After learning about the advantages of dairy cows, I intend to get another one this year. We'll have four of them when I buy another cow since the current cow is yet to have a second calf. This will guarantee me a steady supply of milk each year, making it easier for me to pay for my kids' future tuition.

The best concept was to give us cash since it opened our eyes to the different necessities we lacked as we invested in them. Most people who were struggling financially have made improvements to their life in a variety of ways. Some have built nicer homes, some have purchased water tanks to help with the problem of water shortage, and still, others who had nowhere to live have purchased property. This all contributed to a stronger and healthier community. But, in order to prevent the drunken recipients from wasting the money they get, the organization must keep a tight eye on them. If it's possible, they should ask the local chief to keep an eye on these individuals to ensure that everyone is spending the money wisely.

When I received my second payment, a neighbor was selling his recently given-birth dairy cow. I paid $450 because this was the best deal I'd ever seen. It came with a calf as well, and I got to benefit from the milk. I sold three of the six-and-a-half liters it made in a day for a total of $1.5, generating more revenue for my family, and we consumed the other three. We stopped milking it because it is expectant for the second calf, but I can't wait to get milk again. I spent the remaining $70 on a variety of items that will last us for a while. I spent the remaining $70 on a variety of oodf items that will last us for a while. I run a barbershop, but the money was not enough to support us. We are thankful that we are no longer in a struggle to meet our demands, particularly the cost of our four children's education.

I felt so happy the moment I received money from GiveDirectly. I felt so much happy and I started jumping up and down. I was with some of my family members where we were attending a family meeting and it was an interesting situation when almost all of us in that meeting received money. What was even more interesting is that we had gathered as family to make some contributions for one of our kin who was planning to start college studies. We were still wondering how we would be able to get the money to contribute and this made it quite easy for us when we all received the money

The biggest difference in my daily life is the cow that I bought and which has supplied us with enough milk already. We get up to 4 litres per day and this is more than enough for consumption as we sell the surplus. It has helped us a great deal especially during these tough economic times. I am a father of five and this too will enable me to be better equipped in paying their school fees especially when they reach their secondary school level.

I spent KES 45000 to buy a dairy cow. We had for a long time gone without one and having lost one that we had to a strange disease. I normally rely on motorcycle riding to make income that supports my family and I also run a Berber shop that helps me raise income to support my family but the amount of income that I receive would not allow me make enough income to buy a dairy cow or invest in anything that requires huge sum of money. The income would help me buy food and other basic household needs but I would be left with very little or nothing to save.
