"The biggest difference in my daily life is the investments that we made. We would not have bought for example the dairy cow since the amount of money that we normally get is barely enough to buy food for family. We feel so much indebted to GiveDirectly for enabling us realize dreams that would have continued to remain as just dreams had we not received money from GiveDirectly."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the dairy cow that I bought. I bought a cow that is already producing milk and I no longer stress myself on where to get money to buy milk . I am a father of one and this has helped me a lot in making sure that I get enough milk supply for consumption and resale of the surplus."

"The biggest difference in my life today is that I was able to purchase a dairy cow with the unconditional transfer, things have been tough on my side due to low income and the raising cost of living. I am now able to save up money that I used to spend on milk daily. Additionally, I was able to stock up on enough maize. I am contented that I was able to achieve my dream in a short period, I am so grateful for the support that uplifted our lives amazingly."

"I am happy and contented that I was able to purchase a dairy cow with the support that I received. This would mean that we will have enough milk production for our consumption and also earn an extra income from selling the milk. Secondly, I started a poultry project and I am optimistic that it would grow to a large scale with proper management. I am so grateful for the support that brought a positive change into our lives."

"It was around 5 pm I was doing my chores at home. When I was done I decided to check my phone, Little did I know there was a message from GiveDirectly. The message confirmed that I have received money from GiveDirectly. I felt so happy because I have never received such an amount of money before. My family members celebrated with a lot of joy. It was one of the happiest days of our lives. I went to withdraw part of the money to purchase some food and household items that we were lacking. I withdraw the rest later and purchased a dairy cow. This was the priority since I used to buy milk daily. I am so grateful for the support because GiveDirectly has changed our living standards."

"Yes I have a New goals that I never had befor, my new goal is to buy cattle (cow) that I will support my children after Givedirectly shall had left so it can empower me to suport the rest of my children."

"The biggest difference is in the investments that we have made so far. We wouldn't for example be able to buy a dairy cow since the amount of income that we get from his motorcycle hustle that my husband engages in is hardly enough to allow us make ends meet. For the first time, we were able to till land up to 2 acres up from half an acre."

"I had left my phone charging in the house. When I went back to get it, there was a message confirming that I have received money from GiveDirectly. I felt so happy and immediately informed my spouse who was at home. We all celebrated as a family. It was one of the happiest days of our lives. We wen to withdraw the money after two days. We had enough time to plan for it. We knew we would be able to purchase a shaft cutter machine. This would help us on cuttings the Napier grass for our cows."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have purchased a A heifer and an ox. This is the best investment that I wanted to do but I did not have the money. I depend on small scale farming and grocery business. This earns me small income and I was not in a position to purchase a dairy cow. When I received the transfer from GiveDirectly I decided to invest on this project. I will be in a position to get enough milk for the family and cut the cost of buying milk. I will sell the ox and purchase a heifer. I am so grateful for the support because GiveDirectly has enabled me to fulfilled my dream. I have devoted much of my time on this dairy keeping project. I know this will he my main source of income because I will sell the milk to earn an income. I am so grateful for the support from GiveDirectly."

"Owning a dairy cow is the biggest difference in my daily life. This is because buying milk daily is so expensive. I do not have a continuous source of income. I depend on small scale farming and causal jobs in the village. Due to recurrent household basic needs and school fees for my children I was not in a position to save some money. I had always wished to own a dairy cow but I did not have the money. When I received the transfer from GiveDirectly I decided to invest in dairy keeping project. I purchased a dairy cow and I no longer buy milk. My children get enough milk unlike before. I am in a position to save some money for household items. I sell the surplus milk to earn an income. I wish to improve this breed and ensure that I get the income in future. I am so grateful for the support."
