"My biggest worry is putting food on the table for my family. This is one thing I have struggled with for the better part of my life. Most times we survive on two meals a day, that is breakfast and supper constituting of a cup of porridge and a handful of ugali and 'omena' respectively. Lack of a stable source of income coupled with low crop production due to poor weather conditions has contributed much to this predicament. "

"My expect my life to change positively in the next six months because I am optimistic that I will have acquired the land for maize production. I believe in the next six month I will have planted it hoping that its production will relieve me the stress of buying food."

"My new goal is to purchase a motorbike to use it for transport business. I hope to get into the transport services industry, as I feel that it is a business that is reliable and it can earn me good money on a daily basis."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I shall have saved part of the transfer and use it to boost the barbershop business which I have recently started to get an extra income to support my and provide my family's needs without depending on my relatives and friends assistance."

"The moment I received my money, I felt very happy because I was going to building my permanent house and pay the school fees debt."

"I expect in the next six months to have purchased chickens. This will assist me with income to pay the school fees for my child. I will manage this by using transfers."

"In the next six months, I expect to have completed my course on food and beverage. I shall thereafter apply the skills I have learned to seek formal employment and be able to support myself. Once I succeed in securing a job, I shall use part of my income to support my siblings and my grandparents."

"Receiving this money means that I will purchase two dairy cows. This will mean a constant supply of milk in my village and the nearest Bamba market. Running this business will help me attain a stable source of income that will cater for my family needs. The biggest motive behind this is to achieve my ambition of educating my children. I believe that education is the only inheritance that I can give them since I own nothing apart from my small house. This will help them come out of the vicious cycle of poverty in our family, which I believe is caused by illiteracy."

"My life is different in that I have started a poultry project. I used part of my first transfer to buy chicken and build a poultry house. The income I get from the sale of eggs is enough to buy food for my family. I can now help my spouse to provide some of the family basic needs and I no longer depend on him to cater for the family needs as I used to do before receiving my transfers. I have also joined merry go round using the money I get from the poultry project. I will use the savings from merry go round to buy a goat since goats matures faster and I will sell them in future to pay school fees for my children."

"In the next six months, I expect to buy sheep and some chicken which I will keep for my financial security. I shall also be able to raise more livestock from these animals in the future. This will not only be of help to me but will also be a remembrance of the support I have been receiving from GiveDirectly."
