Since I depend on goat farming, I need to plant some grass. Will spend the first transfer of $200 to fence my two acre piece of land. $100 is enough to plant grass. The grass can also be sold to others. It will provide me with an extra source of income. Seeds collected from the grass are sold and can fetch me some additional money. Once the other transfer is sent, I plan to buy a cow. A cow goes for about $300. The cow will feed on the grass and also multiply. I will be able to get more milk for tea or even to sell. I have children in school, plan to use the rest of the transfer on their education. They are in college, secondary and primary. The transfer will be of immense importance, I'm really grateful to Givedirectly.

I depend on goats, it's been my main source of income and happiness. I'm able to milk them in the morning and make tea. I can also sell to pay fees or during emergencies for medication. Goats are my livelihood and it's always been my source of happiness.

I'm a long term goat farmer. I've depended on them all my life. The biggest challenge is livestock diseases. There are no doctors nearby to assist during outbreaks. I'm always worried I can lose all my goats at once. In the last one year I've lost over sixty goats. This has affected my income stream, leading to difficulty in buying food or supporting my children's education. It's also a challenge keeping goats due to insecurity associated with livestock theft predominant in our locality. I can lose goats overnight, it keeps me worried all the time.
