"In the next six months, I will have started a shop in a nearby scemter.I will also have bought acow by selling the sheep i have and buy a dairy cow."

"My life currently is different since I have been able to buy a cow."

"The second transfer which I received recently from Give Directly, I spent KES 10000 to buy maize for consumption, KES 5000 on other foodstuff and am left with KES 35000 which am planning to spend on buying a cow."

"For the next four months of my life, I have a goal of adding more cow so that they become three and sell them to raise money for purchasing a motorcycle."

"I have saved the second transfer that GiveDirectly sent me. We plan to buy a piece of land. We are currently squeezed in our ancestral land and we feel we need some space to plant fodder for our 2 cows ( had 1 initially, bought 1 with first GD funds). Thank you for the funds."

"I kept a larger portion of my transfer as savings hoping to pay school fees for my chilld and the two relatives which has been a burden. The remaining amount went on constructing an animal shed for my cow."

"This money means alot to me and my family, my children will now be able to go to school without difficulties and I will buy a cow so that I didn't keep on buying milk. "

"I spent my transfer on buying a cow worth 22000 KES because it will give birth and it will give me milk hence I can sell milk and get money to support my family. I also bought the solar panel for lightning because it is less costly than buying paraffin daily. I also bought television hence I can hear and see the daily news."

"The biggest difference in my life is that now I have my own cow. I never knew that one day I would buy a high breed cow which will me feed my family and also get some income from the sale of milk."

"When I received my second transfer, I used 3,000ugx for transport, I paid a medical bill of 30,000ugx, I bought a cow worth 700,000ugx to help in milk production for the family. I then paid a debt of 400,000ugx that I had borrowed for treating my spouse. I used 100,000ugx for ploughing and the balance of 400,000ugx, I used for paying tuition. "
