"Receiving this money will help me add stock to my shop.I have a small shop and I had a plan of extending and stocking it more.I am also planning to buy a dairy cow to add to the two that I have.This will help boost my income."

"After purchasing the first heifer, I have a feeling that I should purchase another one as an additional goal. I have three children in school and I am foreseeing a future where I will be paying their school fees after selling milk product from my cows. Earning some money from the sale of milk will be a great boost to the financial success which translates to ease of school fee payment and general education of my children."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that, I would have bought a dairy cow using the saving issued to me from our merry go round group. I believe having the dairy cow will enable me to cut the cost of buying milk which is currently very expensive"

"I spent the money to buy a cow which I now milk every morning and at times in the evening. This, therefore, means that I do not have to buy milk each and every day like I used to do previously, therefore, I am now able to cut down on costs and expenses for the family."

"The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving these transfers is that I now have a cow in my compound. This has been my dream for three years but I could achieve it due to my low income from farming and small business. The income has always sustained feeding the family and other basic needs such as medication and school fees for my children. I knew one day I will have a cow because I was determined. When I started receiving these transfers, I knew God had answered my prayers. I used the transfers to buy the cow so as to fulfill my dream."

"My additional goal over the next four months is to buy an one other dairy cow This, I plan to do when I receive money from our monthly merry go round which will happen in August. I have felt the support from dairy farming and I am looking forward to having an additional dairy cow. This shall definitely bring more income to me which shall be used to pay school fees and meet other family's basic needs. I am looking forward to making this happen."

"I spent part of my first transfer on purchasing livestock like a dairy cow, an oxen, and five goats. I have always been interested in rearing them but due to my low income, I could not afford it. I believe in the near future I will be able to get milk from the dairy cow and also selling the remaining milk to my neighbors. Previously I used to buy from my neighbors which were expensive and sometimes I could not afford. With the pair of oxen, it will help me in ploghing my farm on a large scale and apart from that I will be hiring them at a fee and get an income. With the remaining amount of money, I bought some school uniforms for my children and paying their school fees for the next two terms. This will make them have enough quality time to study and get some good grades."

"My new goal for the next four months is to buy a dairy cow. My family will not only get milk for consumption but I will also be selling at our nearby shopping center and use the money I will be getting to cater for my family's needs. Since I do not have a stable source of income, I am planning to improve my poultry keeping project by buying more chicken as my future investment. This will help me to earn more income to use in supporting my family."

"When I receive this money,I want to buy one more cow to add to the one I have.Since I spend most of the time around my farm,I believe dairy farming is good for me.This is a good source of income that I can manage myself.I also have a plan of building a house since this one is too small.It has only one room and it is grass thatched. "

"I spent part of my transfer on building a house. I used to live in a tiny house which was old. This is the house which my late husband had built many years ago. Today I feel happy living in my dream spacious house. I also paid school fees for my two children in college and high school respectively. I had been thinking on how to pay their school fee and being that I was depending on my sugarcane produce to mature up, I was worried of the timing but I am glad that GiveDirectly money came in handy. Apart from that, I also bought a dairy cow for milk production. I am happy because the previous ones died and I had to buy milk from my neighbors which was expensive."
