"The additional goals in my life for the next four months is to buy cement and ceiling board with the transfers and use in furnishing my house. This will relieve my wife from the struggles she faces when searching for cow-dung in my neighbor's homestead and then to smear our present mud house."

"The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months is that I was able to pay school fees for my nephew and daughter. I am a farmer and most of my income comes from my dairy cow that doesn't produce much. I could not have completed the fee by solely depending on the proceeds from the few litres off milk produced by the cow. the fee payment education fee. I am glad that my children will now concentrate and perform well since they will have not missed any lesson as a result of being sent home due to lack of school fees"

"I want to make sure that my husband gets a few domestic livestock such as cows and goats which we will use to pay my own dowry within the foreseeable future. We had not been able to accomplish this customary requirement before because our financial ability has been very low."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to build an iron roofed house, buy some cows that can reproduce and take care of future evetualities and provide the education needs of my children. "

"Two years ago, a grocery business I had run for over five years collapsed due to financial constraints. Proceeds I accrued from this venture could not sustain the incessant skyrocketing needs in my household, leading it to collapse. Receiving this money means a restoration of my glory days. I am planning to spend my first transfer to revive my grocery business. This is the business I anticipate to take my son through school and pay other bills in the household. I am going to use the remaining amount to add a dairy cow into my herd."

"Receiving this money will uplift my living standards in that I will use part of the money to build a bigger iron roofed house and for the remaining part, i intend to buy a dairy cow which in turn produce milk that i will supply to the nearby shopping center hence earning me a daily source of income."

"Receiving this money means that I will now own a dairy cow which has always been my desire.This will serve as a source of income when I sell the milk that I get from it.I also have a plan of hawking clothes within the village and during market days.This is the business I have always wished to start.My long term plan is owning my own shop for doing this business."

"My expectation in the near future is to buy a dairy cow. Once my poultry farm is well established and generating some good proceeds plan to save the proceeds and buy a dairy cow. I think it is one of the best projects around because of the good profits it generates. I know it won't be easy but I am committed to own one very soon."

"In the next four months, I wish to buy a cow as an investment for my family. I know through this, I will be able to sell it to raise money for an emergency without having to beg and borrow from friends and relatives as before. When it reproduces, I will have a herd which is a good investment."

"My life is different because I was able to start my small scale business where I buy maize in bulk at wholesale price and later re-sell them at retail prices. I do not think I would have launched this business if I had not received the transfers from Give Directly. Apart from that, I have become a large scale farmer where I keep a lot of livestock which includes cows, sheep, and ducks. One advantage of keeping these birds is that I can be able to sell them out anytime when I feel I am financially broke."
