"This year has me really thrilled because I want to establish a business where I can sell motorbike spare parts. To do this, I'll be saving up the money from each transfer. Additionally, I want to invest the money by purchasing goats and chickens to help me financially in the future. Last but not least, as it has been a constant struggle for my family and I, nutrition is unquestionably a priority."

"My main objective for the money I would receive this year is to start a chicken farming business that will help me provide for my family. Additionally, I intend to utilize this money to assist my parents in covering the tuition costs for my eight siblings. Since they already struggle to make ends meet, they will require financial assistance"

"This year, paying my four children's tuition is my top priority because I want them to continue their education uninterrupted. I therefore intend to pay off whatever debt I may have with their schools with the money I will receive this year. In addition, I want to spend the money on food since the drought makes it difficult for my family and I to get enough to eat. Finally, I also hope that the money will enable me to invest in a couple of goats."

"This year, I want to use the money to buy myself a few farm animals as an investment in my future. I want to make investments in goats and chickens so that someday they can help me out financially when the program is through. Nutrition is unquestionably my second concern, as we are currently undergoing a famine that has caused us to starve . Since my health has been declining over the years, I also intend to use the money to take care of myself."

"I want to buy myself a few farm animals, ideally goats, with a significant amount of the transfers I will receive. In the future, if I have financial difficulties, I hope that my investment in a few goats will be able to assist me. As a result of the bad harvest brought on by the drought, I also want to spend the money for food because it is a constant issue for us."

"I have goals for this year. I'm hoping that the money I'll get over the coming months will allow me to finish building my house. I'll use the funds to purchase further building supplies, including bricks, lumber, and any other tools I'll require. Additionally, I will use some of the funds to purchase food because, as I previously indicated, the drought makes it a constant hardship for us."

"As I previously stated, my objective for this year is to invest in my farm by purchasing a few farm animals, especially goats and chickens because they are less expensive. Due to the ongoing difficulty with nutrition, I also plan to utilize the funds for it."

"In my opinion, what GiveDirectly does well in this program is that we receive the transfers in lumpsum amounts. This helps in planning as one is in a position to do something huge as compared to when the transfers are given in small instalments. Another thing that GiveDirectly does well is that the unlearned recipients are taught how to use mpesa. This has reduced the number of theft cases in the community as most of us managed to change our pins to a more secure code. To avoid household conflict, what needs to be done differently is enrolling all the individuals in the household. During enrollment, those individuals who did not have responsibilities by then were left out of the program yet these are the same people who steal from their old and vulnerable parents. Another thing that needs to be done differently is enrolling all the communities in a specific village for uniformity purposes and this will prevent too many complaints coming from the communities that are left out during the registration to the programs."

"I intend to start a clothing business. My friend called and asked if I would help him sell his clothes so that I could start my own clothing store a year later. After I have accumulated some savings from selling his clothes."

"The main challenge we are facing is that we don't have enough land for agriculture and because of that when we grow food crops we don't produce enough, hence the insufficient food at home. It's a challenge because we don't have any other alternative means like salary job that gives us money so that we can buy food stuffs at the market. We often eat one meal per day like 4 days a week. You understand that it's not easy. The other challenge is that we don't have any livestocks being small or cattle so that we can get manure to use in our agriculture activities. When you have livestocks at least you have a support because when you have a emergency of needing money, you can sell it and get the money to resolve the problem but for our case we don't have any and that is where the big issue is."
