"I expect to save and start up a business to help in the generation of more income for my family. I believe that the restaurant business would do my family good in terms of generating daily income to help us improve our living standards. I also anticipate to save and pay school fees for my children so that they can have ample time studying in school."

"At the end of the six months, I shall have expanded poultry rearing to large scale by buying more poultry. I wish to also buy livestock that by that time shall have blossomed to a business. With the livestock, I believe my family will be more secure financially. By leasing more farms, we shall have ventured into large scale farming which will bring forth more harvest which we can sell to generate income for my family. By the end of these few months, I will be a proud full-time farmer."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months because I will have saved enough money to buy goats. I know Give Directly is almost finishing their project in this village and it is wise that I invest wisely. I think buying goats is a good idea because they have a high market demand. This will help me a lot since I am old and I am not strong enough to do casual jobs. I will be selling them in order to take care of my daily needs and also cater for my ever ailing body"

"In the next six months, I am not certain of what I will have achieved yet because as at today, I work as a house help to help me save more. I had to deffer my classes in order to raise more money for tuition fees. What I am sure about is that by next year, I will resume my classes because I am determined to complete the course."

"Not having a stable source of income is my biggest hardship. So severe is our situation of not being able to provide for our children's basic needs such that even building nor repairing my current house that was blown off by heavy winds around two years back has not been possible. The consequence of this has been my two children being forced to go seek shelter every night at their grandmothers which is also very cramped. When it comes to their schooling, of late I can hardly cope. Up to this far I have tried to ensure that they are not sent home but it is a big strain for me since it requires a lot of sacrificing on our other necessities."

"Receiving this money will enable me to fulfil my life time ambition of partaking a tailoring course so that I can become an independent professional. Before I got married, my father enrolled me for a tailoring course but when he realised that I was pregnant, he was so disappointed in me and stopped paying for my course.That was three years ago.Ever since then all my attempts to enrol back have proven futile.With this money, I see my dream coming true.I will finish my course and purchase the sewing machine and some other necessities that will enable me to set up my own tailoring business.With the rest I will complete building my house and also purchase goats for keeping."

"I expect to save towards buying building materials that I will use to plaster the walls of my house. I look forward to having a beautiful fully cemented house that will be envied with the entire of my village."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to buy a motorcycle with which I can offer boda-boda services as an income generating activity with which I can raise money to support my family. I also hope to buy a cow that will provide milk for my family and if there is any balance, I will buy food to feed the family. "

"I expect my life to change in the next six months because I will have saved enough money to buy another sheep. I have hopes that these sheep will change my life that is why I want to invest heavily in them. I am hoping that no financial need will come up and distract my plan. I believe that all will go well and life will be better through this investment"

"Receiving this money means I will be able to build a better house for my family. The one that I currently sleep in is dilapidated and I think it can fall at any time. I also hope to buy a cow that can reproduce and provide milk for my family. This will support me in proving for my children in future. I will be in position to sell off some and raise some money with which to take care of future eventualities. "
