"Currently, I have two major goals that I would love to start actioning on very soon. First, I would like to expand my current butchery shop. I am a member of our local merry go round group and it will be my turn to receive some funds( a sum of $150) before the end of this month. I am planning to use these funds to expand my shop as these will lead to an increase in my daily profits. This is because I'll have more customers and my daily sales will increase. I'll be saving my daily proceeds so that by next year May, I will use my profits to achieve my second goal of joining college. I recently applied for a course in orthopaedic and trauma in my dream college and I got a vacancy. I was to join during September in take but due to lack of finances, I had to defer until next year May. I believe that by then, I will have saved a good amount from my transfer and business so that I can use in paying for my school fees."

"My major problem currently is capital otherwise, it has always been my dream to expand my poultry project buy buying more hens since it is a project that I can manage with less struggle. I depend mainly on building houses for people to earn a living. The pay is not lucrative and I have six children in school. Paying their school fees on time while making sure my family gets their basic needs has been next to impossible most of the time. Currently, I do not have money to achieve my dream of expanding the poultry project but I believe that I'll be able to with time."

"My phone was with my trustee when the money came in, he told me and I was excited."

"I am now going to be a landlord to the place of where I do business from. I will not be paying rent."

"I was at home and I felt a lot of peace, the first thought was to buy a cow"

"The diet has improved because they can afford 3 meals aday"

"As of next year, I hope to have accumulated enough building materials to begin constructing a one-room structure for myself. My brother has graciously accommodated me in his house for a long time, but with the cash transfers, I see a chance to have my own space and provide my brother with more privacy. After completing the house, I plan to focus on expanding my livestock venture. So far, I've acquired seven goats from the cash transfers, and my goal is to continue growing this number. In the future, these animals will serve as a crucial source of income for my family and personal needs."

"In the coming year and beyond, my goal is to build a more spacious house. The current one-room structure is too small to even fit my bed properly. It is also in poor condition and on the verge of collapsing. I aspire to construct a two-room brick-walled and tin-roofed house, estimated to cost at least $2000. Given uncertainties about my motorcycle taxi business generating enough income, my strategy is to continue investing in goats. I aim to let the herd reproduce, and in the future, selling some of them will fund the construction of my dream house. I have so far bought twenty goats from the cash transfers. "

"As I stand on the threshold of new beginnings after completing high school, my sights are set on a venture that holds promise and potential: a business selling vegetables. The idea of cultivating and selling fresh produce excites me, offering a chance to channel my energy and enthusiasm into something meaningful. With college on the horizon, I see this business as more than just a means to financial stability; it's a stepping stone toward independence and learning the ropes of entrepreneurship. I envision this next year as the foundation for my journey, where I'll sow the seeds of a successful vegetable business while preparing to embark on the academic path ahead. This venture isn't just about selling vegetables; it's about nurturing growth, both for my future business and my personal development as I stride into the next chapter of my life."

"In the upcoming year and beyond, my primary objective is clear: I want to raise more cash to ensure the education of my children. They are not just my pride; they are my sole hope for a brighter future. Education is the key that unlocks opportunities, and I am determined to provide my children with the best chances in life. Every extra penny I can raise will go towards securing their education and investing in their potential and dreams. As I embark on this journey to accumulate the resources needed for their schooling, my motivation is unwavering. In their success lies the fulfillment of my deepest aspirations, and I am committed to doing whatever it takes to see them thrive."
