Charo
received a $24 tenth payment.
"I am intending to complete the construction of a four-room house for rental purposes in our trading center. This rental house has been under construction for the past three years, but progress has been slow due to a lack of sufficient financial resources. To fund the project, I resorted to selling some of my goats and milk from my cows, saving up to $50 each month. With the additional support I receive through the transfers, I have been adding to my savings and purchasing building materials like cement and river sand, which have helped propel the project forward. My intention is to dedicate my financial resources to this project because, once the house is completed and tenants move in, it will generate a steady income. As an elderly individual who spends most of his time at home without engaging in any income-generating activities, the home rental income will significantly contribute to fulfilling my needs and expenses. This project promises to secure a stable financial future for me and ensure a comfortable livelihood during my later years."

Zawadi
received a $24 fourteenth payment.
"My foremost objective by the year's end is to construct a new two-room house capable of comfortably accommodating all my family members. In conjunction with this house-building project, I am eager to make astute investments in acquiring livestock. The eventual multiplication of these animals will provide an additional source of income, complementing my current earnings from selling charcoal. By diversifying my income streams, I will attain financial stability and ensure that I can adequately support my family."

Sidi

"My objective for the remainder of this year and the future is to accumulate sufficient funds for constructing a new house. Throughout this rainy season, I have endured the challenges of dealing with a leaking roof, which has caused damage to some of my belongings. Additionally, I am concerned about the weak condition of the supporting poles, fearing that urgent action must be taken to prevent the imminent collapse of the house."

"Finally, a glimmer of hope emerges as we anticipate a bountiful harvest by the month's end. This long-awaited abundance promises to alleviate many of our challenges, particularly the hefty expenses incurred on purchasing costly food from stores. With this burden lifted, my intention is to save the surplus from the harvest and utilize it to provide a better education for my son.

Jumwa
received a $24 fourteenth payment.
"Prior to joining the program, I faced significant hardships as a result of going to bed on an empty stomach due to financial constraints that prevented me from purchasing food. However, my situation has taken a turn for the better thanks to the financial assistance received through the transfers. With this newfound stability, my primary objective is to leverage my improved circumstances by investing in livestock, which I believe will pave the way for financial security. By allowing the livestock to multiply, I can eventually sell some of them and generate a steady income from this investment in the times to come."

Mariam
received a $24 eighteenth payment.
"My objective for the near future and beyond is to achieve financial stability. It pains me deeply whenever I find myself unable to fulfill my children's basic necessities. This circumstance has sparked a strong desire within me to invest a portion of my income in purchasing goats. My plan is to let them multiply, and subsequently, I will sell some of them to acquire a dairy cow. The income generated from selling milk from the cow will provide us with a substantial amount of money to cover our daily expenses and support my family's needs."

Anderson
received a $24 sixth payment.
"With the anticipation of a bountiful harvest that will guarantee ample food security, the burdensome task of purchasing expensive food from shops will soon be eliminated. This upcoming abundance opens up an opportunity for me to channel my monthly funds into investing in livestock, particularly goats, which are known for their ease of rearing and cost-effectiveness compared to other livestock types. My primary goal is to acquire bulls for myself, which I plan to achieve by selling some of the goats. Having bulls on hand will significantly reduce my farming expenses as they will assist me in preparing and cultivating the land during the rainy season."
