"My expectation in the next six months or so is to build a better brick house for our family. Right now I stay in a two room mud walled house. Maintain and keeping neat a house made of mud is such a gruesome work and takes too much time doing so. It is also not hygeienic to stay in such a house especially for young children because of the dust. I also want my children to go to a good school."

"My expectation in the near future is to have a dairy cow for rearing. The milk produced by the cow will go a long way in reducing the daily expenditure and I can invest what I will save by doing that elsewhere. I also want to renovate my house. I live in a mud walled house now and I want my status in the society to improve. I want to comfortably provide my children with all the needs they require."

"I expect my life to change drastically in the next six months because I will have purchased another cow to expand my herd to attract more milk for consumption and sale. Besides, I will have accumulated relatively sufficient funds for educating my child who will start schooling next year. At the end of the year, we shall purchase some parcel of land since we shall have attained a bonus from the sale of tea. Hence, GiveDirectly is a savior and a blessing to me and my family."

"In the next six months, I expect my life to change significantly since I will have purchased a cow. Currently, I do not own any cow or significant asset that could be used as collateral to secure financial support. Thus, owning one will mean a lot to me and my family. We shall be getting milk for consumption and sale. Besides, I will have harvested the maize. Hence, we shall be enjoying adequate food in our family. Finally, I endeavor to start a new grocery business so as to do away with casual work. Overall, I look forward to a totally better life."

"I expect my life to change from worse to better in the next six months in that I shall be having my own kitchen. I shall no longer be forced to forgo supper while I have food simply because of weather changes. In addition, my child will also have a place where he will be spending his night without being squeezed within my main small house. This will give him the freedom to stretch into the night doing his assignment with minimal disruption."

"I do not expect my life to change significantly in the next six months since I will still be educating my three children. However, I look forward to a bright future because GiveDirectly came to support us in educating my children. Eventually, my family shall be filled with joy when all of my children complete their studies and probably secure well-paying jobs. Still, I will gain more respect and care from my children since I will have provided and cared for them abundantly."

"In the next six months, I am focused on starting a poultry project. This, I want to start by fencing the compound and building a chicken house in the next two months. I will then assemble the necessary resources in terms of money for buying chicken and feeds in the next four months. This will greatly boost my income and ensure that we meet most of the family's needs with ease."

"I expect to stop hard labor that I have been doing all through my life in the six months. Thereafter, I shall begin to concentrate on running my shop which I hope will generate for me good profit. I shall, therefore, not suffer from asthma attack which I had been suffeing from before."

"I expect to save enough cash so that I can be able to build a new house for my son who is really growing so fast and I do not think it is appropriate for him to sleep in the kitchen structure anymore. Building the structure is not an easy thing to achieve but I know that with proper planning and discipline in terms of savings, I will be able to achieve it."

"After clearing the loan I have with the farming organization, I would like to save some of these transfers to enable me expand my hotel business. I am currently not able to prepare enough food for my customers because of the little stock I usually buy due. This is because everyday,I take some money out of the profitss I make to to take care of loan payments and other household requirements which cannot allow my business to grow."
