"Receiving this money means that I will use it for treatment since I'm suffering from sugar diabetis. Part of the money will be used to recover the piece of land that I staked to someone. Since Iam old, this money will buy for me a cow which can produce milk for home consumption."

"I spent my first transfer to pay off debt a debt worth UGX 800,000, school fees at UGX 150,000, bought a cow at UGX 630,000 and food at UGX 120,000."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now own goats. It has been my desire to rear goats for a long period of time but due to my low income, I could not afford it. The fact that goats reproduce twice a year, they give me hope or becoming wealthy very soon. I also like the fact that they can survive in any climate condition and can adapt to a harsh environment, their food is also easily available, unlike other domestic animals. When they multiply I am planning to sell some in our local markets and buy a dairy cow so that I can get milk. I will also sell milk hence increasing my source of income. According to me, these are the well-thought assets that will help me in the near future."

"Receiving this money means that I will construct two rooms to add to my existing house. The balance of the money I will buy two cows for my children. When I keep these cows well, they will produce and I will sell some for my children's education."

"Currently, my life is very different from how it was in that, I have cows and goats in my compound and this makes me feel so good. I can get milk from my cow which I used to buy before. I am also able to pay son's school fees which much more ease than before when I had to engage in casual labor to earn an income which was not a guarantee."

"The moment I received money from GiveDirectly, I felt very happy because I had hopes of building a permanent house and purchasing Livestock (cow)."

"My additional plans for the next four months is to be able to accumulate the money from my farming and wait for profits from my vegetable farming to be able to buy a dairy cow. The dairy cow shall help me by a great extent in that we shall have milk for family consumption while we sell the surplus to meet other family expenses. We currently spend a lot of money on purchase of milk. This money could be diverted into other meaningful family spending that can result in rise in the living standard of our family."

"I am planning to buy a cow in the next six months in remembrance of Give Directly. I chose to buy a cow because as long as it is well taken care of it will serve you for the rest of your life. They usually give birth after a short period of time and the require little attention as long as they are healthy and have enough fees. Their feeds are locally available and can easily be grown in this area. This means that one cow will grow and reproduce and with this I will forever have to remember to Give Directly."

"I have a plan of selling a few more birds so that I can get enough money which I will use to buy a cow worth between 14000 KES and 17000 KES. Definitely, the cow will be providing milk so that means I will not be buying milk from the local vendors. I also want to buy an ox which will help a great deal in terms of land cultivation."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will be owning three goats. I will use my subsequent transfers to achieve this. When they reproduce in number, I can be able to sell the young ones in case of an emergency. I will also be using these goats milk to make tea for my family and sell all my dairy cows surplus in order to increase my income from dairy farming."
