"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now keep goats in my compound. For all those years now, I have been longing to buy them but I could not due to low income and other urgent family needs that needed to be taken care of at that particular time. I am now happy with the progress I have made because some have started reproducing and this gives me hope that they will increase in number within a short period of time. This also assures me that I will achieve all my goats through them."

"I spent part of my first transfer on buying a dairy cow and three goats and chicken which cost KES 29000. I later bought some beddings such as a bed and a mattress to replace the traditional bed that I have been using for all those years. I then bought a bicycle which is now helping me in fetching water from the dam. I also bought a water tank which will be helping me in collecting and storing rainwater. The remaining amount of money, I am using it in buying enough foodstuffs for my family that would take us to the next harvesting season."

"I spent part of my first transfer in buying some livestock such as two dairy cows and goats. I also bought some beddings such as a mattress to replace the old mats that I have been using for all those years. I also bought some building materials such as iron sheets, building poles, nails. This is purposely for the renovation of my house which had a leaky roof and weak walls. The remaining amount of money, I am using it buying enough foodstuffs for my family and decent clothes."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the fact that I am now hopeful and happier because I now own some goats in my homestead. I opted in buying them because they reproduce twice a year and this assures me that they will multiply in a short period of time. My wish is when they increase in number, I will exchange them for a dairy cow. These will help me to meet my future financial needs without straining."

"I spent part of my first transfer on buying some building materials which include iron sheets, building poles, timber, ropes, and nails. This was was purposely for the construction of a new house since the previous one had collapsed because of its poor state. I later bought some livestock such as goats as my living assets that I can lean on in the future. I also spent KES 5000, of the transfer on paying the mason as his labor charge. The remaining amount of money, I am using it buying some enough foodstuffs for my family."

"I spent part of my first transfer on buying some building materials such as some pieces of iron sheets, building poles, timber, and nails. This was for the construction of a new house because the previous was was is a critical condition and very small. I also bought some goats as my living dependable assets. In addition, I then purchased some beddings sich as beds and mattresses for my family to replace the traditional beds that we have been using. I also bought a battery for my solar panel. The money that had remained, I used it in buying enough foodstuffs for my family."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the fact that I now own some goats as my living assets that I did not have before. They have been my well thoughtful assets for years but I could not afford due to the poverty that had stricken my household. I settled in purchasing them because they reproduce twice a year as they mature faster compared to the other domestic animals. I am hopeful that in the next three months, they will help me in meeting my future financial goals without straining like before."

"I spent part of my first transfer on buying some beddings such as a new bed, bedsheets, and mattress. These were to replace the old ones that I have been using for all these years. I also bought a few building materials cush as iron sheets, building poles to renovate my house which was very small it could not accommodate some of my family members. In addition to that, I bought some goats which are now the dependable assets that I can lean on just in case of any financial difficulties. The remaining amount of money, I used it in buying enough foodstuffs for my family."

"Owning three goats and a ironed roofed kitchen is the biggest difference in my daily life. I could not have managed to purchase any of these animals if I was to buy them at my cost. I thank GiveDirectly for their financial support has enabled me to achieve this. These are to me assets that I can depend on in case of any financial hardship. I am expecting them to reproduce and increase in number soon. Apart from the livestock, I also built a good kitchen. I am happy that we have a good place to cook our food and also act as a bedroom for our children."
