"The memory of receiving the money is still vivid in my mind. After a tiring day of work on the farm, I was at home, taking a moment to relax when my phone suddenly rang. I eagerly checked and discovered that Segovia Technology had sent me money. The joy that washed over me was beyond words, and I immediately shared the wonderful news with my equally elated wife. Without wasting any time, we began planning how to make the most of the transfer now that we had the much-needed funds at our disposal."

"As I progress to receive my transfer, my goal is to save it in the merry-go-round. That will enable me to get some money that can help me to buy cows. I have been longing to keep livestock, which I could not do due to the financial constraint I have been experiencing. I hope to accomplish early next year because that needs about $300 that I can get based on my savings then."

"I pray that this planting season brings forth a fruitful harvest, and provides my family with food, as it will allow me to utilize the cash transfers for purposes other than food. After investing a significant part of the recent cash transfers in farming, I have high hopes for good returns. Having enough food will enable me to venture into livestock keeping, particularly goat farming. As I lack a reliable source of income, raising goats will create valuable wealth in the future. I can sell them to fulfill various household needs, including supporting the education of my three grandchildren."

"Due to financial limitations, I have been unable to fulfill my dream of owning a sewing machine to establish my own tailoring business. With the responsibility of taking care of my seven children and my husband's little income from charcoal making, saving for the machine has been challenging. However, since the cash transfers began, I have been able to save $10 per month through a self-help group to eventually purchase the equipment. I am grateful for this opportunity, as it allows me to work towards my aspiration. Even after the cash transfers come to an end in five years, I am confident that the sewing machine will serve as a valuable asset, enabling me to generate income and support my children's well-being."

"I would like to expand and improve my hairdressing business in the upcoming years. Currently, my salon lacks essential equipment such as hair dryers and blow-dry machines, which would enhance the quality of services I provide to my customers. Additionally, by bringing these services to my village, I can save people the inconvenience of traveling to distant towns for such services. To acquire these necessary items, I plan to set aside a portion of each month's cash transfers. I have confidence that the continued support of the cash aid will help me turn this dream into a reality and grow my business."

"I aspire to expand my farming operations and establish a goat investment business. By combining both endeavors, I aim to create a dual-income stream that brings financial stability and prosperity."

"I put the money I received from GiveDirectly to good use by investing it in my farming endeavors, which cost me $20. Additionally, I diligently took care of some outstanding fees for my children, amounting to $10. With the remaining funds, I made sure to provide nourishing meals for my family, while also setting aside a portion for future needs. By wisely allocating the funds, I not only bolstered my agricultural pursuits but also ensured a brighter future for my loved ones."

"My primary objective in livestock investment is to grow my herd significantly, enabling me to sell a portion and acquire bulls. These bulls will play a crucial role in facilitating the cultivation of my expansive farm, making the process more efficient. Additionally, I intend to generate income by offering land cultivation services to others. By cultivating the vast expanse of land at my disposal, I will ensure an abundance of food, which will free up my monthly transfers for alternative purposes. One such purpose is planning for the future education of my grandchildren."

"We bought food of $30, and we bought roofings of $60 to build our kitchenand we also bought a pig of $50 because we needed it and we also clothes to wear"

"As I continue to receive my transfer, my primary goal is to buy and keep goats. I do not have a single goat now since my focus has been to buy food for my family and to raise fees for my children. Raising a flock of goats will help me in case of an emergency. In addition, it will help to supplement my household income. As a result, I will not heavily depend on casual jobs alone."
