"My ultimate goal in owning livestock is to acquire bulls that will help me plow my 10-acre piece of land. Currently, I spend a lot of money hiring a tractor to plow, but once I have bulls, I can save that money and make farming more affordable. To achieve this goal, I plan to use the money from my transfers in the coming months to purchase more goats. Once I have enough goats, I will trade them for the bulls I need. I am very happy and appreciative of the financial support, which is helping me achieve my goals and create a better future for my family."

"Looking ahead, my goal is to invest in livestock. This is a smart investment for the future, as once the livestock multiply, I can sell some to generate income and take care of my needs. To achieve this, I plan to save a portion of my transfers in the coming months and use those savings to purchase livestock. I am deeply appreciative of the financial support, which has been a lifeline for me and my family during these challenging times."

"In the coming year and beyond, my goal is to invest my future transfers in purchasing livestock. Livestock is a smart investment for the future, as it can provide a steady income once the financial support from Give Directly comes to an end. As the livestock multiply, I will be able to sell some and generate money, creating a reliable source of income. This will also serve as a fallback plan in case of any emergencies.To achieve this goal, I plan to join a savings group and start saving money every month. Once I’ve accumulated enough, I’ll use it to purchase the livestock. I am truly appreciative of the financial support, which has been instrumental in helping me meet my family’s needs and work toward a more secure future."

"Looking ahead, I have several goals for the coming year and beyond. My top priority is to start and complete the construction of our two-room house, which will provide more space for me, my husband, and our four children. Our current one-room home is too small for all of us. I also plan to continue saving more money in the savings group to eventually purchase more livestock and restart my vegetable business once the rainy season returns. I am deeply appreciative of the financial support, which is helping me work toward these goals despite the financial challenges we face."

"Looking ahead, my goal for the coming year is to purchase a new mattress. While I now have a wooden bed, the sisal twine mattress I currently use is still uncomfortable. A new mattress will greatly improve my sleep and increase my comfort. I plan to use my next financial transfer to achieve this goal. I am deeply thankful for the continued financial support, which is helping me not only reach some of my personal goals but also provide for my family's basic needs."

"Looking forward, my main goal for the coming year and beyond is to ensure that my family is well-fed. I plan to use future transfers to purchase food for them. Another important goal is to ensure that my children continue their education and receive the best opportunities possible. The financial support will be essential in helping me cover their school fees. I am deeply thankful and appreciative of the transfers, as they have not only helped me take care of my family but have also made it possible to work towards a better future for my children."

"Looking ahead, I have a piece of land, and my goal is to build a house on it. Over the next year and beyond, I plan to purchase building materials and start construction. To make this happen, I will save part of my future transfers and set that money aside for the materials. I also plan to put away some of the profits from my business to contribute towards this goal. I’m incredibly thankful for the financial support, as it has allowed me to take care of my family with ease and improve our quality of life."

"Looking ahead, my goal for the coming year and beyond is to consistently pay for the solar lighting system. This will allow me to continue enjoying reliable lighting at home. I no longer have to buy expensive kerosene for lanterns, and the solar system has given me the added benefit of watching the news on the television that came with it. With no steady job, the financial support I receive will be crucial in helping me meet this goal, as I plan to use part of the money to cover the daily fees. I’m extremely thankful for the financial assistance, which has been a lifeline for my family."

"The biggest difference since I started receiving cash from GiveDirectly is that I can now see both my children and my mother happy, healthy, and comfortable. Before, I constantly worried about having enough food at home and about my mother’s struggle with her old, uncomfortable crutch. Now, with GiveDirectly’s support, I’ve provided food for my family, allowing me to focus on other needs and bringing peace to my household. I’ve also managed to service my motorbike, ensuring it’s reliable for earning our daily income. But what means the most to me is seeing the joy and relief on my mother’s face after receiving a new crutch, and knowing my children are well-fed and cared for. This support has brought a new level of security and happiness to my family that I couldn’t provide before."

"I was at home in the morning, still lying in bed, when I decided to check my phone. As I looked through my messages, I saw one from GiveDirectly, telling me that I had received $200. My heart filled with joy and excitement! I immediately shared the news with my husband, who was also thrilled. The first thought that came to my mind was to use this money wisely and make it last. I thought about what we needed the most, and I quickly decided to buy livestock. This way, we could have something to rely on, especially during hard times, and it would help us provide food and income for the family."
