"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I shall have saved part of the transfer on a monthly basis and buy an ox. Oxen are known for cultivation in my community hence I will use it to cultivate my farm and also get an extra income through cultivating my neighbours' farms at a fee. Finally, keeping animals such as a goat also comes as a source of pride according to our culture and tradition. Their milk production which is a very essential thing in human life."

"I expect in the next six months I shall have saved money and bought a dairy cow and through this dairy cow, I will get enough supply of milk Whereas I wouldn't have to be buying milk from other people in the village as I do. At some times I will also sell some of it and make an extra income."

"The college I'll be going to is quite a distance from home, it will be hectic walking there every day since I know I can't afford to take a motorbike daily. In the next six months, I hope that I will have saved some money from my monthly transfers to buy a bicycle for transportation to make life easier."

"The biggest difference is that I have been able to finish the construction of my house. This is a dream come true. My family now enjoys the comfort of space. Initially, we lived in a tiny house that had no windows with only one exit door. It used to be dark and very boring. But thanks to GD we currently live in a beautiful, spacious and well-lighted house."

"The difference in my life is the improvement of my shelter. This has been a major problem, I kept on wondering where I could get resources to improve my house but all my efforts were in vain. But I thank God for GD, through the support, I was not only able to build a better a house but also managed to repair my motorbike and with it, I can keep on generating income to help me sustain my family and even get enough for other developments."

"I lack words to explain how my life has changed. I used to do odd jobs that could earn me at most KES 150 in a day. This amount was supposed to sustain a household of 5 children from their eating, dressing, and education. I struggled but never gave up. Personal, GD has shown me the meaning of mercy and love. Thanks to the transfers, I now live in a bigger house with rooms for both the girls and boys that means more privacy. I have also paid schools fees upfront for my children and bought foodstuff enough stock for a couple of weeks. This makes me a happy dad."

"My life is currently different from how it was in that, I live in a spacious house. I was able to build a house after Give Directly came and boosted my income. I also have bulls that I use in ploughing my farm which has reduced my expenses since I do not have to pay for labour and this has helped me in ploughing a large area of land hence getting more yields which was a limitation before due to the low income that I could get."

"I expect in the next six months that I will be able to save part of the profits from the business and buy a goat since with the goat, I believe I will earn an extra income through the sale of some of them to cater for my needs in future."

"My expectation in the near future is to generally improve my lifestyle for the better. I want to ensure that my children can access all the basic needs they require. I also expect my business to start and pick up well so as to have good returns. I want to live a fulfilling life that I can be proud of."

"My expectation is to ensure that my children study well and that I am able to provide for all their needs. I wish to buy or be in a process to own plot of my own and develop it. I expect that we will be living a more decent live than we are now and enjoying life!"
