"My life is currently different from before because I managed to buy a chaff cutter, meaning my life became easier in making feeds for my cows. My daily income has also increased due to increase in productivity of milk."

"My new goal is that I am planning to buy one more cow for my family. I used the first transfer to buy one cow and I am planning to buy an additional one to boost milk production for my family.This is because milk is a stable food in my community."

"Receiving this money means adding more livestock to my current herd of about 5 cows and several goats. This is because livestock is a very lucrative business in my village, animals do very well here compared to crops due to the unpredictable weather and also fetch very good prices at the market. I also get products such as milk from the animals which am able to sell and earn extra income to meet my family's needs of food and education with ease."

"Upon receiving my first transfer I bought building materials to help me build a kitchen that during the night acts as a room for my sons. I also bought a new set of sofas. Now my visitors can comfortably sit on when they visit me at home unlike before my visitors could sit on stools and water jerricans. The remaining amount I bought two cows and escorted them to my father-in-law as bridal price for my wife."

"I used my second transfer in buying a donkey which I currently use for commercial transport of commodities to those that are going to the market or drawing for villagers water from the far off rivers and streams. I also bought cows that will eventually give birth and increase my livestock ownership and produce milk both for family use and surplus for sale. The remaining part of the money I used in buying my family members clothes and food."

"When i receive this money, i will buy cows that will help in farming, both ploughing and Diary."

"My life is now different in that I can keep my children in school. I had no means to pay for their school fees. I can now keep them in school and be able to pay for their school fees in future, with the proceeds from milk that I will receive from the cow that I will purchase with the transfers. I am grateful to Give Directly."

"My life is now different since i now own a dairy cow hence continuous milk supply for my family something which was a dream in the past, before I received the transfer, I used to spend most of my money to buy milk from my neighbor which I can now save and use in educating my children."

"I had an ear problem which needed an operation the time I received my first transfers from GiveDirectly and I decided to use part of it for my treatment. I had sold all the cows I had when my children were still in school in order to use the money in paying their school fees. Due to this, I spent the remaining amount to buy two calves to act as assets which will act as a permanent mark of GiveDirectly and after they have increased in number, I will share them to my grandchildren and tell them about this help I received from GD."

"I have always wanted to have a good grade dairy cow to rear, Right now I have planted enough feeds and I am planning to get one soon.Once I have the cow, I know I will have enougn milk production for us to use and sell some to my neighbours."
