My life is different from how it was in that, I was able to achieve some of the goals that seemed impossible. I now sit in decent seats. I also have a cow. I feel good because I am now at per with some of the village members. Among the greatest achievements I have accomplished, owning a cow is my biggest achievement

In my opinion, GiveDirectly's project of giving out unconditional transfers was the best idea. The project has since uplifted our living standards. Most of us were able to achieve most of their goals. It was a huge amount, therefore, most of us were able to do something significant. The best thing about this money is that it was directly sent to us. All the money was able to reach us.

I spent part of my transfer to purchase a dairy cow. Our culture values livestock keeping especially the dairy cows. It is always believed that cows can change someone's social status since it has numerous economic benefits. Because we now have a cow, we no longer spend money on buying milk. We instead sell milk and earn extra income which helps us in catering to our daily needs. Apart from that, I also bought hybrid seeds because it was a planting season and I had to have everything ready. I finally bought seats and food during the last festive season.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I no longer buy milk I can now save the amount I could have use to buy milk to meet other basic household.

The moment I received my money I felt so happy because I knew I would be able to buy a dairy cow and save the amount that I would have used to buy milk to meet other basic needs.

I spend my first transfer on buying a dairy cow, I used to buy milk and it was costly for me, and the remaining amount I bought food for the family and paid school fees.
