"With the assurance of the monthly transfer, my primary goal is to continue to help my sisters so that they can advance with their studies. I get motivated to see them putting in more effort in their studies, and that gives me hope that they will be able to succeed in their academics. My second goal is to raise domestic fowls. They will be my alternative source of income which. In the long run, I hope to realize financial benefits from them once they mature and I sell some."

"My objective this year is to look for a better way of approaching farming either by changing to another crop that does not need much water intake or keeping doing vegetable farming and relocating to an area I can carry out irrigation. After identifying a better plan, I hope to be able to at least generate a respectable income to cater to our basic necessities,"

"When I joined GiveDirectly's program, I knew I would begin to receive regular financial assistance. With that assurance, I set out a goal to construct a pit latrine in our home, as we had none. I started focusing on this project at the beginning of the year, and I am delighted I have accomplished it in three months. In addition, I intend to start raising goats and cows, as well as poultry farming. These undertakings will benefit me much in the long run as they expand. Although I have never raised other livestock, I am optimistic about the success of poultry farming because I began practicing it a couple of years ago."

"I am currently facing financial struggles with my palm wine business not doing well. To address this, I have decided to use the money to invest in livestock. My plan is to buy animals that can multiply in number, and then sell them at a higher price to earn a considerable amount of money. This will provide me with a more stable financial situation and allow me to take care of myself."

"Clearing my children's school fee balances is my top priority and I plan to use the majority of my transfers to achieve this. Their school fees have been outstanding for some time now and I have been unable to pay due to a lack of funds. Once their balances are settled, my children will have a conducive environment to focus on their studies without any distractions. In addition to this, I also plan on using part of the money to purchase healthy food for my family, ensuring they do not go hungry."

"As I look ahead to the end of the year, I am determined to achieve my greatest accomplishment yet. My goal is to use the money from my transfers to clear the huge school fee debt that has been weighing me down. I know that this will pave the way for me to receive my national examination results and get into university. Becoming a doctor has always been my dream, and I am beyond grateful that the transfer money I am receiving will go a long way in helping me achieve it. I am determined to work hard and give it my all so that I can make the most of this opportunity and succeed in my studies. Clearing my school fees will not only help me achieve my goals but will also be a great relief to my family. My mother has been struggling to provide for us, and I want to take some of that burden off her shoulders. I know that with my hard work and dedication, I will be able to help my family in the future and make them proud."

"I used $80 to buy gathers that I will use to collect rain water in my house. Another $30 was used to meet medical bills for my grandchild who was admitted in hospital at that time. The remaining amount of $90 was used to buy food and other basic household needs and to pay school fees for one of my children. I am a mother of 6 children and I rely almost entirely on goat keeping to make ends meet. My husband supports me with goat keeping and it is a challenge sometimes since we have people who prey on these goats. Sometime last year my goats were stolen and I have other neighbours who have suffered the same fate several times. It is a huge challenge over here yet it is supposed to be the main economic activity that we rely on."

"I have kept my money to buy furniture for my house after plastering. I've decided to buy living room chair set, one mattress along with a bed. The rest of my money will be kept for food and health challenges in the near future. I am using my money this way because I want to have a good place to stay; I also want to be comfortable in my house and sleep well and peaceful at night."

"I hope to continue making my farm."

"I spend my recent money on buying zinc."
