"I am planning to join college once I finish my computer classes. To achieve this goal, I want to invest my transfers in a goat-rearing project. Since my parents are jobless and raising my fees would be difficult for them, I need to plan well to ensure I use my transfers wisely to continue my education. Therefore, I want to buy goats and keep them at home. I appreciate that since I started receiving these transfers, I am able to pay my fees, relieving my parents from the financial burden. When it’s time for me to join college, I will sell some of my goats to pay my fees. This is my dream for the coming year and beyond."

"In the coming year and beyond, I am planning to invest in a poultry business. I had already started with a good number of chickens, but unfortunately, there was a disease outbreak that killed almost all of them, leaving only six. Despite this setback, I am not giving up, and I plan to use my transfer to buy more chickens once the disease clears up. I chose this project because once they multiply and I have a good number of chickens again, I can sell them and invest in buying goats. This will enable me to support my family financially by selling some of the chickens and generating income."

"In the coming year and beyond, my goal is to invest in goats. I aim to raise and sell them once they multiply, generating profits to support my education. To achieve this goal, I will utilize the funds received through the project and a portion of my savings. The income generated from this venture will enable me to pursue my dream of obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Education. Becoming a teacher has been my lifelong aspiration, and realizing this dream would be a significant achievement for me. I am thankful to this organization for improving my family's living standards and positively impacting our entire community."

"I am a mother of four children, and ensuring their education remains uninterrupted is my top priority. With the transfer, I spent $14 on their school fees. I also used $14 to buy school bags for three of my children, which made them very happy. To improve our living conditions, I invested $60 in my merry-go-round group, aiming to save enough to build a new home. Our current single-room dwelling is inadequate for my family of six and is not in good condition. I allocated $10 to buy food for my family. Currently, I own four chickens; unfortunately, I lost over fourteen due to disease. With the remaining transfer, I spent $4 on another chicken, hoping they will multiply so I can eventually exchange them for goats, which I can sell during times of need."

"I completed a tailoring class last December and started my own shop. To attract more customers, I invested $10 in materials for my work. I also aimed to enhance my skills by saving $20 towards purchasing a new sewing machine, which would make my work easier and enjoyable to do. Currently, I own four goats; I spent $15 on acquiring one, with plans for them to multiply so I can eventually trade them for cows. Additionally, I bought four chickens for $9, and now I have a total of sixteen. Recently, I faced health issues and was diagnosed with ulcers, which required treatment costing $34. Thanks to GiveDirectly, I was able to afford medical care and am feeling much better now. With the remaining transfers, I allocated $14 towards personal items such as sanitary towels and new inner wears."

"I am eager to start my own shop of selling colorful African fabric, aiming to ease the burden of paying my school fees. With my mom selling charcoal and my dad currently unemployed, finances have been tight. My plan is to buy African fabric in bulk, have a trusted family member sell them for a profit, and use the earnings to fund my education. Alongside this venture, I also have two goats that I am raising and I am waiting for them to multiply so that I can sell them and raise enough money to support myself in the future, after I complete my studies and plan to join college."

"I completed my Form Four studies in 2019. I am eager to pursue my passion for studying as a laboratory technician in college. Before enrolling, I aim to save enough money, in order to plan and to purchase a motorcycle, which I will then lease to someone who will maintain it and generate income for me. This income will help me cover my college fees without difficulty. I am confident in this plan because it ensures I won't have to worry about where to find tuition fees once I start college. With the transfers, some will be investing in purchasing goats and others as pocket money."

"I currently have two goats. My goal is to increase their numbers so I can eventually sell or exchange them for bulls. These bulls will play a crucial role in helping me cultivate my land and generating income through hiring them out. In addition to raising goats, I currently sell chickens to support my family. With the income from my work and the monthly transfers I receive from GiveDirectly, I will be able to purchase more goats, which I can later exchange. I believe my family's future will be brighter and we will live a more comfortable life than we do now."

"In the coming year and beyond, I want to invest in a goat-rearing project. This will serve as a lasting reminder of my transfers once they come to an end. Additionally, goats multiply, which is a great benefit. Once I have a good number, I will sell some to get money to support my family by paying school fees and buying food. To achieve this goal, I have already started buying goats and will continue to do so until I have acquired a good number."

"In the coming year and beyond, my main objective is to focus on investing in a goat-rearing project. Goats are less costly in terms of maintenance, and if I need to sell some, there is always a ready market. I thought of this project because, once these transfers come to an end, I want to have something to rely on. Additionally, I have school-going children, and if they are sent home for fee balances, I can sell some goats to pay for their education, along with other basic necessities. In a nutshell, I plan to use them as a financial cushion for unexpected emergencies. I aim to use funds from my upcoming transfers to purchase these goats, providing my family with additional income to address future needs. I am deeply thankful for the opportunities provided by this program, as they have played a significant role in improving my life."
