"I am planning to purchase a cow. This will provide me with milk which I can be able to use at home as well as sell for the purpose of generating income for my household."

"I mainly deal with livestock;either grazing them or buying them for the sake of business.I feel happy when I receive a call asking me to go and check out goats which are for sale.If not that,I am happy looking after goats and cows around my compound since they are my source of income."

"GiveDirectly has enabled me to purchase a cow. I have been much stressed on whom to get milk from to feed my children. Finding a farmer who would be willing to sell milk to me was difficult. This is because they prefer delivering it to the processing plant at higher prices. Currently, I milk my own and used it for consumption in my house and then sell that remain to the processing plant."

"The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I now own a cow unlike before. We formed a merry go round group in our village after receiving our first transfers and it is through the money I was given from the group that I was able to acquire this cow. I was not able to own one before because the little money I get from doing any available work was enough for me to gather for my family needs. Owning this cow has brought a lot of changes in my daily life since I no longer buy milk like I used to do before. I have also been able to save the little amount of money I get through the sale of milk and use them to pay school fees for my daughter."

"I spent the transfers on buying a cow KES 26000.paid water bill at KES 7000. I then used the rest to build a new house."

"In the next six months, I would expect to have to buy a quality dairy cow so that when it starts lactating I got to sell milk. This will be a reliable source of income. This will enable me not to engage in heavy casual work and concentrate on dairy farming which I love the most."

"My new goal is to buy a cow. This is because from it I will reduce my daily expenses on buying milk when it gives birth and be able to sell its offsprings to raise money to pay school fees and solve other family needs."

"Receiving this money means, I shall be able to plaster and put cement on the floor of my ironroofed house. I shall also buy cows for my family using the money."

"If I had never recieved the transfer, I would not be in position to build my separate house and would still be sharing a house with my cowives which is inconveniencing."

"I have spent my second transfer on a cow worth Ugx560000 and goats worth Ugx180000. I also start up a shop with a capital of Ugx300000 and paid bride price of Ugx593000."
