"My plan is to spend the transfers for purchasing animals like cows and a bicycle. I will give part of these cows to my in-laws as dowery such that our marriage is formalised traditionally. The bicycle will be source of transport since I intend to start planting and selling tomatoes within near by markets. The money realised from selling tomatoes I will spend to provide basic needs like health, education and shelter for my family members. "

"My spouse is an orphan and during the period of our marriage, he had to sell two acres of land. This was intended to raise money for dowery that was given to my parents. My family has limited land to cultivate crops. Iam able to produce little from farming because of no land. Therefore my priority is to first obtain farm land with this money. I will be in position to increase on crop production that can sustain my family."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to buy oxen and an ox-plough, a piece of land for cultivation and provide scholastic needs for my children. "

"The biggest hardship I have faced is lack of money. I attimes fail to take my children for medical attention because I cannot afford the services."

"Receiving this money means buying oxen that I will use to support in opening land for crop cultivation. I will sell part of the produce for paying my children's school fees and the balance will be consumed at home. Currently, I hire bulls which is very costly and even then, you will get when it is very late for the season."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is illness. I am living HIV positive and this has weakened me physically to participate wholesomely in agriculture prompting me to sometimes hire labour."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is illness that has hindered me in doing most of the productive work at home like gardenning and cooking."

"Receiving this money means acquiring oxen for timely ploughing and crop cultivation. That will lead to high yields and food security in my household. Currently, I hire oxen and when the season just starts, it's competitive because every body wants to plough which makes prices to rise up. That situation has led to delayed ploughing and crop cultivation which had led to a sitation of food shortage at my household. "

"Currently the woman I'm staying with as a spouse is not officially married to me. We have been courtshipping for 2 years and even got children. So, when I receive this money, I will use part of it as dowry to go and appreciate her parents so that other matrimonial arrangements can go forward. I will also use the other part of the money to rent agricultural land because currently we are doing agriculture on a small scale. This will give us higher yields that we shall use as food and also sell some so that we can have some income to sustain the household."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will be a proud owner of a dairy cow. With this, I will be assured of a source of income after GiveDirectly will have stopped sending us the financial aid after the years they had promised us. I will have also harvested and stored my beans as I will be waiting till next year so that I can sell them when the demand is high."
