"I plan to make savings together with my family members and the amount that we will get will go into buying a cow that I know will give birth in the future and we will benefit by getting milk from the animal. Apart from that I know I will make money by selling out the calves once it starts giving birth. The cash will go a long way in sustaining the family in the future."

"I spent KES 15000 in buying a dairy cow and used KES 35000 to lease land for about two years. I then used the remaining KES 10,000 to buy my children clothes together with food and household goods."

"My new goal is to buy a dairy cow. There is a shortage of milk in our village, therefore I believe buying a dairy cow is a big investment. This will help me settle bills and meet my daily needs that I may not have been able to meet without the surplus income. It will also help me reduce expenditure since I will not be buying milk any more."

"Since I haven't fully recovered after hurting my leg looking after my cow some months ago and with the current medication am on, I am planning to keep on with till I fully get well."

"My life is different in that, I have been relieved from hard labor that I used to do, weeding people's gardens to get money, I also own a cow that is about to produce and I have savings that I'm to spend later for my basic needs, I couldn't have have got all these had I not received money from Give Directly."

"I had one dairy cow that really assisted us as a family to get some milk for consumption within the household while we sold the extra milk produced. It is so unfortunate that this cow died, leaving our family hungry and with reduced income. In the next four months I want to ensure that I save at least KES 1000 per month. This is in an effort to buy another dairy cow for the family."

"I spent UGX600,000 to purchase a cow and I spent UGX60,000 to purchase school uniforms for my children. I spent UGX200,000 to prepare for my grand son's funeral arrangements. I spent UGX200,000 to purchase food for my family and the remaining money was spent on my treatment."

"I spent my second transfer on completing payment of land that I had earlier on purchased but not completed payment. I needed this land as a form expansion. I then used part of my second transfer to buy a cow. This will be a form of saving and investment."

"My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that I have a dairy cow unlike before where I could struggle so much to look for milk and times it was very costly for me and my children could go without taking tea in the morning. But right now I am so happy because we have milk at home."

"My new goal in life for the next four months is to renovate my house which is currently not in a good condition. I will spend my subsequent transfers on buying bags of cement and building sand to plaster my house. It will thus be more stable and nice to look at. As a result, it will look more permanent as compared to the old one which needed to be smeared with cow dung every now and then."
