"Food insecurity is the challenge I am currently facing in life. My husband works at the coastal towns as a casual laborer earning very little income and sometimes he goes without any job. Whenever he goes without any work as a family we go without food. I am just a house wife doing domestic chores."

"Housing is the challenge I am currently facing in life. I am living in a one room house with my family and it is not spacious. The house leaks during rain season and it lacks privacy. I cannot even allow my relatives to visit me due to lack of enough accommodation."

"My goal moving forward is to accumulate a minimum of $50 in my savings group. I plan to use these funds to purchase cement to construct a concrete skirting around my house. Our current house has mud walls, which are not very durable, and I believe that adding concrete skirting will strengthen the foundation and protect it from damage in the future. After acquiring the cement, my further objective is to continue saving to accumulate money for other necessary building materials."

"My goal is to open a food stand in the nearest trading center. I've always aspired to start my food stand, but financial constraints have hindered me from doing so. Since I started receiving the cash transfers, I've been saving $10 through a self-help club. At the end of the year, I anticipate receiving a lump sum of cash from the club, which will enable me to establish the food stand. This represents a significant improvement from my current business of selling donuts. With the income from the new business, I hope to generate better profits to assist my husband in providing for the needs of our seven children."

"I plan to continue buying goats. I already have three goats from previous cash transfers. Accumulating wealth through goat keeping will ensure that my six children's school fees are covered even after the cash transfers have ended. Additionally, even in my absence, my wish is to have built enough wealth for my children to help them with their future needs, especially their school fees. Whenever I get an opportunity, I intend to use some of the future cash transfers to expand my livestock herd."

"My goal is to grow wealth through rearing goats. By the time the cash transfers come to an end, I wish to have a herd of at least 40 goats. I am grateful that so far I have eight goats purchased through previous cash transfers. Having a large herd of goats will guarantee me some form of financial security in the future, as I could sell them to pay for my children's school fees. Having four children and relying on a motorbike taxi rider business can be quite challenging. However, I believe that owning goats will alleviate some of the pressure that comes with providing for my family."

"My aim is to build a house for my three children. Currently, they live with their uncle because my house is too small to accommodate all seven children in the family. However, their uncle is set to get married towards the end of the year, which may make it challenging for my children to continue sharing a space with him. That's why I've been saving $10 from the monthly cash transfers for the construction of the new house. Early next year, I hope to receive a lump sum from the savings club, which will allow me to start buying the building materials for their new house. After completing their house, I plan to build a new house for myself as well. My current structure is in poor condition, with walls on the verge of collapsing and a corroded tin roof. When it rains, the space becomes damp and uncomfortable to stay in."

"Looking ahead, my goal is to build a new house. The current structure that my children and I occupy is a single room, which is too cramped for all of us. I have been saving some funds from the previous cash transfers whenever I get the chance, to build the new house. I anticipate receiving a lump sum of cash next year around April, and I plan to use that money to buy building materials for the new house. I also want to use some of the savings to buy at least two goats for rearing."

"My goals are twofold. First, I plan to continue supporting the education of my children through the incoming future cash transfers. Additionally, I aim to start building a new house. My current house has a grass-thatched roof, and the mud walls are caving in and almost collapsing. This has been a goal of mine from the beginning, and I have been using some of the previous cash transfers to buy building materials for constructing a new house. I also want to focus on buying goats to build wealth. With seven children and relying on casual jobs to make ends meet, rearing goats will guarantee some security for the future after the transfers have ended."

"My goal is to establish sustainable sources of income to continue providing for my family. I particularly wish to build a substantial herd of livestock, and I'm interested in goats. I'm confident that owning goats will help me accumulate wealth over time. I plan to sell some of them to support the education of my seven children. As I've already started buying chickens with the previous cash transfers, I hope to similarly save and accumulate enough money to acquire my first goat. Additionally, I aim to start a business selling vegetables in my village. The profits from this venture will further contribute to providing for my family."
