"I plan to get a cow, and invest in agriculture so that I can support my family."

"I have build a house to support my family safety, my cows will have grown so I can purchase and get some profit. I have also bought more goods for my business that could help me in supporting my family needs."

"I have a significant list of goals to achieve in the upcoming period that will not only secure the well-being of my family of seven but also establish a foundation for future financial stability. Our primary focus in the coming year and beyond revolves around acquiring a dairy cow, a move that holds the potential to curtail the escalating expenses of purchasing milk, particularly as our family expands. Although the market value of the farm produce we rely on is compromised due to widespread production in our community, I am optimistic that selling an entire crop yield from a three-quarter piece of land dedicated to tomatoes will yield substantial profits, thereby realizing this aspiration. I'm appreciative of the initial support provided by GiveDirectly, and my intention is to maintain this momentum well into the future."

"I bought two cows so that I and the family can have milk. I bought land so that I can build a house."

"I bought a cow so that I can be able to get some money"

"In the coming few years, I aspire to own livestock, particularly cows and goats. In the past, I had livestock, but I had to sell them to cover my children's school fees as charcoal burning was becoming physically demanding. I am hopeful that future financial constraints will be fewer, allowing me to utilize the cash transfers to purchase at least two cows for plowing purposes. These cows will not only assist me in cultivating my land but could also be rented out to generate extra income."

"I have a future goal of acquiring a cow. This aspiration is driven by the understanding that such investment not only serves as a sign of the positive impact brought about by the cash transfers but also contributes to building wealth for my future. At present, I already own two goats that I obtained through previous transfers. I have a genuine affection for owning livestock because they offer assistance during times of necessity. For instance, I could opt to sell these animals to generate funds for covering the school fees of my five children. Am confident that owning livestock would lift a significant part of the burdens my husband and I go through to provide for our children through casual jobs."

"In the years to come, I have a vision of establishing a small shop in my village. This endeavor has great potential, as our village currently lacks any such convenience, forcing residents to take long journeys to make purchases. By setting up this shop, I will be generating additional income alongside the proceeds from the cow I own. With this combined income, I'll be able to secure a quality education for my three children without struggling since I believe they have a bright future through education."

"I bought a cow, I invested in a business, bought timber for constructing a cow shed, gifted a friend's child with 1 million to complete her nursing course."

"My living conditions changed when I received give directly money, so I hope to sell a calf from my cow then put up a house on my land as I'm staying at a relative's house in a risky area because my home was washed away by the landslides of 2022 in August."
