"Receiving this money means that I will be able to buy oxen to support my cultivation activity, a cow for milk and some household items. "

"My life has had a change because my kids now go to school without so much hustles. I am also capable of rearing my livestock because I recently added around two cows which I bought using the transfers."

"In the next six months, I will have bought a dairy cow and will also have leased another piece of land to add to what I currently cultivate. This two will be additional sources of income to what I currently have."

"My life is different in that I now own a cow, got farm land on mortgage. I will also cultivate a variety of crops come the rainy season unlike before when I had only one acre of land ."

"My life is different because I own my livestock and I dress well. Before, I did not have cows of my own."

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer because we have acquired two cows. We had sold all the cattle that we had on educating our children."

"My life has tremendously improved in that, I'm now a very respected and loved man by my in laws. This is because I treated my mother and sister in law when they were admitted in the hospital. In addition, I bought pigs that I hope to sell in the future and buy cows for paying my wife's bride price. Previously, I never had money to buy livestock."

"My life is now different in that, I'm living a healthy life because I nolonger lack money to buy basic needs especially food. Previously, I didn't have any source of income and this made me to worry a lot over how to meet these needs hence deteriorating my health. In addition, I bought cows of which one is about to calf and I can sell the milk for income."

"I spent part of my transfer on purchasing a dairy cow. Buying milk everyday is very expensive. My main source of income is doing casual jobs. Getting this casual jobs sometimes is very difficult because a lot of people in my area also rely on this for a living thus there is a lot of competition. Lastly, I spent the other part to lease a piece of land. I have been yearning to have a piece of land to cultivate maize since the one we have was small. This lets us to be buying maize every now and then. I would like to thank GiveDirectly because with the transfers it enabled me to achieve my dreams."

"My life is currently different than it was before because I nowadays own a cow and a goat. For a long time, I had just imagined owning even a single goat, although this seemed impossible to me because I have been struggling financially all through my life. As a matter of facts, I had never earned or received an amount exceeding 5,000 KES at once. At the moment, I am proud of GiveDirectly which has made me be counted among livestock owners within my village."
