"We have thought of starting the rearing of a few goats and sheep. We decided to settle on that decision because we wanted to invest in something that is going to help us in the future. Goats and sheep multiply very fast in terms of numbers and when they do, we will sell some of them and use the money in buying a calf. To achieve this dream, we plan to use the money that we will receive from the merry-go-round contributions of the self-help groups that we have joined to buy them."

Vincent received a $489 initial payment.
"The transfer has brought a very big difference in my life and that of my family. I was able to buy food and other household goods that are going to last my family for three months. With this, I have been able to relax a little bit because I no longer worry about what they are going to eat over lunch whenever I am out working. I have thus been able to save the money that I get from the casual jobs. Thank you so much GiveDirectly for the great help."
