"In the six months, I want to boost my foodstuff business. I would want to add more stock so that I can stabilise my business. I know through this I will have a stable source of income which will help me provide for my family well."

"In the next six months, I want to plaster my house. This is my biggest goal this year. I have always desired to have a house but I would not want to lose it soon. I would want to handle the issue of plastering it once and for all so that I focus on other needs."

"In the next six months, I want to start saving so that I can raise money for my college fees. I finished my secondary school last year but due to lack of money, I was not able to join college. This is the reason why I want to save so as to further my education."

"I expect that in the next six months, I will have opened my own egg depot where I will distribute the eggs and chickens from the chicken project I am currently putting together. This will mean a much better source of income for me compared to the current casual farm jobs that I depend on yet earns me just peanuts. My prayer is financial stability which I hope will be witnessed in the next six months."

"In the next six months, I want to invest more in farming. I want to ensure any planting season I use fertilizer and hybrid seeds which I know will give me the best harvest. I will sell the surplus to raise income to support my family financially."

"My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because l am able to dress neatly and smart as compared to before when l was looking like baboon."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now living in my new house which is also spacious through financial support from GiveDirectly. I could not renovate the old house because of the financial challenges that I was going through. However, with the transfer, I was able to achieve this and I am comfortable living in with my family. I am now glad that my children can now sleep at home."

"My only goal right now is to join college as soon as possible so that I don't waste away in this village.I know my family will not be able to pay for it but we have already started organizing for a fundraiser to assist us in raising some little money that will facilitate my joining then the rest will be taken care of by the government. I hope that in the next six months,I will be in college chasing my dream."

"I manage to plaster the floor of my house, my wife had had time sweeping the floor. I opted to plaster so that she can get to work less by just mopping the floor. Were it not for GD, it would have taken me some time before I save enough money for plastering. I thank Give Directly for helping me plaster my house. I finally managed to fulfil my promise to my wife who had a hard time to repair and cleaning the mud-walled house. She now has an easy time doing the cleaning, therefore, giving her ample time to engage in other meaningful activities. Were it not for GD, it would have taken me some time before realizing this dream. I had started saving though since I earn very little plastering this house was almost impossible."

"Owning the pair of oxen is the biggest difference in my daily life because initially, I could spend a lot of money on hiring from neighbours during planting season. Getting my own pair will relieve me the expenses of hiring and instead I will hire to them at a fee thus getting an income. I am also assured of cultivating a bigger piece of land and this will increase my production thus my family will have enough food to last us for a longer period. I am grateful for the financial support."
