"I spent on buying some agricultural inputs, and saved 2 millions for buying land soon"

"The impact of the transfer has indeed been transformative, offering a pathway to fulfil longstanding desires and markedly enhancing the quality of life for my family. Throughout my marriage, financial constraints resulting from our reliance on casual farm work have hindered our ability to afford even the most basic comforts. The discomfort of sitting on handmade benches inside our home serves as a constant reminder of the challenges we face. Our daily income, a mere $3 earned through labour on others' farms, has proven woefully inadequate to meet both our immediate needs and our aspirations for a better life. Receiving the transfer was like a beacon of hope. I directed $140 towards acquiring essentials—a three-seater, crucial utensils, and a mattress. These have brought tangible improvements to our living conditions and also introduced a profound sense of comfort and dignity into our home. I used the remaining funds to purchase dry maize for my family of eight. This decision was informed by the fact that I did not practice any farming this year as I had leased out my only acre of land to raise funds for the education of my four children in public primary school. The relief and gratitude in knowing that they now have ample food to eat adds another layer of significance to the positive impact of the transfer."

"Was stuck in life, now operating a saloon in bubita Town Council"

"Bought land, and cleared some debt for the cow"

"Was doing badly financially, didn't have a cow, but bought one and bought iron sheets"

"Upon receiving $200 I used $75 in my which was untouched due to lack of finances. Finally, I had the means to tend to it. With $45, I secured a plow, breaking the earth. The remaining $30 was devoted to maize seeds and planting. This was meant to sustain the future of my family of six which has been a constant worry. Our unreliable income from selling firewood and charcoal barely covered our needs. Maize felt like security, promising a harvest that would ward off hunger. Then, there was the house. Its mud floor proved no match for the relentless ant armies. They invaded, threatening the very structure and our few belongings. With $64, I purchased cement bags to change the state of the floor so that Ants would no longer reign supreme. As for furniture, a solitary chair bore witness to our struggles. I resolved to change that. Three plastic chairs found their way into our humble abode, a modest but significant improvement at $18. With the remaining $43, I secured food which brought relief, our children could find food on the table. The weight lifted off my shoulders and For the first time in a while, hope found its way back into our lives."

"I bought iron sheets, bull, fertilizer for my garden and have saved some."

"I'm determined to embark on a poultry farming venture. The weather conditions are promising and, more importantly, conducive for such an endeavor. I've been planning meticulously, and next year, I'll put my plans into action. Establishing a poultry farm not only aligns with my passion but also presents a profitable opportunity. I'm optimistic that with dedication, hard work, and the right approach, I can build a successful and sustainable business. This venture isn't just about financial gain; it's about contributing positively to the community and creating a livelihood that aligns with my values and goals."

"Looking ahead to the coming year and beyond, I aspire to acquire my fishing equipment. Despite relying on fishing as my main source of income, I have been sharing equipment with my father, creating inconveniences and limiting our fish yield. To purchase new equipment, I estimate that I will need at least $90. Despite the financial constraints and significant responsibilities of providing for my eight children, I remain hopeful that I can save and accumulate this amount in the near future."

"Looking forward to the beginning of next year, my goal is to initiate a defined savings project for the education of my nine children. Given that most of them are still in primary school, there is a long journey until they complete their secondary education. I aim to set aside a portion of the cash transfers to cover any outstanding school balances or unforeseen expenses. Additionally, I aspire to start a venture in poultry and goat rearing. Currently, I have only one chicken, as financial constraints, such as school fees, hindered me from acquiring more. With the school holidays underway, I see an opportunity to expand my poultry and goat holdings."
