"When i received the second transfer, I used 30000 KES from it to pay deposit for a plot of land on which I will construct my new house since I had no other land to move to. I then used 15000 KES to buy a cow, anticipating to get milk soon when it delivers. The balance was spent on foodstuffs since my stock of food had been depleted."

"When I received tye second transfer, I used 25000 KES from it to buy 2 cows that my husband used to pay my dowry since we have stayed for long without dowry and my parents had started asking about it.The rest of the balance was spent on buying building materials which I used to build a new house for my family."

"Receiving this transfers mean a lot to me, I see myself buying a cow, ploughing a piece of land and generally buying items that I lacked before. "

"I spent the larger part of my second transfer on buying a dairy cow hence I feel happy since I have got a dairy cow that I had been admiring for a longer time.I paid school fees for my four children who are in primary and high school respectively . I bought building materials such as sand since I am planning to build a semi -permanent house."

"I spent the larger part of my second transfer on paying school fees for my four children who are in high school . I am soo happy that GiveDirectly has made me disapprove my community members who had undermined me that as a casual laborer I could not furtheren my children's education.I bought school uniform for my children and a dairy cow. I also bought one sack of maize to feed on."

"I spent my second transfer on buying a dairy cow which now produce milk both for domestic and commercial purpose hence income to feed and provide for m family. The remaining cash I spent on buying steel door and windows to fix at my house."

"The cash transfer will enable me build a house because I do not currently have one. I am embarrassed in the village because I feel a substandard person without a house. My family will now have a safe shelter and feel dignified. I further plan to buy two cows for domestication which is a saving for me and a livelihood as well which I will use in future to educate my children."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am able to cultivate on my own land without spending money on rent so I will use the money I have been using for rent on something else. I have also been able to buy a cow so that I can be able to take some milk when it gives birth"

"My happiest part of the day is in the evening when I come back from work and I find that my cows are we'll grazed and really satisfied."

"I was very happy because now I know my life is going to change a bit. I have been praying and planning to cement my house but I didn't have the money to do. Now that Give Directly has come to my rescue, I will cement my house and buy a cow atleast for milk which I can as well sell and get some returns. These two for now are my first priority."
