"First of all, I would wish to build a decent house for my family. This is because the family size is growing and the house that I occupy is small. Additionally, I plan on adding another cow for sustainability. To realise these goals, I plan on saving $30 from my monthly salary to accomplish them."

"My goal would be to purchase a dairy cow to cut down on the cost of buying milk daily, which is extremely high. One litre sales at KES 60. To achieve this goal, I plan on saving money every month and also expect my husband too to save some from his business. It might take a long time to realise it but I am optimistic that it shall come to pass."

"They hope they can buy a new place,build a better house and run away from this ailing condition.They hope they can buy a cow which can help sustain their livelihood."

"We are planning on buying land in bunamubi Village found in bududa District which goes for about $1388 an acre. The area is relatively flat, has not been affected by landslides and thus our family will be safer there. Also we are planning on buying more livestock especially a cow which goes for about $277since my husband knows how to keep and maintain animals.Also the remaining money we also planning to reinvest it and purchase coffee as we buy it cheaply and can dry it then sell it off more expensively."

"I am planning to construct a permanent house of 30 ironsheets each worth $267 with each ironsheet costing 8$. Am also planning on buying a cow for about $ 429 which will give my family milk and sell the remaining milk at $ 1 for 2 and a half litres of milk."

"I am a livestock farmer and have desired to boost my farming by purchasing more livestock. I spent $320 to purchase 3 local dairy cows, this is because they are more resistant to harsh weather conditions. Similarly, I bought 2 goats and one sheep for $105, at the moment, I am happy to fulfilling my dream of improving animal keeping. This is my future investment and a reliable source of income that will assist me whenever I faced any financial challenge. With the remaining amount, I bought enough food for the family that we have been using till recently when it was over."

"I currently have two sons in school, one at the university level and the other in secondary school. Paying their school fees has been a difficult task. The transfer from GiveDirectly was such a boost that I used $290 from the second transfer to cover the entire semester for my son in college. At the time, he had not received the student loan he had requested, and I was unsure whether he would receive it in time for him to take his exam. I also used $150 of the remaining funds to purchase a heifer in addition to three cows, with the goal of increasing milk production and, as a result, income to pay household bills and school fees for my two sons in the future. I also purchased a sack of dry maize grains for $60, as well as a bag of rice with the remaining funds that we used for food. I appreciate your assistance."

"Receiving financial aid from GiveDirectly has been of great impact on our lives. I never thought that I would have achieved a lot within a short period because of our financial status. I am a consistent farmer and my husband works as a shepherd. Together, we have a child. When I received my transfer, I thought of purchasing a dairy cow to reduce the cost of buying milk daily, which was extremely expensive because of our little income. Therefore, my husband and I bought two dairy cows worth $340. Additionally, I bought a table and a seat worth $51. Finally, I stocked enough foodstuffs in the house. Words can not express the immense gratitude that I have for receiving the transfer. My life has changed amazingly, hence I am grateful to God and the organization."

"I will use USD 270 to pay school fees for my children who are at school. I also use USD 540 to buy a cow that will provide us with milk which we will be selling some percentage to get money and cater for basic needs. My children will also be able to take milk in the morning before going to school which will help them study happily and perform well in class. I also plan to purchase a plot of land worth USD 1080 elsewhere on which I plan to put a structure and shift my family from a landslide prone area to safer one."

"I will buy a cow so that I can be sellithe milk to get a dairy income, and buy a piece of land to get food from it."
