"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have bought a dairy cow with the profits I make from my business and GiveDirectly's transfers. Meaning, I will be able to cut costs of buying milk on a daily basis which is very expensive"

"I decided to spend my transfer on purchasing livestock and I bought two in number a cow and a calf. I bought household items like a mattress, bed sheets, curtains, clothes and utensils. I have kept aside some money that I will use to pay school fees for my children."

"There's improved standards of living in my daily life in a sense that I now feed on a well balanced diet, I managed to stock some posho and beans in conjunction with other diets. I'm glad that I have enough piece of land to farm on since I was able to payoff the debt I acquired using that land. Finally my children are in school because I cleared their school fees and I have also invested in buying a cow."

"I'm so happy nowadays because I have realized some change in my life in terms of hire land since I did not have enough land to farm on. I now sleep on a presentable mattress courtesy of the transfers because initially I slept on a small and worn out mattress. I'm Glad that I managed to pay my children's school fees therefore this term they will not be sent home for defaulting school fees. Finally I have a cow that I look up to for the future that will produce and supply me with milk for sale and consumption hence improved diet and income."

"The biggest difference is that I managed to purchase a cow at a cost of 16000 KES, something that I would have never had done were it not for the cash transfers. the cow has already given birth to one calf and I am sure that it will still give birth in the future which loosely translates to more milk production from time to time. Basically what that means is that I will not have to be buying milk from the local vendors."

"Receiving this money is going to relieve me from borrowing agricultural inputs like oxen and an ox-plough. When I receive this money I will buy my own oxen and ox-plough that will help me plough the fields. This will relieve me of the borrowing burden.. I will also buy a cross breeded cow that will produce milk for both commercial and domestic purposes. This diary project will help in household income sustainability."

"I spent my first to buy a bull and two little cows. Then I bought a few household items like mattress, a bed, food, and hired cultivation land."

"I spent UGX 1300000 to purchase three cows and UGX 60000 on purchasing a bag of cassava. I purchased clothes and bedding for the family worth UGX 200000. The balance was spent on buying food for the family."

"Before GiveDirectly came to us, I never owned any livestock in my life, though it had been my aspiration to have them since they are investments to me. Through the transfer, I managed to purchase a cow and the two goats, which I am hoping that they will reproduce, and increase in number and have many of them. I will also be getting milk from my own cow for the first time, I will no longer be buying from neighbours. To me, owning this livestock is the biggest difference in my daily life."

"Receiving this money will enable me to build a poutry unit to practice poultry keeping, a project that i know will help me get some daily income upon selling eggs and once the chicken multiplies i will sell them and use the money to buy sheep for rearing in my farm. I also plan to buy a dairy cow with the remaining part of the transfer in order to reduce the cost of buying milk daily as well as selling some to also earn some income on a daily basis."
