"Right now, I'm interested in making investments in goat farming. Since they can withstand the harsh environment in our region, are less expensive to purchase than cows, and have a ready market when it's time to sell, I chose goats as my livestock of choice. It is difficult to do this task all at once due to the hunger scenario, but whenever I can obtain some cash, I will begin with some hens to swap them for goats."

"As I earlier said I have a one year two months child who I plan to one day take to school. I however at the moment do not have a trade and my husband, who is the sole breadwinner herds animals which usually pays between $1 to $3 daily depending on who you are herding for and this is not sufficient. My plan is to build our own herd by buying goats and cows which he can herd alongside his work and we can sell once they grow in number to ensure my child gets an education."

Lucy received a $25 ninth payment.
"As the raindrops gently fell, an opportunity for kindness presented itself. Feeling compelled to lend a hand, I graciously gave $20 to someone who owed a cow. In return, they willingly joined me in the noble task of tilling the land. Inspired by this unexpected bond, I set forth with a purposeful intent to purchase seeds, investing $10 in the hope of a prosperous harvest. Remaining mindful of my responsibilities, I carefully allocated the remaining $4 to fulfill a sacred obligation: paying my beloved child's school fees. My little one, a first-grader, deserved nothing less than a solid foundation for their educational journey. With unwavering determination, I ensured that their path to knowledge and endless possibilities was paved with care and commitment."

"Currently, I have a goal of starting an investment in livestock farming specifically goats. I understand it will take quite some time because the amount I get from my casual work cannot do huge things at ago but with determination and saving discipline, I will make it. As much as I would like to start with a cow, it will not be possible because the income is not defined and it is irregular. Due to this, buying a cow will be an outcome of the goats' investment which I plan to start with."
