"In the next six months, my son would have joined the university. I will be a proud mother seeing my son pursuing his education like other children in the village. I will still continue saving part of my transfer so as to continue supporting him."

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer since we currently have adequate and relatively comfortable seats in our house unlike before. It has been shameful for us to welcome guests to our family yet we had very limited seats of low quality. Hence, we are currently happy to welcome visitors with lots of confidence."

"My expectation in the next few months to ensure that I have more than one income. Once the project is up, I will be able to rent it out and hopefully, the proceeds will help me with some of the family chores. This will enable me look after my family well. I will also be able to pay my childrens school fees on time. I want to generally improve the general lifestyle of my family."

"In the next six months, I expect my life to change in that I will have cemented my house. I have struggled for a long time searching for materials to repair it which have now become scarce and difficult to find. I am glad that when this happens I will have a decent house just like other people in my neighbourhood."

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to finally build another house.I have always wanted to renew my house but it has been difficult.I have two children in college and two in secondary school.All the money we get from our farm proceeds go to paying their school fees.Now that I have had a helping hand from GiveDirectly,I will be able to provide my family with a better home.Am very grateful."

"My new goal for the next four months is to save for my college education. I believe through completing college I will be able to get employed and assist my parent back at home to provide the basic household needs."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I am saving most of the transfer in my personal account and with the saving, I am confident that I will use them to start a Mpesa shop and make an extra income."

"I expect that in six months time, I will have a stable business so that I can be able to provide for my children and reduce the burden my aunt currently has of providing for us. I have not yet decided on the type of business I want to do yet, but I am sure I will know by the time I receive my next transfer because I will seek advice from my aunt who has been in business for a very long time."

"I want to save towards buying building materials i.e cement and sand that I want to use to finish building my house. I had built a house back then but it was smeared with mud which gave my children constant flu due to the dust. I also want to build a toilet as I do not have one and I am tired of using my neighbour's. I look forward to living in a clean, serene and beautiful house once I am done with the finishing."

"I have been planning to go to college to take a course on mechanical engineering for a while now, but it has never happened due to poor planning and financial difficulties. Having the certificate on that course will greatly change my life as it will come with financial benefits. I hope that in the next six months, I will have joined the college and I will be on course to achieving my dream."
