"My utmost priority is to guarantee that my children receive the education they deserve. With the monthly stipend, my primary objective is to cover their school fees and ensure they face no obstacles in their learning journey. Furthermore, alongside paying the school fees, I aspire to construct an additional dwelling that can accommodate all five of my children. Our current house is small and lacks sufficient space, making it imperative to create an extra room to accommodate their needs adequately."

"On my farm, I have recently cultivated maize, beans, and various vegetables. I have high hopes that by the end of August, I will have an abundant supply of food. This surplus will enable me to allocate my monthly stipend towards profitable investments. One of my primary investment plans involves acquiring livestock, specifically goats. Goats are known for their rapid reproduction, which makes them an excellent choice for investment. Their quick multiplication will yield substantial returns in a relatively short span of time. Additionally, in case of any unforeseen emergencies, I have the option to sell some goats and utilize the proceeds to support myself financially."

"I am in the process of constructing a new, larger house due to the poor condition and lack of space in my current home. I aim to have a spacious home that can comfortably accommodate my family of four and any visitors coming our way. At the moment, I have been purchasing building poles, and my current objective is to save enough money to acquire iron sheets and timber. My aspiration for the upcoming year and beyond is to achieve the goal of having a spacious house."

"I was helping a friend farm in another village when I received the money, I felt relieved because life wasn't that good at the time, I was so happy and came back home and told my wife about it. We waited for 3 days to withdraw the money as we didn't want to make mistakes."

"We now have a piece of land, where we shall relocate soon God willing. The school fees of my children has been cleared fully which was hard before I got the cash. .I believe I will have my own food from my garden majorly maize from the piece of land we have acquired with cash, the land is quite big to have a house in and even cultivate part of it for agriculture,this cash has begun my journey of life."

"We can sale our livestock when the Time is due and buy land in a safe place where we can relocate because where we stay is not a safe place for . before give directly cash came in.. there was no hope."

"I want to find a sustainable source of income that can continue to support our basic needs even after the cash transfers end. While I have been involved in charcoal burning to make ends meet, the income it generates is minimal and cannot meet my daily needs. Therefore, I am considering investing in livestock keeping, specifically goats. I believe that by rearing goats and allowing them to reproduce, I can sell them to generate income for our household expenses. This would provide us with a more stable and reliable source of funds."

"I look forward to venturing into agribusiness with the support of cash transfers. I plan to focus on raising cows and goats, which can provide a sustainable source of income for our family. Furthermore, the cows can also assist with plowing services, which will be beneficial for our farming activities. Additionally, during the rainy season, I intend to grow vegetables such as kale and tomatoes to sell. Having a diverse agricultural enterprise can help me generate more income and improve our financial situation."

"Joining hands with my daughter, I wish to contribute to the purchase of goats and establish a stable source of income. In the past, I used to rear goats, but due to prolonged drought, we lost most of our animals, and only four goats remain. It is my wish to revive my herd by purchasing more goats, but this can only be possible if we have enough food in the household. I pray for a successful harvest that will provide us with the means to invest in livestock rearing. Rearing livestock will be a better fit for me as it requires less physical strength and can provide a consistent means of providing for my family."

"Currently, my family stays in a one-room structure that serves as both a living space and a cooking spot. It does not provide sufficient space for my two children, husband, and three grandchildren. Therefore, my goal is to build a two-room house with mud walls and an iron sheet roof. This would allow us to utilize the existing structure as a dedicated kitchen area. To achieve this goal, I am saving gradually through a merry-go-round club and I am grateful that this saving progress has already enabled me to acquire four iron sheets as a starting point for the construction process."
