"The biggest difference is that I now own my own oxen, which will enable me to hire others at a fee which means an income to me and boost my farming practice. Also, I will be able to increase my acreage for the cultivated land to get more yields as well as converting the uncultivated land to be productive again. To me, owning this pair of oxen is the biggest difference in my daily life."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the purchase of the oxen which I did not have before as this has really changed my life since it is a long term investment to me. I know I will be able to produce much food enough for my family now that the oxen will be tilling bigger acreage of land as well as relieving me the burden of hiring from neighbours."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is owning a dairy cow because I had none. I am now certain of getting milk very soon and this simply means that, I will not be using 50 KES to buy milk every day which is a norm currently."

"In the next six months, I expected my life to have changed as far as asset ownership is concerned. Owning a cow is a measure of wealth in my community and so by having one, I will count myself to have risen a step higher."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the ability to raise school for my child with a lot of ease. I am so happy that I was able to let my child smoothly proceed to form four without any fee issue. It has always been a big problem for my husband and I to raise school fee for our children since I always stay at home taking care of the disabled grandchild. My husband on the other hand, through his tailoring business, works hard to raise some income for the family basic needs which hardly pays for the children's school fee."

"My life has really improved after receiving the transfer than before. Before the transfer, i did not have any livestock, but now i rear some sheep which I am optimistic that will multiply to enable me to buy a cow. Nutritionally, I can now eat a complete meals than before when I could stay without food in the house."

"It was around 5am when I was woken by a message from the phone. When I read it I actually found out that it was a message from GiveDirectly. I felt very happy and never went back to bed. I just decided to start taking care of the cows just to keep myself busy as I think of the blessing that I had gotten"

"The moment I received the money I felt happy, It was just like a dream. I decide to confirm from my Mpesa just to be sure and really thanked God for the blessing."

"With the current ease in life, I am trying my best to ensure that I accumulate and put a stock of timber and frames in my house in preparation to start my own carpentry shop. I also have a plan to purchase a power saw and hire someone who will be using it in cutting more timber since I will be operating in a workshop which I really hope to see it grow."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I am less stressed because I have been able to achieve my goal of taking up a teaching course."
