"My primary objective is to extend a section of my house and build additional rooms. Our current residence is insufficient for all of us, and it would bring me tremendous joy to see that we are all comfortable. I'll utilize my tentative transfers for this because I no longer need to buy food as we had a bountiful harvest."

"What I hope to accomplish in the coming year and beyond is to construct a permanent residence for my family. We currently reside in an old mud-thatched house that could be demolished if we encounter bad weather. I have set aside a portion of my earnings and transfers to help me reach this objective. I am pleased to say that I have also begun purchasing building materials and I hope to start construction in October. Getting a new home means that I will be leaving behind a secure dwelling and a legacy for my family."

"My current objective is to focus on my children's education, and I am eager to allocate a significant portion of my funds to support their schooling. In order to turn this aspiration into a reality, I intend to invest in livestock as well. The idea is that as the livestock multiply, I can sell a portion of them and utilize the proceeds to cover my children's school fees. To ensure the long-term sustainability of this venture, I plan to reinvest in young goats so that the livestock numbers continue to grow consistently."
