"Since they multiply quickly and I wouldn't have to worry about getting stolen by cattle rustlers, I've always preferred raising goats rather than cows. In addition, selling goats is simple because it's lot simpler to find a buyer for them than it is for cows. I occasionally sold some of my goats to help pay for food for my family due to the ongoing drought in my area. Their population had decreased as a result of this. Currently, I'm pleased that the transfer allowed me to add two goats to my herd, bringing their total to 20. I paid $ 9 for them. Aside from that, I spent $8 on the purchase and delivery of 90 kg of corn for our consumption and kept the rest so I could use it to buy veggies. This maize will last us for a few weeks and I would not have to worry about where I would get the money to spend on food."

"My objective for the upcoming year and beyond is to make significant investments in livestock. To begin, I plan to purchase livestock, particularly goats. After a certain period, I will sell a portion of the goats once they have reproduced and multiplied. Then, I intend to acquire bulls and dairy cows. The bulls will be utilized for plowing my farm during the planting season, and I can also generate income by offering their services to plow other farmers' lands. Furthermore, the dairy cows will serve as an additional source of revenue through the sale of milk to the local community. All of these endeavors are aimed at ensuring my financial independence and providing for the needs of my family."

"I have bought a cow that will hepl me in coming days, Even thought I am old that cow will help me to get what to eat and get other things for my daily life"

"I have a strong desire to increase my investments in cows and chickens. I am already involved in these ventures, but I would love to expand my investment further in order to save money for my children's future, specifically to cover their secondary education fees. By investing more in these areas, I hope to secure the financial resources necessary to support my children's educational journey."

"My hope is to witness my children successfully complete their education. As a means of generating income to cover their school fees, I have traditionally invested in cows. However, I aspire to expand my investments in cows in order to provide better financial support for my family."

"I spent my most recent transfer Livestock (buying a cow) and buying land. I do that because in our family we live by agriculture especially growing of crops so that I bought a land for cultivating and cow will facilitate us on with fertiliser."

"When i get the cash transfer,i will buy land in Budadiribtown council worth 600 dollars.On the land, i will build lock ups for business and where my family can be safe. I want to buy a cow with 200 dollars, which will be a source of income and also very able to sustain my children in school."

"As I said I am the sole breadwinner and this puts alot of pressure on me with my mobile business. My salon business is a good one but it can only fetch so much when I am only hired by those who know my skills. Getting a station to work from with increase those that seek my services and thats why I am saving with the aim of putting up a small salon for my business by December. I am also buying goats because I want to afford to buy a cow. I will eventually sell the goats kids and use the money to buy a cow."

"What brought me joy was that I was able to sold a cow which I was taking care of that belonged to one of the neighbors in the village and got profit of $162, and used it to start the building process of my four roomed house though at a stand still due to lack of finances now."

"I had started building a house using the first transfer, but unfortunately I did not manage to complete it, so when the second transfer was received, I proceeded to complete the house. I used $200 for all the expenses, which included the installation of ceiling boards and wall painting. For a moment, I flashed back the memories of living in that old grass thatched single-roomed house, and I felt so privileged; my time to marry was to now be in a beautiful two-bedroom house, which was an impossible thing, but this was soon made possible by GiveDirectly transfers. Secondly, I purchased two cows, a male and a female, for $200 and $100, respectively. This will help me as I plan on having a family in that when they arrive, they will have something to do and earn some money from it,like selling milk. Also, the male one will come in handy in the future, when I will sell it at a good price and make good money. Finally, I had to pay a debt from my high school, which was $50, to get my certificate so I could proceed with my further education. I have been using my results slip to look for jobs, and now most jobs are asking for the certificate, which I had to go for."
