In most cases, I am always certain that my rent will always come from Give direct or my business profits, whichever comes first.

"My life is different in that I now have livestock, making it a little easier, because the bulls help me to plough gardens and the cows to generate money when sold. Before, without the bulls, garden work would be done late or take a longer time to complete, and I had no asset to sell when money crisis hits me."

"My life is better now because I was able to buy a piece of land, hire more farm land and buy some seedlings. I now own two cows which I can sell incase of any urgent need for money. I wouldn't have got all these assets if it was not for these transfers. I am so grateful to GiveDirectly."

"My life has changed because I purchased an ox which has enabled me plough in time. Additionally, the construction of an iron roofed house is in progress. I intend to rent out one side and sleep in the other. Before, we shared oxen which could delay my work. I did not have hope of constructing an iron roofed house."
