"I was very happy. I had planned to build a better spacious kitchen but I lack adequate resources. Upon receiving the transfers I knew this dream was going to be fullfiled."

"The biggest difference is that I now can farm vegetable for both domestic and as a cash crop. This will help me generate income for my family as well as put food on my table. Before, this was not the case. The vegetables could either die due to drought or eaten up by the goats and sheep due to lack of proper fencing. This has been solved by the new tank that stores water and the strong fence to keep the animals out of the farm. My farming has improved drastically."

"The biggest difference is that I can now drive legally without fear of being arrested. My movement has also been made easier thanks to the new motorcycle. I save a lot on transport and it also acts as a source of income."

"I am planning to improve my poultry farm. Right now I have a small poultry house keep afew chicken and I have planned to build a bigger house and buy more chicken to rear. Poultry keeping does not require so much capital to start and does not require so much skills to run."

"In the next six months, my focus is on tilling the land in order to plant maize and beans on large scale and if all goes well, I will sell them and buy a dairy cow. I will from there sell milk and get an income out of dairy farming."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that, I will have built a kitchen. When this dream come to reality, I will be able to store my grains well. My birds (hens) will have a better place to rest at night and my children will also enjoy sleeping in a spacious place."

"In the six months, I would want to buy building materials. After paying the dowry, I want to ensure I utilise these transfers effectively by building a house of my desire. I would not want to live in a grass-thatched house after this life-changing opportunity. I will save and buy the materials bit by bit until they are enough to build an iron-roofed house."

"In the next six months , I expect my life to be living happily in that will have completed the first lap of merry go round and I expect to continue with it with an aim of saving money for buying a piece of land which has always been my goal."

"in our projection, with the construction of the poultry house we are hoping to have completed in the next six months. I expect to have started collecting eggs and selling to the outside market since I am planning to concentrate on layers rearing."

"I had a plan of starting second-hand clothing business before the next six months, thus I will have an additional source of income apart from the transfers I receive from GiveDirectly. Through this business, I will be able to pay my school fees alone. I can also chip in and help my mother pay for school fees for my younger siblings too once I stabalize the business."
