"I'm so happy nowadays because I have realized some change in my life in terms of hire land since I did not have enough land to farm on. I now sleep on a presentable mattress courtesy of the transfers because initially I slept on a small and worn out mattress. I'm Glad that I managed to pay my children's school fees therefore this term they will not be sent home for defaulting school fees. Finally I have a cow that I look up to for the future that will produce and supply me with milk for sale and consumption hence improved diet and income."

"The biggest difference is that I managed to purchase a cow at a cost of 16000 KES, something that I would have never had done were it not for the cash transfers. the cow has already given birth to one calf and I am sure that it will still give birth in the future which loosely translates to more milk production from time to time. Basically what that means is that I will not have to be buying milk from the local vendors."

"Receiving this money is going to relieve me from borrowing agricultural inputs like oxen and an ox-plough. When I receive this money I will buy my own oxen and ox-plough that will help me plough the fields. This will relieve me of the borrowing burden.. I will also buy a cross breeded cow that will produce milk for both commercial and domestic purposes. This diary project will help in household income sustainability."

"I spent my first to buy a bull and two little cows. Then I bought a few household items like mattress, a bed, food, and hired cultivation land."

"I spent UGX 1300000 to purchase three cows and UGX 60000 on purchasing a bag of cassava. I purchased clothes and bedding for the family worth UGX 200000. The balance was spent on buying food for the family."

"Before GiveDirectly came to us, I never owned any livestock in my life, though it had been my aspiration to have them since they are investments to me. Through the transfer, I managed to purchase a cow and the two goats, which I am hoping that they will reproduce, and increase in number and have many of them. I will also be getting milk from my own cow for the first time, I will no longer be buying from neighbours. To me, owning this livestock is the biggest difference in my daily life."

"Receiving this money will enable me to build a poutry unit to practice poultry keeping, a project that i know will help me get some daily income upon selling eggs and once the chicken multiplies i will sell them and use the money to buy sheep for rearing in my farm. I also plan to buy a dairy cow with the remaining part of the transfer in order to reduce the cost of buying milk daily as well as selling some to also earn some income on a daily basis."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that l manage to buy blanket and I am now sleeping very comfortably as compared to before when I was covering myself with a very light bed sheet that could not cover me well. I also no longer use my hand to cultivate the land since I now have a cow, I will also hire my cows to people to cultivate their farm and get money for my up keep. "

"Receiving this money will help me do more of dairy farming.I will buy one dairy cow to add to the one I have.I will also pay school fees for my children.My child will be joining secondary school next year and I ought to be ready for it.I need to have saved enough by the end of the year."

"Dairy farming is the biggest occupation people engage in within our location. This is because the climatic condition favour the same. I have always wished to raise some dairy cattle in my farm but i haven't been able to realise this dream due to lack of finances. I therefore plan to use money from Gd to buy two cows then use the remaining part of the money to furnish my house and buy household items and furniture."
