"For a while now, I have had the plans to Invest in my farm especially by ensuring that I buy a couple of farm animals. I decided that I will be saving a portion of the money that I keep receiving so that I could eventually have enough to buy a couple of goats and poultry since purchasing cows is costly.Apart from that, I also intend to finish up with renovating my house because after I started receiving the transfers I began fixing it especially the roof since the iron sheets were old and worn out."

"It is a great feeling to know that I was able to build two new houses and purchase a lactating cow that has since provided enough milk for my family. I currently have a nineth-grade son whose school fees are proving difficult to pay. Since I was previously reliant on farming, I hope to increase the acreage under cultivation and ensure an increase in production that can be sold to pay my children's school fees."

"I run a maize-selling business that continues to grow with each additional funding. When I received the second transfer, I spent $200 to replenish the stock that was slowly depleting. As a result, my profit margin has increased because I have never run out of stock since then. I also spent $300 on a heifer that I believe will increase milk production to supplement the first transfer's purchased cow. In addition, I spent the remaining funds on food shopping for my family of six."

"In the coming year, I hope to save enough money to purchase another lactating cow. The cost of milk is currently high, and producing enough to sell is a good source of income that I may be able to generate by acquiring a lactating cow. This will also allow them to alternate breeding seasons, ensuring a steady supply of milk for my family. In the long run, I intend to sell the offspring to fund the purchase of another piece of land, as we are currently living on my parents' piece of land."

"I had one lactating cow that I purchased with a portion of the first transfer and needed another in the field to keep her company. I spent $150 on a bullock after receiving the second transfer, which I intend to fatten and sell in order to purchase another good lactating breed in the future. In addition, I paid $300 to a neighbor who was selling a plot of land. Since my family of three had been living on a small plot of land, I thought it would be a good idea to keep buying plots of land on which I hope to soon begin the construction of rental houses and rent them out as an additional source of income in the future. I used the remaining $100 to buy food for my family, which we ate for nearly a month before replenishing."

"As our economic backbone, I am currently providing strong support to farming in order to ensure the mass production of short-season crops such as beans, vegetables, and Irish potatoes. These are not only for our own consumption, but we will also sell the surplus to generate income. In the long run, I believe the savings from farming activities will be useful in purchasing a lactating cow to provide an immediate solution to my family of four's high milk costs."

"I am a farmer and one of my dreams was to have cows to help with cultivating the land. With my first transfer, I spared some money and bought one cow then added another one for $200 with the second transfer. I have been training them on the farm and soon they will be a source of income. My four children had been sent home for school fees arrears of $150, thus I cleared it for them to be allowed to continue with their studies. I also acquired a solar panel for $10 to light up the house at night. The remaining amount of $80, I used to buy corn flour and other foodstuffs that were missing in the house."

"For the longest time, I had been buying milk from my neighbors because I couldn't afford to buy a dairy cow from the little money that I earn from selling farm produce for it has only be enough to support my family (wife and two children) and my parents. When I received my second transfer, I thought it was a wise decision to buy a dairy cow worth $150. In the next one year I will no longer be buying from my neighbors and I will be milking from my own. I also spend $150 to build a temporary kitchen that got us out of danger for we had been cooking from the main house. I spend the balance to buy vegetable seedlings which I planted and got some good harvest last month. I am so grateful for the support."

"I intend on investing on my farm this year by buying a couple of farm animals. Ideally, I would have loved to buy a couple of cows, but unfortunately they are quite expensive in the market, and with the money I receive, I cannot afford one. Therefore, I came up with a plan that I would purchase goats, and then eventually, when I had enough, I would go ahead and sell them so that I could buy livestock. I have so far managed to buy four goats, which I'm quite happy about. Apart from that, I will also ensure that I look into your tuition for the family, especially since we're experiencing quite severe climate changes that do not support any farming."

"In a family of six, I am the sole breadwinner. Unfortunately, I do not have a consistent source of income other than caring for my three cows and occasionally working a casual job to supplement my family's needs. The most recent transfer was made when I was in financial difficulty. We never had enough food as a family the previous two days. With my most recent transfer, I spent $20 on food and the rest on chicken feed because I own a poultry farm. Furthermore, we rely on rainfed agriculture, which has struggled in recent years due to prolonged drought. With the transfer, I managed to provide for my six-member family, which gave me a sense of relief. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for their prompt assistance."
