"Receiving the monthly stipend is a tremendous financial relief for my entire family. As we look ahead to the coming year and beyond, my primary objective is to utilize these funds to ensure an ample food supply for our household, eliminating the need for us to endure hunger. In addition to purchasing food, a portion of the stipend will be allocated towards covering the school fees of my grandchildren. This will alleviate the burden on my son, who is currently facing challenges in securing employment and providing for his children's education."

"My primary goal is to provide a quality education for my six school-going children. Overcoming the financial challenges associated with their school fees payment has been a constant struggle for me. To achieve this, I am determined to allocate a significant portion of my monthly income towards settling their outstanding fees, ensuring that when the project comes to an end, I can look back with pride at the education I have provided for them."

"My goal is to establish myself as a reputable livestock keeper in the area. Through planning, I have already begun building my herd with the acquisition of five goats. However, my ambition is to expand my livestock holdings further. To achieve this, I have devised a strategy of purchasing at least one additional goat every two months, steadily increasing the population of my herd and bringing me closer to realizing my goal of becoming a recognized figure in the local livestock community."

"My ultimate goal is to provide a quality education for my five children. I have been facing financial challenges and getting money t pay for their school fees had been quite a challenge, though I wan to ensure that their learning journey remains uninterrupted. To achieve this, I am committed to utilizing every part of my monthly transfers to settle any outstanding school fees."

"I bought a cow first because I didn't have one. (I would have bought land if it was available at the moment)."

"One of my aspirations is to fix the deteriorated tin roof of our house, which allows water to enter whenever it rains. I would be thrilled to build an entirely new house that can offer a fresh and sustainable shelter for my family. In the next few years, I hope to construct a three-room structure with mud walls and an iron sheet roof. I am confident that with the cash transfers and the income I earn from my charcoal-burning jobs, I can work towards making this dream a reality."

"Looking ahead, my greatest achievement would be to complete the construction of my own house. I am thankful that the cash transfers have made this dream possible, as I would still be struggling to find shelter if it weren't for them. Through the savings accumulated from previous cash transfers, I was able to initiate the construction of the new house. As we speak, the builders are making progress, and I couldn't be happier. I am excited to have a place to call my own and the ability to lock it, ensuring the safety of my belongings. Living in someone else's house makes it difficult to have that sense of security because I never know when they might need to access the space. I long for the freedom and peace of mind that having my own house will bring."

"Given that my old house was destroyed by the recent heavy rains, my main objective is to secure a new house for my family. The urgency of this need has made it a top priority for me. Despite having a lofty goal, the constant struggle with hunger prevents me from allocating funds towards anything else. In the meantime, I built a temporary shelter using the iron sheets I had available before I fell sick and stopped working four months ago. With the ongoing planting season, there is hope for a successful harvest, which will enable me to use part of the cash transfers along with the small assistance from my daughter to build a more suitable and permanent shelter. My goal is to have a two-room house with mud walls and an iron sheet roof. While I would have preferred a house with concrete block walls, my financial reach does not allow for it at the moment."
