"My life is currently different because I have been able to keep savings in a merry go round group. I have been saving about KES 2000 every month that I will use in home improvement and in buying a cow. I am almost completing the house I will be living in. The savings is a huge change in my life that will enable me to meet my financial obligations when I have used it to buy a dairy cow."

"I spent my second transfer for buying a cow worth UGX 800,000, and UGX 170,000 for buying gifts for my father. The balance of the money I used for completing the construction of the house that I had started with the first transfer."

"I spent my second transfer for buying a cow at UGX 800,000,food at UGX 300,000, paying a medical bill of UGX 415,000 and I saved UGX118,000."

"My life has changed alot because I sleep on a comfortable mattress with nice bedsheets and I wear better clothes. I also bought a cow that provides us milk. Before then I used to sleep on a mat and I had only two pairs of clothes, I had to wash and wait for them to dry while covered with a bed sheet."

"In the next six months, I expect to buy cows. I am planning to buy a bull and a dairy cow which I will keep as my assets. Having cows will really be resourceful for my farming because I will team them up with my neighbour's bulls to help in ploughing. I will also be able to get milk from my dairy cow once it starts bearing calves."

"My life has greatly changed by the fact that I own livestock such as sheep and a cow that will be my investment, keep me busy in terms of grazing them and source of pride in my community since it is the case in the setting of my home land. In the past, I was a nobody in the area without that livestock. I could keep around home with almost nothing to do except for waiting for evening and go gambling."

"The biggest difference in my daily life preceding the current transfer owning a dairy cow. I had desired to keep livestock of my own but could not raise money to buy some because I had no reliable source of income. I am hopeful that my cow will multiply to add me more cows as well as provide us with milk which we will sell to earn some income."

"My life has changed because I have got Livestock (cows) which I'm planning to spend on cultural function (dowry). Before, I could not pay dowry. I have also acquired a bed and a mattress which I never had."

"GiveDirectly has done well by enabling me to build permanent houses and buy cows. GiveDirectly has not done anything wrong."

"I have spent my second transfer on Livestock like cows worth UGX 800,000, food for my pigs worth UGX 240,000, start salon business worth 595000 and transport worth UGX 50,000."
