To achieve this, I plan to first focus on multiplying my goats and subsequently selling them one by one to fund the construction. Additionally, I will diligently save from my work as a motorcycle driver, maintaining steady progress toward my goals.The prospect of constructing a solid stone house represents a significant step towards achieving long-term stability and security.Through dedication and strategic planning, I am committed to realizing this dream and creating a space where I can thrive and flourish."

"Despite the challenges I have faced, I am determined to work hard and complete my studies. My ultimate goal is to join the Kenya Defense Forces, where I can serve my nation and contribute to its well-being.

I aspire to save enough and give back to my community, ensuring that others facing similar struggles have opportunities to thrive."

"I currently earn a living by hawking second-hand clothes, but my ultimate goal is to open my own shop. The relentless heat and exhaustion from walking around all day make it incredibly challenging to earn even $2 in a week. While I am grateful for having food on the table, recent times have been tough due to lack of customers. Opening a shop in town is my vision, as it will attract more customers and enable me to generate substantial profits. I plan to save enough from my merry-go-round contributions, believing that when it's my turn to receive the funds, I will be able to kick-start my dream business."

"As a mother of six children, I sell coconuts and charcoal along the roadside, as well as to shopkeepers who sell them on my behalf. My primary goal is to provide my children with a good life by ensuring their school fees are paid on time. I firmly believe in the power of education to pave the way for a brighter future for my children. Additionally, I aim to invest in a bull to harvest our land, ensuring an abundance of food for our family and creating opportunities for us to easily sell our harvest and have enough to eat as well."

"I am currently a student at a hairdressing college in Kajiado, pursuing further education to enhance my skills in hairstyling. I chose to enroll in college because I wanted to expand my knowledge and perfect my craft. While I already had some experience in making and styling hair, I felt that formal education would provide me with the opportunity to learn more and refine my techniques. I used my transfers to fund my education, and the decision brought me immense happiness. To manage the financial aspect, I discussed a payment plan with my school director and agreed to pay $10 each month. This arrangement allows me to pursue my studies without financial strain. Upon completing my course, my plan is to open my own salon. I am confident that this venture will not only allow me to further my skills but also provide me with a stable source of income. With my business up and running, I will be able to easily support my children's education and secure a bright future for us all."

"In my current work, I am engaged in selling and burning charcoal to sustain my family. Concurrently, I am nurturing four goats with the intention of increasing their numbers through breeding. This strategic move will facilitate the sale of some goats, enabling me to procure a dairy cow. With this acquisition, I aim to launch my own milk-selling business, catering to the needs of my neighbors and expanding my income streams. My goal is to secure a substantial profit, ensuring my children enjoy an uninterrupted education and fostering an improvement in our living standards."

"As a mother, I strongly believe in investing in the future of my children. Currently, I earn income by burning and selling charcoal. I currently have six goats, and my goal is to expand my herd to twenty-five. I am committed to saving enough from my work and also from my transfers in order to achieve this goal. I want to invest in goats so that whenever my children are sent home from school, I can easily sell them and be able to pay their school fees without any difficulties."

"I am currently unemployed due to the scarcity of rainfall, which has impacted my job of cutting trees. In response to this situation, I am considering starting my own shop where I will sell cakes, sugar, and flour. I find this venture promising because it's relatively easy to start and doesn't require a large capital investment. My primary motivation for pursuing this business is to ensure I can afford to pay my children's school fees without difficulty. To gather the necessary capital, I plan to sell my chickens after they hatch and also save enough from my transfers."

"I spent most of my transfer on my children's education because i have hope that they will support me tomorrow"

"After getting $450 from GiveDirectly, I decided to use it wisely. I used $260 to fence one acre of land for farming. This fence will keep wild animals away and protect my crops from risks. Then, I spent $40 on mango seedlings. Mangos grow well here, and there's a good market for them. Finally, I invested $120 in buying two sheep. I plan to take care of them so they can multiply, and I can sell them if needed in emergencies."
