there is hope for it to succeed. In addition to that, I spent the remaining amount on boosting my saloon business which I had started with the first transfer. I had been operating from my house but most of the customers did not like the idea of coming to my place. I am glad because I now have a business premise in the market where my customers are comfortable to get their services well done and I have also gotten new clients. I really appreciate because with a business premise most of the saloon equipment can be well stored and it is also attracting many customers as compared to working from home."

"I hope that in the next six months, the business I am currently planning to set up will be up and running. I want it to be so stable that when the time comes for the transfers to stop, I will not feel the pinch as I will have an extra source of income to supplement the casual jobs I currently depend on."

"The greatest difference in my life is that I bought a cow. I was spending a lot of cash buying milk for use at home but when I received the money from GiveDirectly I bought a lactating cow which gives us enough milk for use. My children have not been sent home for school fees since I was able to clear the school fee for the whole year. Again I built a house which I had been yearning to built for a long time. With all this great achievement in my life, I see a great change which was made possible by GiveDirectly."

"Currently, I am living a better life compared to a few months back before Give directly came to my life. Through their help, I managed to build a spacious permanent house. I also managed to buy a cow that started producing milk recently. The milk supplements our meals. It is also a source of income. I used the remaining amount to pay for my medical expenses. I am grateful to this organization for helping me. I could not have done all these were it not for them"

"Since graduating from the university in the year 2015,I have not been able to secure a job.The bad economic times in the country have made it difficult to get employment.Having a family requires that one has a source of income to meet the daily needs of the family.This has been a struggle for us,and despite having been educated to university level,I sometimes feel like a laughing stock since I am just at home like the rest of the villagers who didnt even get basic education.This is the biggest hardship I have faced"

"I live in a small house with only one room and my children are growing up very fast.This means that soon I will need a bigger house with more rooms.I am therefore planning to spend my first transfer on building a one bed roomed house made of iron sheet roof.The roof will help me collect water during the rainy season.I will also buy a dairy cow which will provide milk for my children and surplus for sale.I will use the second transfer to start a grocery business.This will save me from the casual labour I often do which is very tasking and tiresome."

"I have a plan of building a two bed roomed house made of wood when I receive the transfers.The house we live in is made of mud, old and leaks during the rainy season.I will also buy one dairy cow to boost my income from milk.Finally I want to buy 20 layers chicks so that I can start practicing serious poultry farming."

"We used to run a shop business in our home until it collapsed due to financial constraints. Profits we got from the business could not sustainably address the ever skyrocketing household needs. Receiving this transfer will mean a resuscitation of this business to its operation so as to finance our children's secondary education. "
