"At the moment, I do not have any formal engagement. I am always at home while my husband does a motorcycle taxi business. With continuous transfers, I aspire to raise goats and poultry. I consider livestock keeping an investment that I can look after when at home. In the long run, they can turn out to be more beneficial. The poultry will offer me both food and cash benefits if I sell some. I only have one goat now, although goats are valuable and can contribute to my well-being. They will help me post GD transfers."

"My home's roof is weak and on the verge of collapsing in the event of a severe wind and this keeps me worried all night long. This happened as a result of some pests attacking the poles that were utilized for the roof. My immediate goal is to get the roof renovated as I plan on building a new house. I've already started setting aside money for this and begun purchasing supplies for the renovations."

"When my oldest child, who is 11 years old, starts junior secondary school in 2024, she will typically need to bring a lot of school supplies with them. In order to ensure that we have the funds necessary for him to begin his junior secondary school, I have already begun saving for this course. The remainder of the savings will be used to add another goat to the three I already have for rearing. Every time I need money, I may sell one of these goats, and the money from that sale will enable me to take care of my needs."

"By the end of the year and beyond, my aim is to accumulate funds for purchasing building materials. The purpose behind this endeavor is to construct an additional room, as my current two-room house lacks sufficient space to accommodate both my family members and my possessions. The new room will serve as a generous area where I can warmly welcome and host friends and family who come to visit me at home."

"The greatest challenge is that our land has been destroyed because of the landslides especially where we farm.The crops have been washed away by the floods and water leaving us hopeless.During the rainy season,water keeps flooding and sometimes it's too much that I fear that my children may drown."

"I have wanted to farm animals for a while by my money making activities couldt fetch enough to facilitate this dream. I have now bough a goat and own about 3 chicken which I hope to build on. I want to use the transfers once I harvest and can provide food from my farm, to buy goats and chicken as an investment which I can build upon to act as an emergency fund but also as a business in the long run."

"I want to build a bigger house for my family. I am working towards that. I bought building poles and hoping to soon get more items for the project through the transfers. I want to get buy some more animals too as an investment for whenever I do not have finances for needs in the home."

"I am working on expanding my house. As you can see I have been buying iron sheets which I have been saving towards building and expanding my house. I have a family of 4 and my husband’s casual labour or my burning and selling of charcoal has not provided funds sufficient to redirect any extra money on adding to our house and I hope Givedirectly transfers will help me achieve this goal."

"As I said I am the sole breadwinner and this puts alot of pressure on me with my mobile business. My salon business is a good one but it can only fetch so much when I am only hired by those who know my skills. Getting a station to work from with increase those that seek my services and thats why I am saving with the aim of putting up a small salon for my business by December. I am also buying goats because I want to afford to buy a cow. I will eventually sell the goats kids and use the money to buy a cow."

"My life was good during the period of time my business was running and my hope is to restart this business again. I hope to save my subsequent transfers to use it for restarting the business. Right now I am farming but the proceeds from farming take longer to be seen so I hope I am able to meet a substantial amount to restart my business and provide for my family."
