"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I have been in position to settle school fees for my 3 children. Paying school fees in time has given me enough time to plan for next term's fees. Secondly, I have bought a cow that I believe will help me with the educatio of my children in future. Previously, I didn't have enough money to always settle my children's school fees in time."

"My plan for the next six months, I am planning to buy a cow. This will be an investment for my grandchildren and help raise money to pay for their school fees. When the number increases, I will have a herd of cows which I can sell and raise money to pay for their fees and needs."

"In the next six months, I would want to buy a cow. I will use it as a remembrance for what GD did to my life and as an investment for my family. I know it will reproduce and hence the number will increase. I can be able to sell some to raise money to handle other needs in the family."

"I expect to have increased the base of my income sources by buying a cow for milk production. I also will have established a poultry farm. My abilities to meet my daily needs and those of my family will be greater. In the next six months, I am confident that the money I received from GiveDirectly will have caused me to do more in my cereals and potato business."

"My life is currently different in that, before my husband's death he was the breadwinner this so I never lacked. But after his death, things got tough and my children were drugged into the suffering. Schools fees became a problem and how to eat and sustain them proved to be a challenge. But thanks to GD's support I was able to buy a cow and pay my daughters school fees. This has really handled my situation and caused a complete turnaround. I am so happy and stress-free."

"I was able to save some of the money I have been receiving in the past four months which I then added to my own saving and purchased a calf. I never owned a cow before and I wanted something that would be a proper reminder of GD in my life even after the project is over, that is why I settled on livestock. Whenever I take a look at the calf daily, I am pleased fo I know that GD has made a difference in my life."

"With the plans we have for plastering the outer part of the house and painting the entire house once the plastering is done, I hope that in the next six months, there will be a total change in the general look of the house. I am more excited about the fact that I will no longer worry about having to smear the house using mud and cow dung to keep it neat as the plastering will take care of that."

"My life has changed because I bought a cow which I can also sell incase of any emergency like sickness. I started a permanent house construction, I am hopefull of completing it come my second transfer and shift from the leaky hut."

"As a household, we don't have enough land for agriculture. We do rent agricultural land and sometimes use the small homestead plots which affects our yields. So, when we get this money, we shall buy some piece of land to expand the agricultural fields so that we get better outputs. We shall also buy a cow that will provide us with milk for domestic consumption. If there is any balance, we shall buy household items like beddings, clothes, furniture and utensils."

"In the next four months, I plan to buy another cow in addition to one that I bought last year. This will be a heifer that I intend to raise it in order to become a milk producer. I will buy it using a part of the transfers and also from selling maize crop that Is almost maturing. I will put the money that I get from the farm that I did using a part of the transfers together with some of the transfers to come and buy another cow. This way, I will be getting a certainly bright financial future."
