"The biggest difference in my daily life is that we were getting little income from what my husband was earning when he was employed. This always made us unable to meet some of the basic necessities for our family. Owning our own motorcycle has increased our daily income and we can now comfortably provide some basic needs like daily food and clothing for our family that previously seemed difficult for us to provide."

"I expect my life to have changed in the next six months because I will have an additional source of income from my poultry. I will be running an egg production and the sales from it will be a constant source of income."

" I live in a grass thatched house and i have always wished to build an iron sheet roofed house hence with this money i will be able to realise my dream. I will also use part of the money to improve the breed of cattle that i have by selling the indiginous breed that produces low quality milk and buying the exotic breed which produces more milk. With this, i will be a constant milk supplier within the neighbourhood which will earn me an extra source of income."

"My life has greatly improved in that, I have expanded my restuarant business which is now making more profits than I used to. I also bought an ox which is ploughing my farmland. This has enabled me to cultivate my crops in time without waiting for oxen for a long period of time as I used to."

"My life has tremendously improved in that, I'm now a very respected and loved man by my in laws. This is because I treated my mother and sister in law when they were admitted in the hospital. In addition, I bought pigs that I hope to sell in the future and buy cows for paying my wife's bride price. Previously, I never had money to buy livestock."

"My life is now different in that, I'm living a healthy life because I nolonger lack money to buy basic needs especially food. Previously, I didn't have any source of income and this made me to worry a lot over how to meet these needs hence deteriorating my health. In addition, I bought cows of which one is about to calf and I can sell the milk for income."

"When GiveDirectly came for enrollment, we decided as a group to contribute part of our transfers so that we can use it to start a project which we will run as a group. Due to this, I used 10000 KES from my most recent transfer as a contribution towards that. I also spent part of the money to pay for my house rent since the landlord had threatened to close our house because we had not paid fr two moths. I have always been the breadwinner to my family and getting our daily basic needs was a challenge since the little income that I was earning was not enough to satisfy all of them because my husband used to do some odd jobs and he could find none to do sometimes. Due to this, I decided to use the remaining amount to start up a business for him so that he will be using the little income he will be getting to support us."

"At the moment, I do not have any new or additional goals in my life that I didn't have before receiving the transfer. The only goal I currently have is to grow my business empire so that my daily income will increase. By doing so, I will be able to save some money that I will use to pay for my dowry when I get married. This business will also help me cater for my family needs on time and make sure they they lack nothing."

"Being the sole breadwinner is very difficult as I have to work extra hard to provide for my family. I believe my wife could have helped if she had a job but she is a housewife. It has always been my desire to equip her with skills so that she can play part in raising our financial status. To fulfill this dream, my wife will enroll in a dressmaking college and purchase all the equipment necessary to start a tailoring shop. Besides, I will purchase oxen to scale up farming and also hire them at a fee. This will mean a sustainable source of income that will meet our basic needs and save extra cash for future use."

"My life is currently different from how it would have been had I never received the transfer since I have made one step in life by expanding my business. This led to an increase in my daily income and I have now also started saving some money on a daily basis. Because of this, my family no nonger lack their basic needs and I thank God because all this would not have happened if i had not received my transfers."
