"My goal is to use livestock as an investment and a source of wealth. Currently, I already have three goats from previous cash transfers, and I aim to continue acquiring more until I have at least nine goats. After that, I plan to trade some of the goats for two bulls. These bulls will help with plowing activities on my farm and can also be hired out to assist others. Currently, I have to pay for plowing services, which can be expensive, but I hope to have my bulls in the future to provide this service even when I don't have money."

"My lifelong goal is to become a doctor, a career I'm passionate about and believe will provide me with a great opportunity to make a living and support my family. Currently, I am in my fourth year of high school, and I'm preparing for my secondary national exams next month. I hope to achieve an excellent grade that will secure me a place in a medical college. When I get there, I'll continue to rely on cash transfers to help pay for my college fees, just as they have been instrumental in financing my high school education."

"With the help of the monthly transfers, I've started saving $10 each month. My goal for the upcoming year is to enroll in a driving school and become a truck driver. I've seen my uncle make a decent living in this profession, and I believe it can provide a stable income for my family. Additionally, I'm determined to build a new house for my family. Our current home is too small. I want to provide them with a more comfortable and spacious house. The cash transfers have given me the hope and I'm excited to see where the next year takes me."

"I currently live in a dilapidated, old house in dire need of renovation. My objective is to embark on a gradual rebuilding process, starting with the roof. To achieve this, my first step is to purchase iron roofing sheets. Subsequently, I plan to acquire furnishings like beds and chairs. I will fund this endeavor through the income generated from my work and additional transfers. This transformation means that my family will soon have a place to call home, and I am truly grateful to GiveDirectly for making this possible."

"My primary objective for the upcoming year is to replace the rusty and leaky iron sheets on my current house, which have caused significant problems during rainy weather. I plan to allocate a portion of my income towards this endeavor. Accomplishing this goal will bring me immense joy, knowing that my family will finally have a secure and comfortable place to call home."

"My goal for the upcoming year is to accumulate savings and invest in acquiring goats, a venture I have found to be both worthwhile and promising in terms of potential profits . The recent rainfall in my area further assures me that there will be an ample supply of grass for them to feed on. I plan to utilize future transfers to finance this venture, especially now that the children have concluded their school term, allowing me to channel these resources into the goat farming project. I am profoundly grateful to this organization as their support has undeniably brought about transformative changes in my life."

"I am hopeful that our upcoming harvest will be bountiful, as this will pave the way for me to pursue my ambition of venturing into cattle farming. My plan is to accomplish this objective by selling my goats and using the proceeds to acquire cows, which I will raise and subsequently sell when they reach maturity. This livestock venture promises to significantly improve my income, providing much-needed stability amidst the unpredictable nature of casual labor jobs. I find great satisfaction in the progress I've achieved thus far."

"The arrival of these transfers fills me with a sense of contentment, knowing that they hold the key to resolving most of my challenges. My primary objective is to venture into livestock farming, with a particular emphasis on goats and chickens. I see this as a sound investment, with plans to sell them at a profit in the future. I'm committed to saving and judiciously utilizing my forthcoming transfers to turn this goal into reality. Establishing a stable source of income is not just a dream but a beacon of hope, providing me with the peace of mind that my family's needs will be well taken care of."

"My top priority is to venture into the rearing of egg-laying chickens, a step I believe will enhance my income and boost the stability of my business. Additionally, I aspire to construct a larger shed to house these chickens, ensuring they have ample space. I intend to utilize future transfers from GiveDirectly to realize these goals. I take great pride in reflecting on the progress I have made, all made possible through GiveDirectly's support. It has truly been a life-changing journey."

"My aspiration is to go into livestock farming, with a particular focus on goats. I plan to raise them with care and sell them at a profit once they reach maturity. This venture will serve as a contingency plan for unexpected emergencies, and I intend to utilize my savings to make this dream a reality. I'm delighted to note that my life has taken a turn for the better. I can now comfortably afford food and cover school fees, which was a challenge in the past. GiveDirectly has not only brought hope into my life but has also positively impacted my entire community."
