"My new goals for my life for the next four months is to buy a dairy cow. I buy milk now and it is so costly for me and because I have children in school I find it hard. When I will have bought a dairy cow, I will be in a position to save the money that I could have used to buy milk to meet other additional family basic needs and even to pay school fees for my grandchildren."

"When Givedirectly visisted us for the first time, the house we are currently staying in had stayed unfinished for quite a while. I was able to do the interior finishing of the house and right niw it looks great. Its moee comfortable living in it. I also bought a dairy cow from the savings that I had kept from the transfer that I received. We are now able to pay school fees for our son comfortably without having to struggle."

"My new goals for the next four months is to buy a dairy cow. I usually buy milk and its so costly for me and sometimes I could even miss at my neighbor's house and my children could go to school without taking tea. When I have bought a dairy cow I will be in a position to save some money to pay school fees for my children and even meet the basic needs of my family."

"I spent my second transfer to pay school fees, paid a debt, bought a cow and saved the balance for any eventuality. "

"My life is different in that I now own two cows and three goats which will produce in the near future hence my family will have milk to take. I'm also able to afford a balanced diet for my family. Unlike before, I had to move around every morning to look for causal garden work so as to get some money to buy food for my children but now I have a small retail business that earns me income I use to cater for my household needs. Thank you GD."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to provide quality education for my daughter who just joined form one this year. I feel that she is my light at the end of the tunnel. When she finishes school and gets employment, she will be able to take care of me in my old age. Secondly, I plan to finish roofing my house because its open on side and rain pours directly into the house. Thirdly, I would like to buy goats because they are easier to rear compared to cows and finally, I will buy oxen and an ox plough to aid me in farming so I can get more produce."

"I am planning to buy a cow of our own. The cows that we are currently rearing belongs to a neighbor. I want to rear my own cow."

"My ambition has been owning at least two dairy cows but due to lack of money, my dream has never materialized. Receiving this money will mean achieving this dream. The milk from these cows will be distributed to Bamba dairy center to earn me income. The profit from this business will help me paying school fees for my grandchildren and also sustaining other family basic needs."

"I spent my second cash transfer to purchase a cow worth UGX900,000 and clothes worth UGX50,000. I also spent UGX500,000 to hire land for farming. I also bought food worth UGX100,000."

"On a normal day,I set out at 7:00am to take the cows for grazing until 11:00am when my father takes over.I then proceed to the farm upto 4:00pm to do cultivation before cycling to the pond to fetch water.By 6:00pm,I take a rest and listen to music as I cool off from the scorching effects of the sun.Therefore the happiest part of my day is usually in the evening not only because of the music and relaxation,but I also get updates on current affairs from the radio."
