"Increased income from the sale of milk due to an increase in my milk production is the biggest improvement in my life this year. I have been using the money to buy livestock feeds and supplements. My cows are now doing well than previously. I sell most of it and get money to meet other household needs. The remaining milk is used for consumption in the household on a daily basis eliminating one of the daily expenses. I am able to provide for my family every day."

"Throughout the day I get busy in the farm: weeding or planting as well as taking care of our two cows.My teenage daughter recently gave birth and now am forced to look after the baby as the mother goes to school.All these is really tiring for me and I hardly get time to rest. In the evening when my children are back from school I get time to rest after a long day.This is the happiest part of my day"

"My plan will be to spend the givedirectly transfers for buying cows and oxen. The cows will produce and provide milk for consumption. I will use the oxen for ploughing such that I can be able to produce enough crop harvest. This will enable me reduce poverty in my family."

"Receiving this money means a safer house for me and my family. I plan to replace my wooden door with a metal one thus preventing thieves or strangers from getting in. I will also erect pillars for my current house and ensure it remains strong even during rainy seasons. Finally, I will invest in indigenous livestock such as cows and goats as security for future needs such as education for my children."

"Receiving this money means acquiring some cows that we shall rare in order to act as an investment for the household. The cows in the future will multiply, some sold in order to pay school fees for our children not forgetting meeting other household needs. Currently, we have to work on other people's gardens in order to raise income for the household. "

"Receiving this money means starting an Income generating activity for my household. I will buy cows that I will keep, they will multiply and some can be sold in order to meet family needs like medical needs, education and feeding not forgetting marrying for them in the future. Currently, we have struggled to start up income generation but it has failed because we rely on farming which is not reliable due to harsh weather changes."

"My new additional goal for the next four months is to buy a dairy cow. I have some savings in the merry go round group that we have in the village. When it will be my turn to get the money I will be in a good financial position to buy a dairy cow. This will enable me to cut the cost of buying milk which is so costly."

"I have been buying milk on a daily basis since I sold the cow I once owned in order to clear my children's school fees. Currently, I am a proud owner of a dairy cow which I bought using the savings I was given at our merry go round group. I believe that very soon, apart from saving the money I would otherwise use in buying milk, I will be earning an income through the sale of milk at our nearby shopping centers. Being able to own a dairy cow once more is the biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly has empowered me with money to purchase cows which I will provide for bride price. That is my pride."

"My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because l have manage to improve my cattle keeping by buying more cattle and very soon I am planning to sell them and spend the money to buy dairy cow which will be more profitable. "
