"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now a proud owner of goats. I have been longing to keep them for so many years but they were very expensive. Opted in buying them because they reproduce twice a year and offsprings mature very fast compared to other domestic animals. My hope is that when they multiply in number, I will start a business of selling the matured offsprings to the nearby markets and generate an income. I am positive that the business will grow fast since it does well in my region. I also believe that will no longer strain in meeting my family's needs as I used to do for all those years,"

"I spent part of my diets transfer on buying some building materials such as several building poles, iron sheets, nails and timber.

This was to replace the old mats that I have been using as beddings. With the reming amount of money, I bought enough foodstuffs for my family."

With the remaing amount of money, I bought enough foodstuffs for my family."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now hopeful and happier after purchasing the livestock that I am now keeping in my homestead. I have been yearning to own them for years but I could not afford them since they were very costly. I settled in purchasing them because with the pair of oxen they would be of great help in my agricultural activities. I will o longer have to hire people to plough my farm any more, instead, I will save the money and cater to some other household expenses. Also, I will be hiring the pair to my neighbours and generate an income. In addition, with the dairy cow, I will be getting plenty milk for free, whereby half of it will be for my family consumption and the remaining litres I will supply it to the nearest trading centres and get an income as well. I am positive that this will really uplift my living standard and I will no longer be straining in meeting my family needs like before."

I also paid some hospital bills for my spouse who has been unwell for quite a long time. I then saved the remaining amount of money in my bank account so that in case I have an emergency I can timely settle it."

"It was around seven in the morning when I was heading to the farm then I saw my neighbors dancing and celebrating mentioning GiveDirectly. Which was indicating that was good news.
