"In the next four months, I m saving on buying a water tank of a capacity of 3000 liters, this would help store rainwater in order to reduce my wife's workload. Water for domestic use is found in water points that are really far away from the homestead. Storing rainwater will make it easy for my wife and for us all.I am planning to give water to my cows at home in order to improve its milk production capacity since they usually walk longer to the watering points and their milk production is lower."

"I spent part of my first transfers to buy two cows. I have never owned any livestock such as goats or cows in my home. I have always wanted to have my own livestock that I could even spend my days taking them out to graze. I was previously employed as a garden boy in a distant homestead, but my job ended. I currently stay at home looking for any available casual jobs in my village that can give me some income to feed my family. My wife is also unemployed. I am grateful to Give Directly that now I own cattle which can keep my days busy as I take them out to graze the whole day. I can also get milk from the cattle. Secondly, I spent my transfers to buy a door for my house. The door to my house broke down and fell a while ago. I have been unable to replace it as I lacked the finances. I am grateful that now we can feel secure in my home with the new door. Finally, I spent my transfers to purchase a solar panel. I bought a solar panel so we could be able to charge our phones here at home. We pay some little money to charge our phones at the local center. I can save this money that we charge our phones with, as we utilize the solar panel."

"My new goal is to start cattle farming, so l am planing to buy one dairy cow as a start."

"I plan to buy a dairy cow. This will provide milk for the family use and hence remove the expense of having to buy it everday."

"My life is really going to be different in the next 6 months, by then I will have cleared my daughter's school fees and I will be having extra money to save.from the savings and the share i will get from our table banking group i will buy dairy cow which soon enough will be producing milk for sale at a nearby centre as a source of extra income."

"We can now plan our activities and future plans well without having to worry about where we will get the funds. Having managed to buy six sheep for rearing, these have become a financial asset for us. Sheep reproduce at a faster rate as compared to cows and keeping them is less costly. We also live close to a forest which is good grazing ground for them. Later on, we plan to sell some and buy a cow and pay school fees with the extra."

"I will have expanded my poultry project and will have bought a cow. I will, therefore, be employed in my own farm tending the cow. I will have stopped looking for casual hard labor jobs. This will allow me to rest as I earn a decent income."

"The biggest difference I have seen so far in my life is that my children now have plenty of food which has resulted from the improved farming methods funded by GiveDirectly's transfer. The additional cow has made land tilling very easy and timely which has seen my farm produce rise much higher. I am happy that my children have had enough and always available food for their consumption."

"The biggest difference that the transfer has brought into my daily life is that I now own some goats to boast of as my own assets, which previously I had none. It was only through GiveDirectly funds that I was able to acquire them, and I am sure of getting good returns from them and even enable me to buy cows through them."

"I wouldn't say there is any biggest difference in my daily life but I believe in future after the cows will have given birth I won't be budgeting for milk thus I'll be able to save the money that I'm currently spending on milk."
