"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have my own cattle. I know that this is an investment for me. There are no casual jobs in our area because of the climatic condition. Our region is normally dry therefore most of the manual jobs that can be done from the farm are no longer available. Cattle rearing is the most efficient source of livelihood since we can easily sell milk or their calves and take care of our needs. I am grateful that I was not left out of the program."

"I expect to have reduced the reliance on working for others on the farms in order to put food on the table. Apart from taking care of the cow we now own, I will also be working on my own farm to produce food crops for my family. These activities are more beneficial than the odd jobs I have to do for very low wages. I expect to make a better living working on my own farm over the next six months."

"My daily life has changed in that I dress well together with my family. Previously, I dressed poorly because I couldn't afford better clothes for myself and family."
