"As a businesswoman, the profits generated from my business endeavors are dedicated solely to meeting our family's daily needs. This division of resources allows for a structured approach: business earnings for immediate requirements and transfers for long-term investments. This strategy aims to establish a solid foundation for our family's prosperity, with education expenses for our children also factored into the equation. Utilizing my initial savings from the merry-go-round, I made a significant investment by purchasing a cow. This is just the beginning; my intention is to continue saving and gradually acquire more cows. I hold a positive outlook, believing that these cows will not only multiply but also become a sustainable source of income for my family. Whether through selling them or utilizing bulls for land ploughing services, I envision a future where our livelihood is bolstered by the success of our livestock ventures, ensuring financial stability. There's a sense of determination and hope driving these decisions, rooted in the desire to secure a better future for our family"

"In the coming year and beyond, my vision is to establish myself as a successful livestock farmer. After learning about the reliability and resilience of goat farming in our region compared to traditional cow and crop farming, I set my sights on building a thriving goat farm. To turn this dream into reality, I have taken proactive steps, such as joining a merry-go-round saving group with five others who are beneficiaries of the GiveDirectly program, where we will contribute $20 each month. By December 2024, I'll have accumulated enough funds to invest in more goats, laying the foundation for my livestock farming venture. This journey fills me with excitement and determination as I pursue a livelihood that aligns with the natural conditions of our area and promises greater stability and prosperity for my future."

"Receiving this money means investing for the future education of my 5 children. I'm planning to spend $ 300 to purchase local goats because they multiple very first and I can sell them and pay school fees for my children. Also, I will use $ 20 to purchase a dairy cow for purpose of consumption and sell some litres. The remaining amount will clear the current school fees arrears so that they can study comfortable."

"My top priority is to invest most of my upcoming transfer in expanding my livestock. Right now, I already own a cow and a goat that I purchased with funds from previous transfers. I anticipate that these animals will have offspring in the next few months, which will boost my investment considerably. Once my cow matures, I'll be able to sell milk to people in the nearby village and generate income. These transfers will not only aid in my personal growth but also fuel my determination to attain financial stability. I'm committed to maximizing these opportunities for a brighter future and to working hard towards saving for college through my investments"

"Completing my house and continuing to invest in livestock farming is my plan for the future, all with the goal of securing my son's education and future. Educating him is my top priority, as I am everything he depends on. Once our house is finished, providing a safe and warm home, I'll focus on expanding our livestock. My aim is to buy more goats, hoping they multiply, and eventually trade them for cows. I am hopeful that these cows will also multiply, allowing me to sell them to fund my son's education. The idea of my son completing his education and having a bright future means the world to me. I thank GiveDirectly for making this dream possible."

"As I look ahead to the coming year and beyond, I have a clear goal of starting my own animal vending business. With the transfers I'll be receiving, I plan to save up enough to kickstart this venture. My dream is to buy and sell cows, inspired by seeing others thrive in this business. I'm hopeful that with hard work and determination, I'll be able to make it a success too. This isn't just about making money; it's about creating a sustainable future for myself and my family. I'm excited to embark on this journey and see where it takes me."

"I have a straightforward plan: to buy a dairy cow from my Merry Go Round group in July. With that cow, I'll have a consistent supply of milk, which I can sell to generate income. This will be a game-changer for me and my family. With the extra income from selling milk, I'll finally be able to settle my bills with ease. No more struggling to make ends meet or worrying about how I'll manage to pay the bills or my children's school fees. It's a simple but powerful step towards financial stability and providing a better future for my family. I'm excited about the possibilities this opportunity will bring, and I'm determined to make the most of it."

"Investing in livestock has proven to be a valuable asset, with their value increasing over time. Looking ahead, my goal for the coming year and beyond is to further expand my livestock holdings, particularly focusing on acquiring more goats. With the funds provided by the transfers, I can currently afford to make these purchases. My strategy involves eventually trading some of these goats for a dairy cow. By transitioning into dairy farming, I aim to generate income through milk sales, which will significantly contribute to my financial stability. This shift represents a step towards creating sustainable wealth for myself and my family. I'm grateful for the financial support from the transfers, as it has enabled me to stabilize my income and pursue opportunities for wealth creation through livestock investments."

"I plan to use my upcoming transfers to further expand my livestock holdings. In addition to rearing turkeys, I aim to invest in goats initially and eventually move on to purchasing cows. By diversifying my livestock, I hope to create multiple streams of income that will support my family's needs. The financial support from Give Directly has been instrumental in transforming our lives. With the assistance received, I have been able to overcome the financial challenges that once burdened my family. Now, I no longer struggle to provide for my loved ones, and I am grateful for the stability and security that the transfers have brought into our lives."
