"My aspiration is to establish a thriving venture selling fresh vegetables right from my home. Given my health issues, this endeavor aligns perfectly with my capabilities and allows me to contribute financially, especially as my son will be embarking on his college journey next year and the need for financial support becomes paramount. This endeavor not only promises a source of income but also brings the satisfaction of providing for my family's future."

"I was sitting in my humble house, seeking refuge from the blazing afternoon sun when my phone buzzed twice rapidly. Illiterate as I am, I turned to my granddaughter, who happened to be nearby and asked her to see what the commotion was about. With a bright smile, she shared the news that GiveDirectly had sent the first transfer of the money they promised us. A wave of joy washed over me, as I realized it was the largest sum of money I'd ever held at once."

"One sunny morning, I heard whispers of neighbors receiving their first transfers from GiveDirectly. Since we were registered on the same day, my curiosity got the best of me. I asked my grandson, who had come for a visit, to carefully inspect my phone for any notifications. As he peered into the screen, his eyes lit up, and a smile broke across his face. "Grandma," he exclaimed, "the money came in yesterday!" My heart soared with happiness. The burden that my son had carried for so long, struggling with sporadic jobs just to provide for us, suddenly felt lighter. I couldn't contain my joy and started dancing, grateful that this small lifeline had given my hardworking son a chance to finally take a well-deserved rest."

"My most cherished aspiration is to provide a comfortable and spacious home for my family. My current house simply cannot accommodate all of my children, who have had to share limited space at their elder brother's place for far too long. Come February next year, I am determined to kickstart the construction of a new home, a place where my entire family can live together under one roof. This project is not just about bricks and mortar; it's about creating a warm and nurturing environment where my children can grow and thrive."

"My most cherished aspiration is to witness the successful completion of my children's secondary school education and watch them embark on their chosen academic journeys. Their dreams and aspirations have always been my top priority, and I am committed to providing them with every opportunity and resource they need to excel. I look forward to supporting them in exploring their interests and passions, knowing that their accomplishments will not only be a testament to their hard work but also a source of immense pride for our entire family."

"My foremost aspiration is to finally own a pair of oxen through disciplined monthly savings. These sturdy creatures hold the key to transforming my farming activities, making them more efficient and productive. Furthermore, I intend to not only benefit personally but also contribute to the prosperity of my community by hiring out these oxen to friends and neighbors. This dual-purpose investment not only symbolizes progress in my life but also represents a bridge to financial stability, helping me support my family."

"To have finished renovating my house."

"One year from now, my goal is to ensure that all my children's education is sustained. By the end of this year two of them will be completing their current levels of education. I will then use part of the transfers to purchase a goat. This goat will serve as a source of income that will help cover the costs of the one who will be joining high school."

"I intend to engage in livestock farming, starting with the three chickens I already have, I plans to keep more poultry. Additionally, I currently own two goats and intend to acquire more to generate an income. I'm acquiring a dairy cow to also generate an income through milk sales since I have now completed my education. My long-term goal is to provide my mother with a better house. She is currently living in a small thatched roof house, I aim to build her a solid brick house. After accomplishing this, I plan to build my own home. Furthermore, I am committed to contributing to my mother's financial well-being by assisting with the payment of school fees for my younger siblings' education."

"I aspire to build my own house after residing in my son's house for the past six years due to the unfortunate collapse of my previous residence. Additionally, I am considering opening a retail stop to sell household goods since our village has a limited number of such shops. This venture would not only help lower my expenses but also generate an income. Furthermore, I intend to send my other child to college, as he has been home for more than five years due to financial constraints that prevented me from affording both of their education."
