"Having achieved the goal of building a house and acquiring proper bedding with the help of previous cash transfers, my next focus is on acquiring livestock. Specifically, I am aiming to buy a female goat, as I believe it will reproduce and help expand my wealth. In the past, I could not save up for livestock because I was prioritizing building the house and meeting other immediate household needs like food and school fees. Now that the house is complete and we have a harvest coming in from our farms, I see an opportunity to invest in goats. I am hoping to buy at least three goats and let them reproduce."

"My immediate goals are to establish a business and acquire a goat. Currently, I possess two goats, and I aim to increase this number to at least four. I also aspire to launch a vegetable-selling venture. This business would not only contribute to the household income but also provide a sustainable source of revenue even after the cash transfers cease. Given my current financial constraints, I am optimistic that by consistently saving from the transfer funds, I can turn these aspirations into realities. With the savings, I hope to gather the necessary resources to achieve these goals."

"Upon the arrival of my transfer, I deliberated on utilizing the funds to obtain a goat, a prudent choice that not only secures the money but also offers an appreciating investment. As a result, I invested $38 in acquiring a goat and spent $92 funds towards purchasing building materials, aimed at constructing a more durable house to replace the grass thatched one I had been residing in. Financial limitations had previously posed obstacles to achieving this. My livelihood primarily relies on casual labor, harvesting honey, and vending charcoal. Being single, my financial responsibilities are solely my own. I am sincerely thankful that I am now the owner of a goat, marking a meaningful step forward."

"Currently, my focus is on expanding my goat herd and continuing with rearing. I have already managed to acquire three goats through previous transfers. While I would have loved to start a business that could generate income even after the cash transfers end, my time is mostly occupied with tending to my livestock in the field and other household tasks. My primary aim is to grow my goat herd and build more wealth. I hope that by doing so, I can sell these animals in the future to cover various household needs, including supporting the education of my five grandchildren."

"I aspire to build a better and more dignified living space for my family. Currently, our house has a grass-thatched roof, and I would like to upgrade it to a structure with a tin roof. I have concerns about the long-term durability of the grass-thatched roof on my house, which could potentially lead to leakage issues. This is why I aspire to own a house with iron sheets, as they are more reliable and less prone to deterioration over time. And, this would greatly improve our living conditions. To achieve this goal, I am focusing on my chicken-rearing efforts. I currently have three breeding chickens, and once their chicks mature, I plan to sell them to obtain funds for building materials to improve our home."

"From the outset of the program, we were treated with utmost respect and received exceptional service. The sensitization meetings provided us with a thorough comprehension of the program's goals and intentions. The entire process was conducted transparently, without any instances of deceitful behavior. In summary, I am highly content with the quality of service from the organization, and no unexpected problems arose."

"I aspire to start a kiosk business at our home and also engage in livestock rearing, particularly goats. Currently, my husband is the primary provider, working in house construction to support our family. During the rainy season, I take on farming responsibilities to ensure we have enough food. Establishing a kiosk business and raising livestock would give me a source of income that can continue to financially support our family's needs even after the cash transfers come to an end. I hope that the funds I receive from Give Directly are going to open these doors for me and allow me to contribute to the household."

"In the upcoming year and beyond, my goal is to initiate a goat rearing project and secure funding for my children's university fees. It's challenging to make plans without immediate funds, but I hold hope that my children will find employment and eventually assist me. Most importantly, I feel a deep sense of contentment and gratitude for what I have accomplished thus far."

"I aspire to venture into livestock rearing, which I believe will contribute to my financial growth. Currently, I have nine goats, and I am determined to continue expanding this number. This effort aligns with my goal of building a stable source of wealth for my family's better future. For so long, my family has been depending on my son, who works as a hawker. Owning livestock will allow me to contribute to the household's needs as well as lift the weight off my child's shoulders."

"Receiving my second transfer from GiveDirectly prompted me to allocate the funds towards procuring building materials for the construction of a decent house. This decision stemmed from the fact that my current dwelling was in a deteriorated state, being composed of grass and mud. Financial constraints had previously prevented me from building a more suitable home. As a farmer, married, and blessed with three children, I understood the significance of enhancing our living conditions. Consequently, I used $350 towards the construction of iron sheets house, signifying a significant investment in this endeavor. I also set aside $10 for farming purposes. The support provided by GiveDirectly has profoundly impacted my life, exceeding even my highest expectations. The chance to invest in a new home has brought immense relief, and I am genuinely appreciative of the assistance received and the transformative change it has brought to my life."
