Amina received a $25 tenth payment.
"Ever since I completed my tailoring training, my dream has been to own a sewing machine and start my own tailoring business in the village. Unfortunately, with the limited income my husband earns from his motorcycle taxi business, it has been challenging to set aside enough funds to fulfill this dream. Thankfully, with the cash transfers, I now have a greater opportunity to purchase the equipment I need. My goal is to save enough money by the end of the year to acquire a sewing machine. In addition to the tailoring shop, I also aspire to start a vegetable-selling business to supplement my income. Ultimately, I aim to achieve financial stability, contribute to the household's needs, and alleviate the burden on my husband's shoulders."

"My goal is to start livestock rearing as a means of livelihood to reduce the financial burdens in my household. I am incredibly grateful for the previous cash transfers, as they have allowed me to acquire three goats and four chickens. By owning this livestock, I will accumulate enough wealth that will help my family's living conditions and support my children's education. It brings me great joy to envision them studying without any interruptions due to a lack of school fees."

Priscillar received a $25 tenth payment.
"Supporting the education of my five children until they complete high school is a primary goal for me. My husband works at a logistics company, but his salary is received at the end of the month, which often makes it challenging to cover all of our household needs. Additionally, his income alone is not sufficient to meet all the financial requirements. Therefore, I aspire to contribute to financing our children's education and alleviate the burden on my husband's shoulders. I firmly believe that investing in their education is crucial for their future success and well-being. Through the cash transfers, I hope to have the means to support them in their educational journey."

Shida received a $25 tenth payment.
"Within the span of a year, my objectives include constructing a new house for my children, as well as extending and repairing my existing house due to its age and vulnerability to strong winds. These plans entirely depend on the success of our farming endeavors. I'm hopeful that the harvest would ensure an abundance of food and enable us to save on our current food expenses. With these savings, we aspire to acquire additional cows for resale, thereby enhancing our financial stability and facilitating the comfortable payment of school fees. Furthermore, we aim to expand our goat population, as they reproduce at a faster rate. Our plan is to sell them in order to accumulate funds for purchasing more cows. This approach will create opportunities for our children to pursue higher education, unlocking brighter prospects for their future."

This initiative will not only contribute to the financial stability of my family but also enable me to provide quality education for my children and maintain their overall well-being.
