"In the upcoming year, my goal is to expand my goat herd beyond the current eight. This investment holds significant promise as the goats, through reproduction, can not only augment my initial capital but also offer potential sales for meeting my future financial requirements. I am truly grateful for the financial assistance we've received, particularly during the extended period of drought, as it has greatly eased our financial struggles."

"Iron sheets, nails and timber because I plan a build a house."

"I was home in the morning farming. I was very happy because I had doubts. I first thought about buying land although the money wasn't complete."

"My profound dedication to education fuels my desire for my seven children to achieve the brightest possible future through learning. Witnessing their ongoing commitment to education will be the most significant source of pride for me in the years ahead. I hold a strong belief that they will not only secure a prosperous future for themselves but also lend their support in my later years."

"As my four children are gradually growing up, it's becoming less suitable for them to share sleeping quarters with me, as my need for privacy is not being met. My intention is to construct an additional room to provide separate sleeping spaces. Alongside this, I have aspirations to invest in acquiring livestock, which will serve as a valuable asset in the future for covering educational expenses for my children. I am sincerely thankful for the assistance we've received, which has ensured that my family never goes to bed hungry during times when we've had to purchase food at significantly inflated prices from local shops."

"As a parent, I deal with a lot of emergencies as the children are often sick. This usually forces me to dig into my business very often,m stagnating the business and preventing it from flourishing to something bigger. To put an end to this, I have decided that it would be wise to have a backup plan of raising money in such situations without having to affect my business. This will be through investing in livestock which can be sold during such moments and may also have the potential to reproduce if not sold for a while. Investing in livestock such as goats is much easier than keeping the money saved. The only way I can save consistently is through a savings group which would not be very flexible in releasing money in times of emergency, so a goat would be the possible options as it's easy to find a quick market when necessary. I am planning to make some savings to enable me purchase the goats as I am convinces this is my only way towards financial freedom. Some of the little needs will be taken care of with the little I earn from my grocery business which I will keep using the transfers to expand whenever possible."

"In the upcoming year and beyond, my foremost goal is to repair the deteriorating wooden door at my residence. Presently, it's in such a sorry state that it nearly detaches from its hinges each time it's opened. My intention is to replace it with a sturdy metallic door, one that can ensure the security of my property. Additionally, I aspire to expand my livestock by acquiring more goats in the coming years, in addition to the seven I currently own. I am profoundly thankful for the life-changing opportunity provided through the transfer I received, which has significantly improved my quality of life."

"Now that we have accomplished our goal of owning a piece of land, we can focus on how to develop the land or make proper use of it for the benefit of the family. My first aim is to heavily invest in farming which involve cultivation and animal rearing. I will start by buying a few chickens and later on move to bigger animals such as goats and eventually cows. This was not possible before when were still living in other people's land. How would one have the audacity to keep animals in other people's compound? It would be disrespectful. Animals are a good investment and I intend to keep as many as I can as the piece of land we own is big enough and there should be no problem finding grazing areas."

"In the upcoming year, my goal is to make a wise financial move by investing my funds in acquiring a herd of goats for breeding. I view these livestock as a shrewd investment for my future. As they reproduce, I plan to sell a portion of them, utilizing the proceeds to meet various needs, notably covering my children's school fees beyond the period of receiving financial assistance. I am genuinely appreciative of the support I am currently receiving, which is greatly contributing to an improved quality of life for me and my family."

"At the moment, I hope that I will manage to complete the course I am currently pursuing in carpentry and joinery without any hitches even though it is really tough having to completely rely on the transfers for all of my school and personal needs due to my parent's inability to support due to lack of income. I also hope to save whenever possible so that I can purchase a toolbox. This toolbox will be vital to my ability to earn from this course because once I have it, I can work as a mobile carpenter before setting a workshop of my own. My bigger goal however is to some day set up a workshop of my own, become self-employed and be able to support my family, especially my child who is currently under the care of her mother who left me due to my inability to provide for them."
