"Most of my first transfer went into sorting out a house for my family to live in. I had decided that since I hadn't used the money to do anything that would allow me make money and I had really wanted to increase my livestock numbers and add more profitable animals I decided to use my second transfer in buying cattle. I bought five female calves. Each of the calves was being sold at 8000 shillings each and I, in total, spent 40,000 in the purchase of this calves. I had goats before which I would sell and make some money but I had seen that cows were a more profitable animal to keep as I would be able to sell milk as well as get more cows that I would sell for meat. I am hoping this will sustain me and allow my children go through school from the proceeds of the business. I spent 2500 from the money to pay for my children's school fees as well as which allowed them to go to school and I have no pending debts with the school. The remaining amounts from the transfers went into daily food needs which is a big part for us since we had had a time of struggle with food."

"In 2020,I started my own clothes business which was giving me sufficient profits that ran my family smoothly but unfortunately for me in 2021,my mother felt seriously sick and people kept showing me different places to take her for solution which I was doing untill I lost all of my business monies and yet death took her away from me within the illness after losing my all so if am opportune to get this money from Givedirectly,I will reestablish my clothes business and earn profit more and afterwards build my own house."

"the goal that i didn't have before receiving the transfer was to build a house."

""My greatest challenge is financial constraint. Due to a small business I do and a low cash earned, I am incapacitated to send all of my children to school.""

""When I received the cash transfer, I plan to build a house and portion of the transfers to send my children to school and used the remaining for business"."

"I bought zinc to Start building house for my family."

"I have a new goal which is to build house for myself. I have been living in people house for a very long time but the transfer am receiving from Givedirectly is making me an independent person now."

"In my opinion Givedirectly is doing everything well because my life is improving since I started receiving transfer."

"I plan to build my house, buy food , save some of the money and I also plan to buy mattress for my room."

"I plan to pay my son hospital bills, plaster my house, save some of the money and to do a business."
