"There is a very big difference in my life and family now . previous we were just hired to take care of someone's cow for a pay at its maturity upon selling it, with the cash received from give directly we happily own a very big cow for our selves"

"I work as a builder by trade,but lately I have not been able to do my job well because of my advanced age. Due to the protracted drought, I used $34 to purchase food for my family. I then used $10 to clear my daughter's school fee arrears for a tailoring school program she is enrolled in. I also spent $24 to purchase a goat that I hope to raise. I will use the money I make from selling its offspring to purchase a cow in future. I used the remaining sum to make arrangements for my mother's funeral. Give Directly has done so much for me, and I'm incredibly appreciative."

"I bought a cow because I wanted to have some milk for the children"

"I was in the garden harvesting beans and my neighbor came asking if I'd checked my message. I ran to house and found it been sent. I felt very happy. I thought about God's grace since I was sick and now I could get some help and by a cow as well."

"Bought a cow and paid school fees"

"I was sitting at the center resting when I received the money. I was very happy and wished GD the best. I thought about buying a cow."

"Negotiated a plot and deposited some money, bought a cow, used some money to pay labour of builders"

"I bought a cow, some poultry, I also bought a mattress for myself and husband, I used some to go for a scan as I am pregnant."

"I bought a cow, paid school fees for my children, I've also bought a piece of land as well."

"As soon as I get some money, I want to purchase a dairy cow. I decided on this investment strategy since the cow will not only provide milk for sale but also family usage. I estimate that I would need at least 20 liters per day to support my family, and a liter costs $0.5, therefore selling would help me to raise some money to do so. I'll be able to easily meet my family's necessities thanks to this, which will make me about $10 every day."
