"In the approaching months, my primary objective is to provide financial support to my wife by covering her school fees. The culmination of her two-year course holds the promise of substantial benefits for our family. I eagerly anticipate witnessing her undertake her examinations and acquire the essential certifications to enhance her employment prospects. I express profound gratitude for the invaluable assistance provided by the transfers, which not only facilitated my college completion but also enabled me to procure sustenance for my young family and invest in the acquisition of two cows."

"I WAS AT HOME DOING HOUSE CHORES, WHEN I SAW A MESSAGE I FELT SO OVER JOYED. THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT OF WAS GETTING A COW"

"Now that I have a good start with some goats, my big goal is to add a cow to my little animal family. I want to grow my herd of livestock because it means more possibilities for me and my family. A cow can provide us with milk and even more income opportunities. With hard work and the support I got from GiveDirectly, I'm looking forward to making this dream a reality and creating a better future for us all."

"I pay my grandchild's school fees of $45 because her mother used to provide for us, and I appreciate the investment in education. In our family of 10, which includes five grandchildren, my husband, and my two children, life took a turn when my husband retired from his carpentry job in Mombasa. With a vision for sustainability, I invested $160 in purchasing a cow, anticipating it to multiply and provide a source of income. Despite having goats, I chose not to buy more. Running a broom-selling business was my previous endeavor, but illness forced me to step away. Now, relying on my daughter, a hairdresser, and my two sons, who work as boda-boda riders in Kilifi, our family's financial support hinges on their efforts. Facing a water problem, I used the remainder of the money received from GiveDirectly to connect water pipes, ending our reliance on borrowed water from neighbors. Unfortunately, I would not help myself to fetch water because of my health challenge.."

"I AM GOING TO BUY A COW BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE TAKING MILK"

"Avery big difference now, I have a cow that we millk something we didn't have before. My family is extremely happy"

"One of my key plans is to establish a dairy cow farm, which I believe will not only serve as a source of income but also provide essential proteins for my family. Additionally, I am counting on the goats I have recently purchased to play an important role in my strategy; as they multiply, I intend to sell or exchange them for cows, further expanding my agricultural pursuits. Despite the financial challenges I've faced, I am determined to rely on my modest income to achieve these goals. In the past, my limited resources were primarily directed towards addressing the immediate needs of my family, making it difficult to invest in ventures with long-term benefits. However, I am optimistic that with careful planning and dedication, I can overcome these obstacles and work towards realizing my aspirations."

"I need a dairy cow. We're getting on in years, and with our newly fenced farm, I believe we can provide a good home for the cow. Having a cow will not only give us fresh milk for our use but also allow us to sell extra milk to meet our daily needs for my husband, i, and our two grandchildren. Imagine waking up in the morning and having fresh milk from our cow. It would make a big difference in our daily life. The dream of owning a dairy cow represents more than just an addition to our farm; it symbolizes hope, opportunity, and a pathway to a more stable and fulfilling life for our family."

"I was at home, then someone told me that they had sent the money and I immediately checked. I thought of buying a diary cow for my self"

"I was at home then I heard from a neighbour attesting to have recieved the money and immediately went to check for my account and there was a message. I immediately thought of buying a cow"
