"Over the coming year, my aspiration is to solidify the foundation of my business. I am strategically mapping out the utilization of my upcoming third transfer to ensure that I can adequately stock my shop with a substantial inventory of goods. This forward-looking approach is pivotal in not only establishing my business but also in laying the groundwork for sustained growth and success. I am dedicated to making strategic investments that will contribute to the long-term viability and prosperity of my entrepreneurial venture."

"In our region, goat rearing proves to be a more lucrative venture due to its ease of management, resilience to drought, and self-sufficiency. Consequently, my objective is to increase the number of goats I own, establishing a more reliable source of income. To realize this aspiration, I intend to utilize the funds from the third transfer. I am sincerely thankful for the timely support that arrived when I needed it the most."

"The unconditional support provided us with the flexibility to enhance our lives, allowing us to allocate the funds based on our specific needs. Furthermore, the community engagement aspect was highly informative, providing us with crucial information on topics such as data fraud. This holistic approach significantly contributed to our overall positive experience with the program."

"My immediate focus is on securing a more comfortable sleeping space. I aim to switch to a decent wooden bed and a mattress, which would require at least $100. My current bed is made of sisal ropes and while I have survived sleeping on it for many years, it can be very uncomfortable to sleep on. Knowing that I cannot raise this amount at once, I have been contributing $20 each month to a merry-go-round club to receive a lump sum amount later that will allow me to buy the furniture."

"My mind is on acquiring a new bed. The sisal twined bed I've been using has worn out, and with no sisal plant available for replacement due to the prolonged drought, I aim to purchase a wooden bed with a suitable mattress, costing around $100. I contribute $10 every month towards a merry-go-round club to accomplish this goal. I pray that I will secure the necessary funds for this furniture."

"I currently save $10 monthly through a self-help group, intending to use these savings for the education of my three children and to invest in livestock, such as goats. As my husband faces challenges paying school fees due to the irregular nature of his income, I aim to actively contribute to support our children's education. Owning livestock is another goal, and I currently have two goats from the cash transfers. I am confident that owning a herd of livestock will not only provide additional income but also contribute to the education of my children in the future, as I can sell them to obtain funds."

"My current goal is to continue supporting the education of my three children. I am confident that through their education facilitated by the cash transfers, they will have better opportunities in the future, potentially securing jobs to support our family and alleviate our financial struggles. One of my children is set to join high school next year, and I aim to be financially prepared for the associated expenses, including admission fees, which can be quite expensive. I hope that the cash transfers will play a significant role in helping my son enroll and settle well in school."

"As the primary breadwinner for my family, I rely on various casual jobs such as charcoal making and house construction to support my wife and ten children. The cash transfers have significantly alleviated the burden on my shoulders, particularly in terms of providing for my family's education needs. Looking ahead, I aspire to continue supporting the education of all ten of my children. I pray that at least three of them will excel in their studies and secure promising jobs in the future. The success of these three children will not only brighten their futures but also uplift the entire family from the challenges we currently face. My ultimate hope is to eventually transition away from strenuous casual jobs and enjoy a more stable and comfortable life."

"Looking ahead, I aspire to build a separate kitchen structure. Currently, my house serves both as a sleeping space and a cooking area. Cooking with firewood in the house produces a lot of soot, posing health risks and causing dirtiness to my clothes and household items. I could estimate the cost for building a separate kitchen structure is estimated to cost approximately $150, and I hope to accumulate this amount through future cash transfers. Additionally, I aim to continue expanding my goat herd. Having already increased the herd to six goats through previous cash transfers, my objective is to reach twenty goats by the end of the transfer period. Rearing livestock will provide a sustainable source of income, allowing me to sell some of them to meet the future needs of my children and myself."

"In the coming year and beyond, I plan to continue investing in livestock. While I initially considered buying chickens, their vulnerability to diseases caused by the cold weather has led me to prioritize goats. My goal is to acquire three female goats that can reproduce. Over time, I plan to sell the offspring to meet my family's needs and support the education of my two children. In the future, even after the cash transfers have ceased, I will not have to go back to making charcoal as the goats will be part of my income sources."
