"In the next six months, I expect to get a bumper harvest from my farm. This is because this time round I invested in good seeds and fertilizer. With sales from the farm proceeds, I will be able to improve the condition of our house and even ensure that food is never a hiccup in my household."

"I am still planning to save more to boost my business which I take pride in as it generates my family good income. I expect to save some more to buy building materials to use in building a new home as we do have a smaller house that hardly accommodates my large family. My lifestyle will be so different by then as I will eat healthy food, dress well and live in a beautiful house."

"My life is different in that, I now sleep on a good double bed while enjoying cool music. I'm also planing to marry a wife since money for paying dowry is now available. Before, I was sleeping on the floor and It would take me many years to work for money for paying dowry if I had not received this transfer."

"Currently, my life is different in that my health has greatly improved having got proper timely treatment. Before receiving this transfer, my health was really deteriorating as I had a problem with my uterus that needed urgent attention. Living in a complete plastered house has as well made my life different as it makes it look more nice and easy to clean than before when it not fully complete. I would sweep it and the house filled with dust."

"My life has improved because I can afford to have a balanced diet . Before, I could only have a balanced diet after a month. In addition, I'm in the process of completing to build my spacious permanent house which I never thought I would have done. In the past, I had a small house which was not enough."

"The significant change in my daily life is that, I am a happy person because I received a phone that I am using for communicating. Besides, I have paid all the school fees for my children. Prior to this cash transfer, It was difficult to communicate and pay school fees because I used to rely on my small business and produce for paying fees."

"I spent my most recent transfer to begin a new business. I begun a business in selling a cultural Kenyan scarf known as a "Khanga". I get these scarfs from Mombasa county and I resell them here in Nairobi county, and in Mathare. I hawk these scarfs during the day around Mathare. I have also owned a green grocer shop for about three years now where I sell vegetables such as kale, spinach, tomatoes, onions; among others. The green grocer business does well in the evening mostly when people are preparing for dinner. I hawk the 'Khangas' during the day, and I concentrate on the green grocer shop in the evening as from 4:00 PM. I started the new 'Khanga' business to supplement my other income from my green grocer shop, as I am a single mother."

"My life has changed because I'm building my permanent house which did not have in my home. Before, I had grass thatched huts which were even leaking. I have acquired household goods for my visitors like utensils. In the post, I did not have specific utensils."

"To date, my life is different in that, I am happy because my household is food secure. I used GiveDirectly cash transfer for starting construction of my house other than selling food. Previously, I used to sell more of household food for solving family problems like building, leaving my household food insecure."

"I spent my most recent transfer to expand my business. I sell rice together with a cultural Kenyan scarf known as "Leso" in Mathare and also the neighboring outskirts of Mathare such as Eastleigh, Pangani, Ngara, and Huruma. I also sell these items in the Central Business District at times. I do not sell my items from a centralized location such as a shop, I normally hawk these items. I invested my transfers in a new business because I wanted to be self-employed and I also wanted a more reliable means of earning some income. I used to do casual laundry jobs in Eastleigh estate, where I would meet fellow women at a spot in Eastleigh estate that we used to sit and wait for potential clients to reach out to us. There are days when these jobs were easily available and some days the jobs were not there at all. On such days then you go home empty-handed. I am happy to be self-employed at a better place now as I have a more reliable source of income than I used to have."
