"For the past three years, we have constantly been experiencing famine that ravages our county as a result of prolonged drought. Such a phenomenon has always deprived us of an opportunity to cultivate our farms because of the possible loss of our crops to drought. Therefore, as I continue to receive my transfer, my primary goal is to spend them on paying my Said's school fees. I also long to spend part of it to acquire food owing to the current food shortage in the country."

"Since childhood, I have been passionate about doing a course in medicine. However, when things got tough for my parents, I felt like giving up, especially when I witnessed my brother dropping out of school at form three. Fortunately, I gained hope when I first received my transfer from GiveDirectly's program. I now long to study nursing when I secure a chance at the university. Therefore, with the assurance of the monthly transfer, I shall use my monthly transfers to pay off my school fees. As a result, I am cocksure of completing my O'level of study and joining the university."

"My parents do not have a reliable source of income except for running a small unsustainable business. Consequently, they struggle to raise our school fees. From the time I got enrolled in the program, I developed a goal of using my monthly transfers to pay my fees. I am optimistic to complete my secondary education end of this year. It will enable me to get an opportunity to join college and pursue a course in education. I aspire to become a teacher to contribute back to our society."

"When I got the second transfer, I was going through a difficult time. I was so ill that I was unable to leave the house to work and support my family. I prioritized getting the right care, and I spent at least $100 on medication. I also bought a cow for $260. I decided to invest by purchasing the cow. My children had some unpaid school fees, so I made a $100 payment for them so they could continue their education. I was compelled to use the remaining money only for food, ensuring that my family had access to regular meals."

"My household has been surviving on a meager income. That has been insufficient to sustain my family's needs. It had subjected us to difficulty in raising my children's school fees. However, I desire to see my son advance in his study. Therefore, at the start of the year, I developed a goal to divert my monthly income toward paying school fees for my school-going son. As a result of this, I shall see him advancing in his studies."

"I began building a new house last year since the current one is old and relatively small. Unfortunately, I lost my job last year, bringing to a halt my building project since I did not have constant cash flow. Therefore, as I continue to receive my transfer, I have a goal of completing to build it before this year ends. I hope that once I achieve that goal, my family will have a decent house. The current one is smaller, old, and leaky during rainy seasons."

"It has been quite difficult for me to pay for my two school-going children's fees since I am a widow. As a result, when the year began, I set a goal of concentrating on paying school fees for my two sons. I intend to keep focusing on that main objective until my sons achieve their academic pursuits. After that, I will consider raising livestock; goats and cows. I equally value livestock because they are of great benefits even to our surrounding community."

"My main goal is to own a better house in the next one year. My current house in a dilapidated state and getting money to renovate or build a better one had been quite a challenge. My plans are to save the little amount of money monthly and after a certain period, I would have enough money to help me build a better house."

"My future goal is to educate my children to a level that they would want to. I would want to see them continue with their education and in the future get better jobs that could help sustain them. To achieve this, I would ensure that I spent most of the transfers on paying their school fees and on any other items required at school for their smooth learning."
