"I spent part of my transfers to expand my business and to pay school fees for my child. I fry and sell french fries in my neighborhood in Mlango Kubwa village. I started this business late last year in 2018, after I received my first transfers. I used to hawk clothes here in Mathare before I received my first transfers. My clothes business started regressing and I would go even for three days without selling any clothes. This greatly slowed down my income. I thought of the idea to begin selling french fries as I saw that there are many primary school going children in my neighborhood, who enjoy this delicacy. This business has picked up well and I am assured everyday of some income."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have bought two goats. My current goat will have also reproduced and increase in number. With this, I will be knowing that I am also almost fulfilling my dream of owning a cow and later a plot. I will also be in the process of opening a shop. This shop will act as my source of income and I will be using the money I will be getting to support my family."

"In the next six months, I will have joined a college. I will be using the money I get from the farm projects I started with the transfers. This is from selling milk and eggs. The next transfers will also help me through college education."

"I did not have a good house, and the house I was living in was small and in poor condition. At the moment, I have managed to to live in a big house which I could never dreamed of. I was stranded with the child who is in secondary school because of school fees. This was after my son happened to had accumulated fees balance in school. I am happy now because I managed to clear the whole school fees, and have a peaceful mind."

"In the next six months, I expect to start my own sugar cane farm from which I will earn more income. This will help me raise some extra money that I will use to pay school fee for my children in secondary school. For several years, I had been desiring to start sugarcane farming since it yields much."

"In the next six months, I expect to lead a better life. We shall be having adequate milk for consumption by my family because we shall have purchased a lactating cow. Subsequently, I will save lots of money which could have been used to purchase the milk. Besides, we shall be residing in a new and better house because we are currently residing in a grass-thatched house. Hence, I look forward to a happier family in the future."

"I expect in the next six months to shall have saved money and buy a dairy cow, I believe I will earn an extra income through the sale of milk to cater to my family's needs."

"My life will change because I will have accumulated enough cash that will enable me to buy a piece of land where I will build my own house and live there with my family in a more comfortable manner. I no longer want to stay in the rental house because I think I have come of age and I now have the financial ability to get a piece of land and build a niece house. Of-course getting a new house has never been a walk in the park for anyone who has walked down that line but I believe that with dedication, I will eventually get there."

"I expect my life to change drastically in the next six months. By that time, I will be operating my own business - the shop. Still, my cow will be lactating, and thus getting me milk for consumption and sale. Additionally, I will no longer be herding our cattle. Instead, I will hire someone to handle the job. Overall, I will be leading a better lifestyle that is marked with increased income and reduced tedious activities. Thanks a lot GiveDirectly for giving me a helping hand."

"In the next six months, I expect to have bought some sheep for rearing as a way of investment for the future. I would wish to rear sheep because it doesn't incur a lot of costs to maintain as compared to goats."
