"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!"

"My priority is to have my good health back so that I can have the energy to work on my farm. Once I am well, I want to improve my livestock farming by buying an additional sheep. This will ensure that I have enough assets that I can always sell whenever I have an emergency or a need to take care of."

"My expectation in the near future is to be financially stable. I want to be in a position where I can look after my children and well be abke to orovide all their needs. I also expect to buy a piece of land of my own since I don't want to solely depend on my ancentral land since its getting overstretched every passing time. I want to generally ensure that our lifestyle is improved and live a more comfortable life more than we are now."

"I plan to buy new motorcycle, and the current one will be repaired, this will enable me to create employment for others and will be sure of KES 300 in a day to do other projects. I plan to save the daily income until it will make me qualify for credit service from the bank."

"As I have quoted earlier, there is a plan in place to start poultry keeping project and purely local breed, this is easy to manage because they are resistant to diseases. I have realized the demand for chickens in local hotels in the region and this will help me fetch more money to sustain the family even after the end of the program. Now I eat the meals which are necessary for my body and payment of fees is easy unlike before when I could walk to relatives to look for financial support."
