"In the next six months, I would not be purchasing food items since I will have harvested some which I got on my farm. This means we will be having enough to sustain us until next season. Beans will take shortest time harvest and I will have enough food for my family."

"In the next six months, I believe I would have bought a dairy cow and that for surplus milk, I will be selling to make an extra income at the end of every month. The money which I will get from this investment will help me pay school fees for my children."

"We already have a spacious house now that can comfortably accommodate our family more comfortably. and so in the next six months, I expect that my father will have plastered our house and therefore it will be looking more modern than it is now."

"I expect my diet to be well maintained in the next six months. We had agreed as a family that GD's transfer will be helpful in terms of purchasing food and other household requirements."

"It is always my wish to be independent so that I can support my family needs. In the next six months, I expect my life to be better than today in that I will have be owning a poultry farming hence I will be generating my own income trough eggs sales hence I will more independent and more stable financially and this will my happiness since I will be supporting my family needs and I will be a better position to invest more in different goal that comes up."

"My long life desire has been to own a businees that can sustain my family's basic needs. This aspiration has never come through because my job as a food vendor is not reliable as at today. I am forced to depend most on my husband who is doing a part time work as a carpenter. His income is not sufficient enough to cater for our family needs. Receiving this money means providing capital for my business and also enable my husband to start his own workshop. These businesses will be our reliable sources of income that can support our family's basic needs like food and education. I also plan to buy one cow for milk production, to supplly within the village. This will supplement our income and hence, this is basically what receiving this money means to me."

"I would like so much to own a piece of land where I will plant crops for subsistence use and sell the surplus to get money.This will be my first priority when I receive the transfers.On this same piece of land I will rear a dairy cow which I do not have for now and start dairy farming."

"Receiving this money means my dream of investing in a motorbike taxi is finally coming to reality. Currently, I depend solely on my husband's earnings, and given that he is a driver, his income is hardly enough to meet the household's needs. The only mode of transportation here is a motorcycle, this is a sector I want to venture into, particularly transportation of charcoal to Mombasa town. On a good day, one can earn up to ksh 2000. If I combine this with what my husband brings home, the issue of financial instability will be addressed. Again, I want to invest in agriculture, particularly maize farming and to achieve this, I will use part of my transfers to purchase oxen to assist in timely cultivation and ultimately get better yields."

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that I could not have managed to build a house for my son and lease land due to lack of money. Today, I have peace of mind. Generally, I do not go for casual jobs so much because I have started poultry farming which helps in supplementing my needs when I sell some of the birds. The demand is high in our village and this has enabled me to take care of my needs with ease."

"There is a really big difference in my life now that I received the transfers. I have really improved a great deal something I would not have gotten any money to facilitate the changes. What I have now would not have been there if not for the transfers. Right from clothing for the whole family, the growing cows, poultry project, furniture just to mention but a tiny few are some of the great things GiveDirectly has done in my life."
