"As a farmer, I have been longing to own a pair of oxen but due to financial difficulties,  I could not afford to buy them. Therefore having them in my compound makes the biggest difference. I am now positive that I will be getting plenty of harvests simply because the pair take a few days to plug an acre compared to when I used to do the exercise by myself. Currently, I will no longer spend anything in order to cultivate. Also, I will be hiring them to my neighbors at fee and generate an income."

"I now have a bigger house as compared to the one I used to live in before thanks to GiveDirectly. My kitchen was leaking and it was grass thatched and very small. Masons are now finalizing on the last details of the house and we shall be moving in in no time. The heifer I bought is a future investment for my milk for my family. I will always be grateful to GiveDirectly."
