"I expect to have saved money in a merry go round group and will have bought a heifer. I will also have a flock of sheep that will have multiplied. ]Owning livestock will have strengthened my financial position."

"I expect my life to change drastically in the next six months because I will be living in a cleaner and better house. Accordingly, I will be enjoying more rest and great health because of the reduced maintenance (cleaning) work and less dust in my house. Besides, I look forward to buying another cow to attract more milk for consumption and sale. As my age advances, I am striving to ensure I have a reliable source of income for sustaining myself."

"In the next six months, I am hopeful that I shall have bought the salon equipment and opened a business premise. This shall have attracted more customers and my profits shall be more, and this also means a comfortable life for my family."

"in the next six months, I expect to have bought two dairy cows. My cows will be providing us with milk which I will sell and keep some for domestic use. This will increase my income and give me ease in paying school fee for my son who is in a private school. I will also save some money generated from the milk supply to enable me to buy a posho mill in future."

"I want to buy a cow so that I will not have to buy milk like I do now. I am tired of buying milk within the village at exorbitant prices and at times I even take black tea because of lack of money to buy the milk. The advantage of having the cow will be that I will be able to sell the calves in the future in case I get an emergency of any kind that requires quick cash. Even if I do not sell the calves, the idea of selling milk to the residents of our village in return of some little money will also work."

"I expect my life to change significantly in the next six months. This is because one of my daughters who has completed her secondary school studies will have joined college to further her studies. I will save the money that I get from GiveDirectly to raise her college fees. Besides, I will be more confident about supporting my eight children as they pursue their studies because I will be owning more property, especially livestock. Still, I will have leased more land for farming as I reduce the amount of time that I will be spending handling casual work and fetching firewood from the forest."

"In the next six months, I am hopeful that the plastic chairs will have been purchased in large number and ready for hire. By that time, profits shall have started streaming in and the family lifestyle shall have improved."

"I have a plan of saving more cash so that I boost the small scale business that I believe will generate enough money for me. The savings will help me increase the size of my stock so that I do not run out of stock in order to keep my business afloat. I have an aim of continuing with this business into the future even when the transfers from GD will have been stopped sometime into the future."

"In the next six months, I expect to finish paying the money needed to get the title deed of my land. This has been my biggest worry since my inlaws have attempted so many times in the past to take ownership of that land. I will be at peace when I am assured that I have the ownership of the land I inherited from my husband."

"The final project I want to carry out is buying sheep that will eventually give birth after a period of close to three months. Eventually when the numbers will have grown, I will sell out part of the flock and buy cows that will generate milk so that I will not have to be buying milk every single morning like I do currently."
