"My plan for the coming years is to continue farming, as I believe it is the best investment for my future. When I receive my third transfer, I will plant pawpaw, bananas, and vegetables to ensure a steady supply of food and income. Farming has always been my main source of livelihood, and I am confident that expanding it will improve my life. I also plan to engage in self-employment alongside farming to further improve my financial stability. With these efforts, I aim to support myself and create a better life for my future. I am determined to keep working hard, and I truly believe that farming will help me achieve my goals."

"In the coming years, I want to focus on farming, particularly growing watermelons, as I believe it will bring good income. When I start earning from the watermelons, my plan is to open a business shop. I will use the profits from that shop to pay for my children’s education, ensuring they have a better future. Farming and business will be key to improving our lives and providing for my family. I am determined to make sure my children get an education and have the opportunities I never had. This will be a step toward securing a brighter future for all of us."

"GiveDirectly has been very reliable, and I appreciate that they always fulfill their promises. They do not lie or make false commitments, which has made me trust them even more. I really like how they follow up with us to make sure everything is going well and that we are using the money properly. This follow-up shows their dedication to helping us and ensuring the money is used for its intended purpose. From my experience, I did not notice anything bad about how they operate. Overall, I am grateful for their support, and everything has been handled well."

"When I get my third transfer, I plan to purchase cows so that I can get milk for my family and stop buying milk from the shop, which is very expensive. I believe having my own cows will help reduce costs and improve my family’s nutrition. Additionally, I will combine the income from my business with the transfer to invest in more livestock. This will not only provide a steady source of milk but also give me an opportunity to increase my income through selling the livestock. My goal is to become more self-sufficient and reduce my reliance on external sources. I am hopeful that with hard work and the right investments, I will be able to improve my family’s quality of life in the coming years."

"I really appreciate how GiveDirectly follows up with us to make sure we use the unconditional cash correctly, so we don’t misuse it. It's also reassuring that they don’t ask for the money back once it’s given, which helps us feel secure in using it wisely. I have not noticed anything bad about GiveDirectly; everything has been well organized and transparent. The support they provide is very helpful, and I feel confident in how they handle everything. They’ve made sure to guide us properly, and I’m grateful for that. Overall, I’m satisfied with the way they’ve conducted the process, and I haven’t seen any areas for improvement."

"The officers from GiveDirectly spoke to me kindly and explained how to use the money in the right way. They encouraged me to plan carefully and not misuse the funds, which was helpful advice. I really appreciated the way they communicated and made sure I understood everything. Since receiving the support, I have not noticed anything bad about GiveDirectly’s approach, and everything has been okay. The process has been smooth, and I feel confident in how things are handled. However, I would appreciate more follow-up on how we can best use the funds for long-term benefits."

"When I receive my third transfer, I plan to invest it in farming. If the harvest turns out well, I will reinvest the income in agriculture, focusing on both livestock and crops. I especially want to buy cows because I love milk and want to have my own cows to milk daily. Before I got married, I used to drink milk freely at my father's home, and I could have as much as I wanted at any time. Now, I can’t enjoy milk in the same way because I don’t have my own cows, and going back to my father’s home is not an option since I am married. Owning cows will give me the independence to enjoy milk again while also providing for my family’s needs."

"My primary goal is to use the income from my farm harvest to establish a chicken-rearing business because I believe it has less competition compared to running a shop at home. This venture feels more practical and sustainable, offering a reliable source of income to support my family. The earnings from the chicken business will be used to pay for my children’s school fees, which is my top priority. I am confident in this plan, as it aligns well with my skills and the resources I have available. I believe this approach will not only provide financial stability but also improve the overall quality of life for my family. With optimism, I see this as a clear pathway to creating a better and more secure future for us all."

"Insufficient funds and cash to run our daily expenses are making our lives harder. I am a housewife, and my husband is a water vendor in the village, earning an approximate wage of KES 200 a day. Because we are living in a hard economic time, that cash is hardly enough to run a family of 4. Moreover, getting customers has become hard, unlike before, because many people have ventured into the same business, and thus, the market is flooded. To realize our dream, we intend to repair our motorcycle to use in vending water and increase our income. Give Directly's cash will catapult our dream and I am glad to be among the beneficiaries of the same."

"In the coming year and beyond, I plan to focus on building a better house for my family. I also want to boost my wife’s business, as it plays a crucial role in providing food for our family while I focus on other responsibilities. My current house is made of mud, and the walls have become weak over time. It is risky to stay there, as we fear it could collapse during a heavy downpour or strong winds. Unfortunately, we do not have an alternative at the moment, so we continue to live there. To achieve this goal, I plan to use part of my daily income from my motorbike taxi business, combined with my GiveDirectly income, to buy building materials. This time, I want to build a solid house with stone walls, as stones are easily accessible in our area. Once the house is complete, I will focus on expanding my wife’s business by adding more items and increasing the quantity of existing goods, ensuring she has enough stock to attract more customers."
