"I want to achieve food security by the end of the year. I'm happy that we have had a lot of rainfall the last several months as it indicates our crops will grow well. Being able to provide food for my family means that I do not have to worry where our next meal comes from."

Kadii received a $25 tenth payment.
"In the coming year and beyond, I intend to purchase 31 pieces of iron sheets and timber in order to renovate my house's rooftop, which is old, dilapidated, and in poor condition. It also leaks uncontrollably when it rains, which is the most concerning situation right now. In the event of heavy rain, I may be forced to seek shelter elsewhere. To accomplish this goal, I intend to set aside a portion of my monthly transfer to purchase iron sheets. I will also purchase some goats, raise them, allow them to reproduce, and then sell them when I am ready to begin the renovation. As a result, by selling them, I will generate extra funds to help with the house renovation."

"I have a desire to construct a new house to replace my current damaged structure. The condition of the dwelling is concerning, as the building poles have rotten and can no longer support the weight of the mud walls. I need to have a safe and secure shelter for my family, one that can withstand the strong weather elements and provide a comfortable living environment. To fulfill this goal, I intend to allocate a portion of the cash transfers I receive toward saving for the construction of a new house. I am determined to work towards this goal and use the cash transfers as a stepping stone towards achieving it."

Dama received a $25 tenth payment.
"In the coming year and beyond, I plan to purchase livestock such as goats and poultry, raise them, and sell them to meet my financial needs. I am currently farming maize, and I believe I will have enough harvest to ensure food security in my household. Once the food problem is resolved, I will be able to use the transfer on other projects. I have wanted livestock for a long time, but I could not afford to buy any because of financial constraints. Owning livestock, such as goats, is a good and viable project for me that can assist me when I face a financial challenge."

"I am currently in my second year of high school, and my goal is to finish my studies without being interrupted due to lack of school fees. My parents are not financially stable enough to fund my education, so I rely solely on transfers to pay the fees on time. The program arrived on time, and I believe that by the end of it, I will have completed high school and will be ready to continue my education by enrolling in college. This is what I hope to accomplish in the coming year and beyond."

"After securing enough food from the bumper harvest, my primary aim is to make significant investments in acquiring various types of livestock, including goats and hens. This decision serves both as a future investment and a potential income source. In the event of unforeseen emergencies, I can sell some of the livestock to address the challenges that arise. As these animals breed and multiply, I can further expand my income by selling some of the offspring."
