"My aspirations are centered around expanding my livestock holdings, particularly goats and cows. I envision growing my herd to not only increase my family's self-sufficiency but also to generate additional income through the sale of milk, meat, and other products. By increasing my livestock, I hope to not only enhance my self-sufficiency but also generate additional income through sales, enabling me to improve our quality of life and invest in my children's education and future."

"I spent $100 of my recent unconditional cash transfer on something I had been dreaming of for a long time: a new bed and a high-density mattress. For years, I had been sleeping on traditional, uncomfortable beds that left me waking up in the morning with aches and pains, sometimes unable to attend to my daily duties. The new bed and mattress have transformed my sleep quality, allowing me to wake up feeling refreshed and ready to face the day. It's a simple luxury that has made a significant difference in my life. Next, I used part of the money to pay my son's eighth-grade school fees, amounting to $40. I had been worried that he might have to miss school due to the financial strain, but the cash transfer came at just the right time, ensuring he could continue his education. With the remaining amount, I made a strategic investment in our family's future by purchasing a dairy cow for $200. This cow would serve as a valuable asset, providing a steady source of income through milk production. It was not only a source of sustenance but also a symbol of hope for better days ahead. My husband and I continued to work any job that came our way, and with the extra money, we secured enough food to keep our family of three well-nourished. The unconditional cash transfer has truly transformed our lives, bringing stability and comfort to our humble home."

"My aspiration is to expand my livestock holdings by acquiring more goats, with the ultimate goal of eventually exchanging them for dairy cows. Goats have proven to be a valuable asset, providing both milk and meat for my family. However, I understand that the transition to dairy cows will significantly increase our milk production and, consequently, our income. This journey towards building a sustainable dairy farm may take time, but it's a path I'm eager to walk. With careful planning, hard work, and prudent investment, I hope to see my livestock grow and transform into a thriving dairy operation, securing a brighter and more prosperous future for my family."

"My plan is to buy a cow for milk production and consumption, land for expansion for digging farming. And move to stay zone."

"I bought cows because so that I can raise them and get more money"

"I plan on buying a cow for milk since I have grandchildren and for myself too at this age. And also this grant will enable me to buy a piece of land where I can build a house to stay with my family in safety."

"I am eagerly saving up to purchase my first dairy cow for my farm. At the moment, my farm does not have any cows, but I am determined to make this investment. Having a dairy cow will allow me to sell milk and create a valuable source of income for myself. This opportunity will not only benefit me but also greatly improve my family's overall well-being."

"I aspire to purchase two cows, but due to life's challenges, I could only afford one at the moment. Fortunately, with the support of my merry-go-round, I will receive more funds in December and buy another cow. These cows are vital for farming, as they will assist me in cultivating the land and eventually enable me to earn additional income by renting them out to neighbors for their own land cultivation."

"I am looking forward to buying a cow as my first step in starting my own cow farm. I will put in hard work and utilize the funds from my merry-go-round savings to make this investment a success."

"I am planing to use the cash transfer to a plot land for USD 555 in Bubutu Subcouty which is flat and good for settlement so that we can sleep comfortably. I also plan to build a house worthy USD 555 on this land where we shall stay happily with my family members. I also opt to buy three cows worth USD833 that will provide us with milk for both domestic use and selling to raise money for care and meeting school requirements for my children."
