"Livestock is a major source of income in my family. After a day's hard work looking after my cows, it makes me happy milking them late in the afternoon because a good production translates to a bountiful income which caters for food to my family. "

"The house I live in is small for a family of 6 members.It is only one room and too add to that it is grass thatched.My first plan will therefore be to build another house with an iron roof and two rooms.The current one will just serve as a kitchen.I will then embark on expanding dairy farming.I have a heifer and my plan was getting a cow which I will start milking within a short time.Milk is a good source of income since I will be selling daily and the money I get will help me buy food."

"After the children leave for school,I tend to the cows i.e feed and water then work in my farm.I work there for most part of the mornings till lunchtime.It is at this time that I am happiest because through this work and the proceeds of the farm,my family will be able to have a meal at the end of the day."

"I spent my second transfer for paying a debt worth UGX 800,000 and buying 2 cows."

"I used my second transfer for buying 2 bags of cement, 2 beds, a mattress, 2 cows, food and paying the builders."

"My life is different than it would have been if I did not get the money because I have constructed an Iron roofed house and I own a cow. I will be relieved from sleeping in a hut with a leaky roof as soon as I move into my new house."

"Receiving this money means to buy a cow and complete my iron-roofed house. I currently do not have any asset to rely on for money hence whenever an issue arises , Iam unable to contain. My family stays in a dusty rooms that causes flue. When I buy a cow it will produce and mulitply. I will be selling some of the off-springs for educating my children in future. These will enable them acquire knowledge for managing their family problems. Also completing the house by cementing and plaster will make my family members have acomforble accommodations to live hence reduction in flue."

"I used my second transfer for completing the construction of my iron roofed house and buying a cow."

I have been empowered by these transfer which I have been receiving from GiveDirecetly to acquire some of the things which I wouldn't afford were it not with the transfer which I receive from this organization. Now I got I cow which I didn't have before and also I have been able to purchase household items which I didn't have initially."
