"My plan is to build a decent iron-roofed house once I have all of the necessary construction materials, such as iron sheets and building poles. After years of living in a thatched grass hut, my ambition is to live in a dignified home with a sturdy iron roof. The current hut's deplorable condition, exacerbated by its vulnerability to leakage during rainfall, has turned daily life into a constant struggle. The necessity of regularly replacing the grass roofing has proven to be both time-consuming and burdensome. I am overjoyed because I have already obtained ten iron sheets, which represents a significant step toward realizing my goal of establishing this new house. This achievement has been made attainable through the accumulation of monthly contributions. With these preparations in full swing, I am enthusiastically anticipating the project's commencement at the earliest opportunity, with the objective of providing our family with a respectable and comfortable dwelling, even in my advanced years."

"By the year's end, my paramount achievement will involve the construction of an additional room tailored to accommodate my children. Presently, three of my children are compelled to rely on the hospitality of relatives due to the cramped confines of our one-room dwelling. My strategy involves procuring iron sheets to serve as roofing material. The prospect of realizing this aspiration fills me with immense enthusiasm, envisioning a future where my entire family can share the same shelter and sleep under a single roof."

"Thanks GD for supporting him. He had never received Shs 7000000 He prays God blesses GD family to continue helping more"

"In the coming year and beyond, my aspiration is to become a livestock owner, particularly raising goats and turkeys. My health has been in decline due to epilepsy seizures, impacting my ability to work and provide for myself. As a result, meeting my own needs has become challenging. My mother, a single parent, has been shouldering the responsibility of caring for both me and my mentally unwell brother. Her resources have been significantly drained due to the absence of any income that could have alleviated our financial burdens. Acquiring livestock holds a crucial significance for me. It would grant me access to tangible assets that I could readily rely upon during financial uncertainties, such as covering my medical expenses. This will reduce the need for constant reliance on my parents' assistance, as I will have the option to sell the livestock to address my financial requirements."

"Lack of reliable source of income is the challenge I am currently facing in life. My husband and I does casual jobs earning very little income which cannot sustain the family for a whole month. This has caused my children to miss classes due to lack of school fees and also go without food."

"Having previously managed a modest grocery business that provided a slight financial cushion, I have navigated the challenge of sustaining my family of nine with their daily needs. The situation improved significantly upon receiving the recent transfer, granting us relief. In our financial planning, we allocated some money to purchase a sack of maize and 10 kilograms of beans, totaling $90. These provisions have been supplemented by the proceeds from the small shop I have been operating. I had been struggling with the task of enclosing my compound with fencing, and the transfer enabled me to acquire the final chain link for $24, effectively securing my land against livestock intrusion. This safeguard has paved the way for improved farming conditions, assuring the safety of my crops. Furthermore, I allocated $50 for my son's secondary school fees, allowing him ample time to prepare for his final exams alongside his peers. I spent the remaining $31 on essential household items, some of which continue to serve us to date."

"In the coming year and the years to follow, my aspiration centers around the transformation of my current house. The state of my house is deplorable, characterized by its small size and imminent risk of collapse. With the assurance of receiving consistent monthly transfers, I am determined to embark on the process of renovating it. To commence this endeavour, I am committed to setting aside a portion of the transfer in order to procure essential building materials such as iron sheets and building poles. Renovating it will provide a sense of security, shielding us from the ravages of rain and other adversities."
