"In the next six months, I expect a good harvest from my farm. I have been spending part of the transfer on taking care of my maize crops which are now doing so well. I believe that when I got to harvest the maize we would no longer spend money buying the same and rather we will spend the money on other family basic needs."

"In the next six months, I am planning to buy goats from the savings I will get from my poultry farming. I will be able to sell these goats in future to pay school fees for my children. They are yet to start schooling and I have been yearning to give them the best education."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is not much as at now but I look forward to having a huge difference once I start harvesting the sugarcane I plan to plant now. Previously, I had only one farm but through the money I got from Give Directly, I was able to lease two more farms and even hire a tractor to plough the farms. I do have more farms compared the only one I had before My farming is going to grow to a larger scale meaning more income for my family when I harvest. This also will require my full-time attention so I will tone down on strenuous casual work as a mode of provision for my family."

"In the next six months, I expect to have saved part of my transfer and bought a sewing machine with other tailoring items that will necessitate the start of my tailoring business. I believe that this project will earn me an income to meet our family basic needs and also expand it in the future."

"Financial instability is my biggest hardship. My husband who works as a tukutuk driver in Mombasa supports me with approximately 1000 shillings in a month. I have to budget for this amount to meet all my family needs such as food, medical and school fees. It is not sufficient and I have to go an extra mile of plaiting my fellow women in the village but they pay very little. "

"In the next six months, I expect my children to get good health as in the past I would not afford three meals a day and a balanced diet due to menial income. After selling the farm produce I will buy maize and other foodstuffs for my family and we will enjoy together."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I have been able to own things like cattle that I never had before."

"The biggest difference in my daily lif is that, I can eat all the meals of the day and meet most of my daily needs."

"In the next six months, I expect that we'll have raised enough money that my spouse will use to pay my dowry. This will make me proud as a woman."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have a stable source of income from the poultry project. I am planning to start this project using the money I will get from merry go round. I am also planning to save some money I will get from motorcycle business and add to the income I will get from my poultry project to buy a dairy cow. This will therefore produce enough milk for the family and I will thus save the money I would have otherwise used to buy milk."
