"I have a desire to rear and sell livestock such as indigenous goats and cows at our center during market days. Receiving this money will make my dream come true because I intend to use 70,000 shillings to buy 15 goats and five cows which I will sell and get income to assist in my financial needs such as food, clothing etc. I will also use the remaining amount to pay school fees for my children when schools resume."

"Receiving this money will help me open a retail shop at a nearby shopping centre. My spouse will help me run this shop since she has been idle most of the time at home. I have budgeted for 500 USD to start the business. I will also use part of the money to buy 5 goats and 3 cows. This will cost me approximately 400 USD. Livestock will help me get milk for sale and in a few years to come they will have increased in number."

"Receiving this money means owning a better shelter. I live in a single roomed house that is too small to accommodate my daughter and I. Besides, this same house serves as the kitchen and it tends to get smokey, making it difficult to sleep. This has resulted to endless coughing because of the smoke we inhale every night. In addition to this, I will purchase goats that I will use to finance my daughter's education."

"Receiving this money will help me add two more goats to the herd I have. I like goat keeping because they multiply very fast and this will help me educate my children when they start school. Each goat will cost me 30 USD. I will also use 500 USD to renovate my house. The walls and floor are in a bad condition."

"My house looks new from the outside but its roof is just braving the strong winds of our area since the nails rusted and they can not fully hold the iron sheets to the poles, something that has worried me for a long time. I have wished to repair the roof but due to the financial crisis, this has never come through. My plan once I receive this money is to spend utmost 350 dollars to repair my house to make it strong and this will make me enjoy my nights. On the other hand, I plan to buy 7 goats at 35 dollars each to start livestock keeping that can help me sort my needs in the future, and this will change my life for the better."

"My biggest desire has been to own a specious house for my family like other families in the village but I have not fulfilled this wish due to the financial crisis I have. Presently, we are living in a temporary house which is about to collapse as result of its poor condition. My plan is to spend $ 250 to purchase 12 more irony sheets, poles and some labor expenses to construct a two-roomed house. This will be a big transformation I have dreamed for long. I will invest the remaining amount in goats rearing and this will be my reliable source of income."
