"This transfer has brought a very big difference in our lives. With the cow that we bought with part of the transfer, we will now be able to have our own milk that the children can consume and we will be able to sell part of it. The money from these sales will enable us to have some source of income that we can use on other things. Also, with the motorbike that we bought for business, we will be able to have a source of income that we can depend on even after the money that we are getting from GiveDirectly gets finished. The goats that I bought, will reproduce and can be able to sell some whenever I need money to pay for my children’s school fees. Thank you GiveDirectly for making this happen."
