"I hope to buy two dairy cows, to yield around 16 litres of milk every day, which I can sell at $0.8 per litre. I'm settling for two since their maintenance is costly and requires requires more attention. Additionally, I plan to own two male cows for ploughing purposes. Where I will be charging $25 for ploughing one acre of land, in a single day. Alongside these plans, I'm striving to save $5, so as to accumulate $15 by the end of the year so as enable my purchases."

"I'm optimistic about managing school fees with ease, which would give me so much joy. My plan involves purchasing a $45 goat for resale, then use the proceeds to acquire cows for higher returns to support my children's education. Currently our living conditions are not up to standard, we lack a proper kitchen. Cooking indoors using charcoal isn't ideal. With a two-roomed house and an exterior kitchen, we'd experience great comfort. Furthermore, I'm considering venturing into poultry farming for business to boost my income."

"I'm currently purchasing construction materials in bits. My children's house is too small, and constructing a more spacious one would be appropriate. With the plan in mind, I have identified pieces of iron sheets that would be needed each costing $13. My other goal is to ensure my children's school fees is paid without any difficulties. There was a period when my eldest daughter couldn't attend school for two months due lack of fees, and I am determined to prevent a similar situation from occurring again to any of my children."

"I am facing the challenge of having adequate funds to feed my family. I work so hard but yet I find it hard to get enough finances to feed my family and also meet the necessary needs of life."

"The challenge I face is flood of this place with water from the mountain which has destroyed crops like maize and beans, as well as my house in 2017. I live in fear that anytime the landslide mighty occur again and I have always desired to leave this place but due to unavailable funds, we are still living here."

"During the rainy Seasons, big stones fall off the mountain destorying crops and livelihood. And seeing this happen causes a lot of fear thinking any time it rains the same occurrence that happened in 2017 will happen again and I and my family are forced to stand outside the house until when it's stops raining. The rains have caused soil erosion leading to lack of food and Living in fear."

"In the upcoming years, my most significant achievement will be skillfully investing in the purchase of livestock through my incoming transfers. As the goat population multiplies, selling some of them will yield substantial profits. These proceeds will be instrumental in providing for my family's necessities. I am profoundly appreciative of the financial assistance from these transfers, as they are substantially enhancing the overall quality of my life."

"I greatly appreciate GiveDirectly for providing us with a substantial cash transfer that enabled us to invest in diverse ventures. This support has turned our dreams into reality; for instance, I was able to construct a kitchen, replacing the previous situation of cooking outdoors. Additionally, I successfully initiated a cereal business that is thriving. Nevertheless, I hope that the organization can consider extending their support through further transfers, as our needs continue to outweigh our resources."

"What stands out to me about GiveDirectly is their choice to prioritize female to be their recipients within households instead of men. This approach is smart because women usually have a deeper understanding of their families' needs, resulting in the funds being used more efficiently."

"Currently our house is in a bad state and the rainy season puts it at risk of collapsing. We are in the process of buying bricks and cement to construct a new steadier house. I intend to increase the number of goats. My goal is to later trade some of these goats for male cows. With this, I would rent them out for ploughing and generate an extra income. Ploughing an acre here costs $24, and I would focus on ploughing a total of two acres of land in a day. Lastly, my eldest child is in school and I have allocated a portion of my earnings towards saving for his education, and in addition to this ensure that all our other basic needs are met."
