"Incase I get this cash transfer, I hope to buy cows for myself and my Son to rear , so we can get milk for sale and also to sell the cows in future at profit. To renovate my house because water enters most times. I also plan to start a retail shop for survival."

"This cash means alot to me because it has brought me hope and if i get the cash, i plan to buy a piece of land at 3million, build a kitchen 1million, 1 cow 1,700,000/=, bedding 300,000/=, chairs for their home 500,000/=, food 500,000/= This will help me and my family to develop and improve on our standard of living."

"Am planning on buying on two cows which each goes for about $344 and thus am planning on spending about $886 in total."

"I am planning on topping up capital for my grand daughter irene in bubiita who has a shop. When her business increases, I will be able to also be sure that i get some food to eat and survive. Also I will buy 2 cows at $1142 that my grand daughter irene will help grazze."

"I have a new dream that I would wish to accomplish which is to own livestock like goats and cows. I believe that these are the long-term investment that one can talk about considering that they have numerous benefits. I however have the desire to have them so that once they increase in number, I can be able to pay fees for my children especially once they join colleges. Therefore having them would mean that I will not have to strain on raising the fees for all my children throughout their stay in school."

"When I was promised an unconditional transfer from GiveDirectly, it filled my heart with joy and happiness. This is because I am expecting my first child and therefore I knew that the cash would be of great impact to our young family. My husband works at the township as a laundry caretaker and I am a consistent farmer. Upon receiving the second transfer, my husband and I agreed to buy a dairy cow worth $280 to cut down on the cost of buying milk, especially once I put it to bed. I had a cow before but unfortunately, it died and I did not have money to replace it. I thereafter bought iron sheets with the remaining amount to replace the roof of my house which was old. I am so grateful for the support that has lifted my living standards and brought happiness to my marriage."

"Incase I get this cash transfer I plan to buy a peice of land and construct inorder to move my family in a safe place. I hope to buy a cow , so I can rear to give birth am sure I can make profit in future."

"Incase I get this cash transfer, I hope to buy a peice of land , construct and move my whole family to a safer place . I hope to buy a cow and also to start a small business of a Restaurant , I believe we can manage it because we are good cooks."

"I would like to spend $700 of these transfers to buy two quality-grade cows for milk production. I understand that to maintain milk production in cows, they need to have a constant source of feed. I will therefore spend $300 on planting fodder crops on the 1-acre piece of land that I currently have. This investment would be a lifetime one because apart from the milk that I will be selling there will also be manure from my cowshed and this will be earning me at least $50 quarterly."

"I have subdivided my farm among my 4 sons as culture demands leaving just an acre for my use. This has affected farming activities because now I have a small portion left. I do not have surplus milk for sale because I had to reduce the number of cows I had from 12 to 2. This has subjected my family to a financial crisis that I have never seen since I was born. At my age, I cannot do casual jobs like young people and I have to adapt to the new norm."
