"In the upcoming months, my focus is on substantial investments in livestock procurement. I aim to diversify my holdings by acquiring goats, sheep, and cows. By rearing and subsequently selling these animals, I anticipate substantial profits that will greatly contribute to supporting my family. As a single parent, I am profoundly grateful for the assistance provided by the transfers, which has enabled me to provide for my two children with care and stability."

"I bought some land and cow and added some capital in my business"

"My lifelong dream revolves around diving into livestock farming, with a special focus on raising cows. I cling to the hope that the goats I've acquired will reproduce, paving the way for me to exchange them for cows, which will eventually multiply over time. My ultimate vision is to venture into milk sales, not only to sustain my household but also to strengthen my family's income. This endeavor isn't just about profits but also about securing my children's education and ensuring their future well-being. With each step forward, my dreams are materializing, igniting a fire of determination within me to create a brighter future for my family."

"I had never owned a cow in my life , but due to GiveDirectly transfers I'm able to own one"

"I bought a cow because I wanted to own such an investment"

"Hope my cow will give birth and multiply then I buy land and relocate from this place"

"My aspirations are deeply rooted in the steady growth of my livestock-keeping venture, particularly focusing on dairy cows. Investing in this endeavor isn't just about financial gain; it's about securing a brighter future for my children. By nurturing and expanding my dairy herd, I aim to generate a sustainable income stream that will enable me to afford the educational expenses necessary for my kids to thrive academically. I firmly believe that by providing them with quality education, they will have the tools to become responsible individuals poised for success in the future. Each calf born and each liter of milk produced represents not only a step towards financial stability but also a step towards realizing the dreams I have for my children's futures."

"Because I'm old and can't do tough work, I plan to buy goats and look after them. Goats are good here because they can handle dry weather, unlike cows and sheep. I also pray to God to help my kids find jobs. It's been hard for me to support them through school, and I hope they can finish their education and do well so they can take care of me."

"Looking ahead to the next year, my main objective is to initiate a cow project and expand my goat herd. By doing so, I aim to generate additional income through the sale of goats once they multiply. This opportunity for increased financial stability is something I've longed for, and I'm determined to make it a reality. Previously, I didn't have any goats at my home, making such endeavors impossible. However, with the funds from my transfer, I was able to acquire goats and lay the foundation for this venture. I'm excited about the prospect of building a sustainable source of income for myself and my family, and I'm eager to see how this initiative unfolds in the coming year."

"We fetch water from the canals of river perkera which is not safe and healthy for domestic use. This nudges me to prioritize a plastic water tank worth KES 35000. Our area is conducive and suitable for livestock keeping, I will invest KES 50000 to purchase a cow and five goats."
