"My first transfer was spent to buy a bull and a cow. I aslo bought a cloth, and remaining balance is being used to buy food. "

"Receiving this money means I will be able to buy a piece of land that I can cultivate, oxen and an ox-plough that will support in farming, a cow that will reproduce and also provide milk for my family. "

"Receiving this money means I will be able to buy a piece of land that I can cultivate. I also hope to buy a cow that I know will reproduce. By so diong, I will be able to sell others so as to raise money that will take care of some household needs especially providing the education needs of my child the fact that I am raising him alone as a widow. "

"I purchased two cows worth UGX 1000000 and household items like mattress worth UGX 100000 and a blanket worth UGX 35000. I spent UGX 110000 on tithe. I saved UGX 200000 incase of any emergencies. I bought food with the balance of the cash transfer."

"The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I used to save some amount of money in merry go round group that we have started in our village. When it was my turn, I used all the saving from the group to buy a heifer. I'm so happy because of this achievement. I will no longer buy milk. When the cow reproduced I will be in a position to sell the milk at the market center home. This will enable me to cut the cost of buying milk which is so costly for me, my family will also have enough milk for consumption. I will use the income to pay school fees for my children in various school. I'm so happy with the support because I see the hope at the end of the tunnel. My children will be no longer sent home to collect school fees and their performance will improve greatly."

"The additional goals for my life for the next four months is to buy a sheep. I settled on this since it is more affordable. When they reproduce and increase in number, I will sell and use the money to buy a dairy cow."

"I spent my first transfer to buy a cow at Ugx 600000, bedsheets at Ugx 40000, scholarstic materials for my school going grand children at Ugx 20000 and I bought food that I use to feed my family. I paid labor that helped me in weeding g.nuts and maize at Ugx 100000. I am saving up the balance of my money to cater for some arising issues. "

"I don't have a new goal but to keep buying goats to rear so that from selling them, I raise enough money to buy a dairy cow. I intend to keep increasing the number of goats so that at the end of the year, I will have more money because they multiply very quickly and grow fast."

"My life is currently different because of the diversified sources of income. In addition to my temporary job as a teacher in a local school, I collect eggs every day from a poultry project and will soon be a dairy producer. It is amazing to see myself as a dairy cow owner. I bought my first cow ever using the money I have been receiving from Give Directly. These two investments have secured my financial future as I continue searching for a permanent job. I am so happy that I can now easily meet my daily needs and those of my family using the money I get from the sale of eggs that I collect from my poultry."

"My current house is not complete which makes it not look good. I have occupied it because there was no aternative. So, when I get this money, I will make sure I complete the construction of my house and buy some household items like electronics, furniture and utensils. I will also buy some cows that I will use for both agriculture and diary. "
