"The biggest difference in my daily is that I have bought a dairy cow. I used to buy milk and it was so costly for me. I depend on casual jobs in the village and the little money I get from was not enough to meet all the basic needs of the family thus sometimes we could even miss having breakfast. I do horticulture farming on my farm and this has enabled me to earn an income to pay school fees for my children and the surplus I sell at the market to meet other households basic needs. Currently, I have enough milk for my family use and the rest I sell at the shopping center to earn an income to pay part of the school fees for my children. we no longer miss having breakfast like we used to do before. My children are very happy they are no longer sent home to collect the school fees because I pay their fees on time. We are so grateful for the support, our living standard has changed."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have bought ten goats. I had some few goats and It had been my wish to add more but I did not have money to do it. I used to do casual jobs in the village and the amount of money that I got through this could only gather for the basic needs of the family. I also do horticulture farming and I take the produce to school to gather for the school fees for my children in secondary school. Most of the time I could not get an extra income to invest in livestock because food and school fees could take all the money. When I received money from GiveDirectly I was so happy since I knew that my dream of investing in livestock had arrived. I am so happy because I have them now. I have hope that in the near future they will have reproduced and I will sell them to buy a dairy cow. This will be a source of income because I will be getting milk for both household consumption and to sell at the center near home for more income."

"My life has taken a good trajectory because I have been able to buy a cow in the recent past with the little that I have been getting from the organization. I have always wanted to do animal farming for a long time coming and I believe that this is the right time for me to jump into this kind of an adventure. Currently, I buy milk on a daily basis which again leaves me with a ballooning budget every month."

"Having my own cow is the difference that is very different compared to four months ago. I am assured that in the next few months years, the cow will have calved and this means I will have more milk for both family use and for sale to add me additional income."

"Having a dairy cow I feel my life is totally different with helpful impacts. I settled to rear a dairy cow because apart from getting milk from it, I will also be selling the remaining liters to my neighbors. It has been my preference for a long period of time to have it but the amount of money i was earning was not enough. Currently, the cow is already providing us with milk, i am so delighted since my children are now healthful. Apart from that, there are some liters which I a sell to my neighbors which is now my additional source of income. I am feeling like I have been empowered financially through the selling of the milk."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that l managed to pay for my sister school fee with ease and this saved her from dropping out of school since she was able to complete her secondary school without any arrears. Because of give directly I now have my own cow that I had never thought of owning in my life. I am very sure in future I will not spend money in buy milk as I am currently spending because I will be milking f my dairy cow that I bought using give directly's money."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly has been of great impact to us in my community. First, most of us have cows both dairy and oxen. With the oxen, we are assured of consuming less time in ploughing our farms and also getting some good harvests. To add on that, the majority of us now have some good permanent houses which are iron roofed. The previous ones were small huts which were temporary. Lastly, our children are now studying without any difficulties because we cleared the fees arrears that they had. All children in my village are now at school According to me, I do not see any sector that GiveDirectly failed us."

"Owning the dairy cows is the biggest difference in my daily life I can proudly mention. I have been admiring my neighbors and friends lifestyle for so long because they have been rearing different types of livestock. My low income could not allow me to own one. I am now a happy man since I know I will achieve a lot from the cows. I will be getting some milk for free and this will make my family and I healthier. Apart from that, I plan to sell the remaining liters to the local markets and this will be my additional source of income."

"In my opinion GiveDirecty has brought a positive impact in my village. First, most of us now have livestock like cows and many more. We were not expecting to own them anytime soon because of our financial difficulties. Secondly, the number of children going to school has really increased. This is because previously some were dropping out of school due to lack of school fees. But the coming of GiveDirectly has made everything to change positively. All children are now in school studying without any disturbances. Lastly, the permanent houses that we own. Majority of us could not imagine someday we could sleep under such descent houses which are iron roofed. It was really hectic especially in winter seasons, our hats were ever leaking. Thanks to this organization for coming into my village. I have never heard or seen people complaining about this organization because it has done a perfect job in my community."

"It has been two years since one of my neighbours who is well off gave me one of her dairy cattle to take care of as my own, after she saw me struggle buying milk due to my low financial status. This money will therefore enable me to pay for the cow so that i can own it fully. I also plan to add one more dairy cow for milking since i have seen the benefits of it. I usually sell 6litres of milk daily from one cow, 4litres in the morning and 2litres in the evening at ksh 30 per litre, an income that has seen me providing basic needs for my children. The remaining part of my transfer will ease my burden of paying school fees for my son who will be joining college next year. "
