My life is different from how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I have been able to expand my dairy farming. Due to this, the income from this project has increased. I will be saving this money and use it to pay for their education.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well by giving all of us financial aid without any discrimination.

I spent part of my second transfer to buy a piece of land in our neighboring village. We settled on this as a family since the land we are currently living in is small for one to carry out some farming practices. Also, I spent some amount to buy some clothes, food and other household necessities. Due to this, everyone in my household dresses well and have three meals a day unlike before when we could have one or two meals a day.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have bought three heifers. I do casual jobs in the village and my wages are not enough to cater fully for our basic needs in the family thus saving or acquiring more assets can't easily happen. Even though I still incur the high cost of daily expenditure on milk, I am so happy and optimistic that this is soon coming to an end. I have hope that when the heifer reproduced I will be in a position to cut the cost of buying milk. I will also be selling the surplus milk to earn an income to pay school fees for my children and to meet other family needs. I expect offspring too that will be my added asset and security for any financial needs arising in my family. I have devoted half of my time on my farm and reduce casual jobs. I am so much thankful for the support we currently have an asset to take pride in as a family that wouldn't have been if it was not for GiveDirectly.

I had a goal of buying a heifer for long since I could not afford a dairy cow. I had been waiting for GiveDirectly's promise ever since I was enrolled to fulfill my goal. On that day very early in the morning, I heard an incoming message on my phone. I checked it and happiness filled my heart immediately when I saw it was from GiveDirectly confirming that I had received money. I knew I would be able to buy the heifer as I had wished to before. I told my spouse and children about the good news and they were so happy too.

I spent my first transfer to buy three heifers, I used to buy milk and it was so costly for me, Buying heifer will enable me to get milk when they have reproduced and the rest of the money I used it to buy food for the family.
