"My family and I currently reside in an unfinished house, posing safety concerns. As the year draws to a close, my goal for the upcoming year is to complete the construction of my house. I intend to utilize subsequent transfers and savings from my casual jobs to cover the associated costs. Achieving the completion of my house holds great significance as it ensures my family will have a secure and stable living space, filling me with a profound sense of accomplishment."

"My primary objective is to provide education for my children, guiding them through to college level. I firmly believe in the significance of education, viewing it as the key to securing good jobs and ultimately fostering a better future. To ensure my children have the necessary funds to achieve this goal, I plan to save upcoming transfers. I am grateful for the support provided by GiveDirectly in facilitating my children's education, and this assurance allows me to believe in a brighter tomorrow for them."

"In the upcoming year, my aim is to purchase a goat that I will raise, viewing it as a valuable investment. The intention behind acquiring the goat is to have a potential asset that can be sold, particularly if the need arises to cover school fees for my children. To realize this goal, I plan to save subsequent transfers, allowing me to gradually work towards acquiring the goat. The prospect of achieving this goal brings me a sense of satisfaction, as it signifies the positive changes in my life."

"In the upcoming year, my objective is to acquire my own sewing machine. Presently, I rely on a borrowed one, which can be inconvenient when the owner requires it, and I have pending work to deliver. I have diligently saved a portion of my transfers to achieve this goal, and I am happy to announce that I am close to getting the required amount to make the purchase. Possessing my own sewing machine will significantly enhance my ability to work and deliver to clients promptly, ensuring a consistent and guaranteed income. This prospect brings me a great deal of fulfillment, as it marks a significant step towards greater independence and efficiency in my profession."

"In the upcoming year, my main goal is to establish a dedicated shop for my business, as I currently operate out of my house. I plan to purchase a plot where I can set up this shop, utilizing both future transfers and my savings to bring this objective to fruition. The establishment of this venture is poised to enhance the well-being of my family, providing a source of stability that brings me both peace of mind and a profound sense of fulfillment. I am content with the progress I have achieved in my life, and I eagerly anticipate the realization of this significant milestone in the year ahead."

"In the upcoming year, my primary objective is to construct a larger house, as the current dwelling is insufficient to meet my needs. Simultaneously, I aspire to acquire an additional two acres of land for agricultural purposes. To facilitate these goals, I plan to join a savings club, allocating a portion of my transfers towards their realization. Reflecting on my journey thus far, I am filled with a profound sense of fulfillment and happiness. The transformation in my life is evident, and I can now confidently assert that achieving these milestones, which once seemed uncertain, has become a reality."

"Upon completing my studies, my aspiration is to enlist in the military, a pursuit that holds deep personal significance for me. The prospect of serving and protecting my country brings a profound sense of fulfillment. The current financial assistance I am receiving is instrumental in advancing me toward this goal, particularly by enabling me to complete my secondary school education—a prerequisite for joining the armed forces. I am genuinely grateful for the assistance GiveDirectly has extended to both my family and me, recognizing the pivotal role it plays in paving the way toward my aspirations."

"For my upcoming transfers, I have decided to allocate the funds towards purchasing new sets of clothing. This will not only enhance my appearance but also provide me with additional options beyond my current wardrobe. I am deeply appreciative of the financial support that has enabled me to cover my school fees over the past two years. This money will continue to be instrumental in supporting my education in the future as well."

"My new goal is to venture into livestock keeping, by raising more goats and engaging in poultry farming. I am motivated to pursue this path because I recognize the potential these ventures hold in terms of generating income for my family, especially during emergencies. Currently, I have three goats, but my aspiration is to expand my herd to over 20 goats. This is because goats are considered valuable assets and are highly sought after in the market due to their high demand. By increasing the number of goats in my possession, I aim to maximize the financial benefits they can provide. I am also interested in poultry farming as it presents another opportunity for income generation."

"Despite residing in a two bedroom house, I currently accommodate both my two daughters and two sons. However, due to my husband's absence for work, my sons spend in one bedroom while my daughters share the other with me. To break this arrangement, my new goal is to construct an additional bedroom for my daughters. I am optimistic that this goal can be achieved next year. By providing a separate space for my daughters, I aim to enhance their privacy, comfort, and overall well-being within our home. This expansion project holds great significance for our family and will contribute to creating a more suitable living environment for everyone."
