"I want to continue supporting the education of my two children, one in high school and the other in primary school. At the same time, I aim to build a new house since the current one has a damaged roof that leaks water whenever it rains. Fortunately, we recently harvested crops, easing our food concerns. As this alleviates the food constraints on the funds, I plan to use the cash transfers to address these two priorities of building a house and paying school fees. Additionally, if possible, I hope to start a business before the cash transfers end, one that can continue generating income even after the funds stop in the next couple of years."

"I'm grateful that the cash transfers enabled me to start a donut-making and selling business. I even built a stand where I sell these donuts from. My goal is to expand this business into a kiosk by the end of the cash transfer period. I plan to stock other fast-moving items like maize flour, soap, etc., which are in daily demand in most households in the village. The profits from this business will help me contribute more to my child's education and ease the financial burden on my husband."

"I'm determined to build a new house because the current one was damaged by heavy rains at the end of last year. It's starting to collapse, and the large holes in the mud walls make it unsafe to live in. Since building a new house requires a lot of time and materials, my family has been enduring cold nights in the damaged shelter. I would not wish this to last. That is why I've started saving money from the transfers to buy the necessary building materials, including poles and iron sheets. Thankfully, I'm a builder myself, so I can save on labor costs. I'm hopeful that we won't have to endure these conditions for much longer."

"I want to expand my goat herd; right now, I have four goats. Because I don't have a steady income, other than the monthly transfers, I believe that raising goats is the best way to build wealth to pay for my children's future school fees. I dream of all four of them going to university someday. As a widow, they rely on me, and I never want to let them down. I truly believe that growing wealth through raising livestock is the key to achieving this goal."

"I aim to keep raising goats because I do not have a stable income. I think it's the best way to build wealth for my family's future. Courtesy of the transfers, I started with four goats, and now I have six because they've multiplied. I plan to eventually start a business selling these animals when the herd grows. The money I will make from selling them will help pay for my three children's school fees, especially my oldest, who is in his first year of high school. I can also sell them if we need money for food."

"GD delivers whatever it promises"

"Bought livestock and paid school fees for children"

"It is unfortunate that we do not have stable source of family income. This makes me struggle to make ends meet. I am deeply in thought on how to clear school fees arrears for my son Stephen in Tengess secondary school and Mike in Kituro secondary school. It is also approaching planting season in our area and I am yet to prepare my land due to lack of capital to purchase farm inputs. This is giving me sleepless night, subsistence farming is our main family income and we are not yet ready for the season."

"My aspirations are deeply rooted in the steady growth of my livestock-keeping venture, particularly focusing on dairy cows. Investing in this endeavor isn't just about financial gain; it's about securing a brighter future for my children. By nurturing and expanding my dairy herd, I aim to generate a sustainable income stream that will enable me to afford the educational expenses necessary for my kids to thrive academically. I firmly believe that by providing them with quality education, they will have the tools to become responsible individuals poised for success in the future. Each calf born and each liter of milk produced represents not only a step towards financial stability but also a step towards realizing the dreams I have for my children's futures."

"After being displaced by flooding six years ago, I decided to borrowed land from a relative and constructed a simple structure for my family to live. With no reliable source of livelihood, I am only able to work from hand to mouth and as a result, I cannot save anything substantial in order to buy land and relocate. This meant that I had to continue staying in the borrowed land without doing anything useful as I am not allowed to carryout any development by the owner."
