"From the moment we enrolled until we were successfully enrolled, the organization flawlessly executed its operations. We were assured that the funding we received was unconditional, meaning we wouldn't have to repay anything. Right from the start, we were treated as valued individuals, and the level of service we received was exceptional. I am deeply grateful for the support we received during our time of greatest need."

"I pray that the current rainy season takes us to the harvesting time. Should we receive a good harvest from the farms, my goal would be to save my transfers and use them to boost my livestock farming venture. Now I have seven goats, and I long to buy and raise more goats. I value them because they are hardy and can withstand our varying weather patterns compared to sheep and cows. In addition, they are valuable and can easily fetch me some income in case of an emergency."

"I had already started a chicken-rearing project where I had already started with 6 chicken. My goal was therefore to have as many chicken as possible in the project, I would later sell some of them to venture into another project of rearing goats. To achieve this, I plan to buy at least a chick every month with the transfers that I would be receiving and upon multiplying, I would trade 6 chicken for 1 goat and have the two projects running."

"I am a teacher by profession; I did my certificate level but I had never gotten the opportunity to further my studies. My goal is therefore to have a diploma certificate. I plan to enroll for diploma classes in the next two years because I currently have a small child who I am still taking care of. I would therefore be saving part of my monthly transfers and together with part of the proceeds that we would earn from the sales of the vegetables."

"My main goal is to have a livestock-rearing project. With my previous transfers, I have managed for far to buy a few livestock and I still hope to have more. I would want to venture into such a project so that whenever I am faced with financial challenges, I would sell some and have enough money to cater to the needs. I plan to save part of my transfers and be buying the livestock after every two months."
