"My main goal is to have a big livestock-rearing project. With my previous transfers, I have been buying livestock for rearing and I would still want to buy more and have at least 20 livestock so that in case the project comes to a halt, I would have something in place to help me generate some income to support my family. To achieve this, I would be saving part of my monthly transfers and ensure that after every two months, I buy at least one livestock worth $12 or $15 depending on the size."

"I had been using part of my previous transfers on buying livestock (goats) for rearing and so far because I would want to rear as many livestock as possible. My goal is to have at least 10 goats and in order to chive this, I would be saving part of my monthly transfers and after every two months, I would ensure that I have the required amount since a goat costs around $30-$35."

"My main goal is to see my children go to school until they complete their high school education without facing the challenges of being sent home for school fees. To achieve this, I would ensure that I save every part of my monthly transfers so that whenever there would be school fees need, I would not have to struggle as I had done before."

"My family is not financially stable and owing to the fact that I have a child whose father is never supportive, I would want to carry on with my chicken-rearing project and be one of the prominent farmers in the area with the main goal of having enough money to educate my child who had not yet started school so that I do not struggle with his education."

"I have a family of six, and with the growing population and the two-roomed house that I currently live in is getting smaller. My goal, therefore, is to build another house for my wife and I and leave the current one to my children so that we could get enough space. In case I am done paying the debts, I would channel all the income I get from the motorbike to my house construction."

"My goal is to set up my own business. After I shall have completed my tailoring course, I would not like to be employed by someone else and instead, I would want to set up my own tailoring sh and be my own boss. With the transfers that I would be receiving, I would ensure that I buy livestock every month and sell them in the future to get the start-up capital of $30."

"As I said I am a local food seller and I make and sell food for a living. I do not have a permanent location to which I work and this means I do most of my work along the roadside most times. My hope is to stabilize my business and expand it. I want to add Groceries to my current portfolio of things I sell. I want to increase my income as this in turn means I will be able to get enough cash to educate my child and provide food for my home."

"My goal is to become an animal farmer and I also wish to get a new house. My house has over time fallen apart and this has been quite a stressing thing. One of the wall came apart and this has exposed the house to leaking and entry of insects such as mosquitoes, especially during the rain, and wind in the night. I would like for my family to have better living quarters. My husband and I are both receiving Givedirectly transfers we plan to pull the money together once we harvest so we can save towards building a new house. I am also aiming to buy a number of additional animals to increase my flock."

"I planted some maize and green grams in April which I am looking forward to harvesting. My hope is that this maize and green grams will be sufficient after harvesting to feed the family so that I can redirect the money for food in purchasing livestock. I would like to keep livestock due to their being very easy to multiply and once they are in sufficient numbers I can sell and make a profit. Some of this money will be used to build my house. My roof has been falling apart as it is an old corrugated iron roof which needs repair as its almost falling off. I am saving from my earnings to ensure I have a sufficient amount to build the house."

"My goal is to ensure I clear school. My parents are farmers and do not make much I depend on my siblings for financial support, they too have their families that depend on them. I want to be able to achieve independence. With this skills as a hair stylist and a beauty professional I can open my own place where I will provide this services and get paid for them. This will allow me to become self sufficient and even help my parents with their needs."
