"My objective for the near future and beyond is to achieve financial stability. It pains me deeply whenever I find myself unable to fulfill my children's basic necessities. This circumstance has sparked a strong desire within me to invest a portion of my income in purchasing goats. My plan is to let them multiply, and subsequently, I will sell some of them to acquire a dairy cow. The income generated from selling milk from the cow will provide us with a substantial amount of money to cover our daily expenses and support my family's needs."

"First and foremost, I used $180 to clear a debt I owed to a friend. This had been a source of constant worry and stress, but now I could finally breathe freely and regain my peace of mind. With the weight of debt lifted off my shoulders, I could focus on building a brighter future for my family. The next step was investing in a dairy cow, spending around $150 on it. This decision promised a steady supply of milk for domestic use and the potential for commercial purposes. As my dairy business grew, it would offer a reliable income stream and contribute to a stable livelihood for my family. Additionally, I repaired my motorcycle, which had broken down earlier and had been my primary source of income. With it back in working order, I could resume my transportation services and provide for my family's needs. Lastly, I made sure to buy clothes and food for my three family members. Seeing them well-fed and clothed filled my heart with happiness and gratitude."
