"Chasing two birds at the same time has never been the right option. Therefore, in the coming year and beyond, I want to focus on paying off my solar loan. I have committed to paying $21 each month from my monthly transfer. The remaining amount is not enough to invest in another project, but it allows me to buy food so that my family also feels the impact of the transfer. I am happy and grateful for the support from GiveDirectly. Without it, I wouldn't have managed to buy the solar system."

"It is very embarrassing to have a small house once you have a family because there is no privacy. When I have visitors, we are often forced to sit outside, and if it rains, we have to squeeze ourselves into the small space inside. Given this situation, now that I am married, my top priority is to own a house. Having a spacious house will provide us with privacy and allow us to host visitors comfortably. To achieve this dream, I plan to save part of my transfer every month in our merry-go-round and savings group. Once I have accumulated enough money, I will buy building materials. I am optimistic about realizing this project in the coming year and beyond. I want to thank GiveDirectly for helping me work towards my goal of owning a house without much struggle."

"In my small, leaky-roofed house, my ultimate goal is to utilize a portion of my transfers to construct a respectable dwelling for my family. There's a deep-seated desire to provide my loved ones with a safe and comfortable home, free from the worries of leaks and inadequate shelter. With each transfer, I'm driven by a sense of determination to make this dream a reality, infusing every step with passion and purpose. It's not just about building a house; it's about creating a haven where my family can thrive and flourish, imbued with warmth, security, and the promise of a better future."

"I'm setting aside money from my transfers to purchase building materials for expanding my cramped one-room house into a two-room dwelling. It's a significant improvement I've been longing for. Progress has been made as I've already acquired 20 iron sheets, completing that phase of the project. Now, I'm ready to move forward with the next step which is buying building poles and eventually complete the house extension. Thereafter, my ultimate goal is to eventually venture into livestock farming and purchase goats with my transfers, anticipating they'll multiply, allowing me to trade them for cows."

"I aim to finish my studies by the end of this year. Afterwards, I plan to utilize my transfers to gradually purchase the necessary items to complete my toolbox. Eventually, I aim to establish my own carpentry workshop and start my own business and have a financial security"

"With the savings from our savings group, I aim to purchase three goats, hoping they'll breed and increase in number. My plan is to eventually exchange them for cows down the line. When my children enter higher education, I may be able to sell the cows to finance their schooling."

"My main goal for the coming year is to get all the items I need to build my new house and start building it. I have finished buying the building poles and now I want to start buying iron sheets. I'm really happy and grateful for the money I got from the transfers, it's helping me a lot."

"My strategy involves utilizing the savings from my transfers to enter the realm of livestock farming, aiming for their multiplication and subsequently sell them kickstart a business, thereby ensuring financial stability."

"My ultimate goals revolve around establishing a sizable livestock collection. To achieve this, I plan to utilize my transfers gradually to purchase chickens and ducks, envisioning their growth and multiplication over time. Eventually, I aim to sell these animals and invest in acquiring goats. The proceeds from goat sales will serve multiple purposes, including supporting my child's education and bolstering my business ventures."

"As a teacher and a university student pursuing a degree in education, my main priority is to finish my studies to pave the way for a government job, which would be a source of great joy for me. In addition to my academic pursuits, I run a small fried chicken business to supplement my income and support my family. With this additional income, I've been able to make progress towards my dream of building a stone house for my family, and I've completed the exterior. Now, my focus is on saving up my transfers gradually to cover the expenses of completing the interior finishes."
