"Now that my housing situation is nearly resolved, I have set my sights on a new goal: bringing livestock into my home, specifically goats. I am optimistic that these goats will reproduce, increasing both their numbers and value, ultimately providing me with a reliable source of income once this project is completed. As the herd grows, I can eventually trade some goats for cows, which offer even greater benefits. This step will bring stability to my family's daily needs, allowing me to sell one or two animals to cover urgent expenses with ease. To achieve this dream, I plan to use the upcoming transfer to purchase one goat at a time. I am confident that this gradual approach will positively transform my life and ensure that I will never lack the resources I need."

"In the years ahead, I have a strong goal: to own livestock, particularly goats. Currently, I don't have any because I couldn’t afford them. My plan is to use savings from a portion of my transfers in the merry-go-round group in our village to turn this dream into reality. Once I achieve this goal, I will have a reliable source of income that can sustain me even after the program ends in five years. I am hopeful that the goats I purchase will multiply, increasing in number and value over time. In the future, I plan to sell some of them and use the proceeds to support myself and my family."

"During my childhood, my parents didn’t understand the importance of education, so sending us to school was never part of their plans. This lack of education has perpetuated the cycle of poverty in our family for generations. Now, I have a clear goal: to ensure that all four of my children, who are currently in school, receive a quality education, graduate, and grow into responsible individuals. To achieve this dream, I plan to continue using a portion of my financial transfers to pay their school fees and provide them with everything they need, including stationery and uniforms. This support will allow them to focus fully on their studies. With the unwavering support of my husband, I firmly believe this dream will become a reality. Together, we will break the chain of poverty and create a brighter future for our family through the power of education."

"I previously mentioned that I am building a new house, and I am happy to share that the construction is progressing well. My goal for this year is to complete the house. In order to achieve this, I plan to save $10 from each of my transfers into our merry-go-round group. Once I receive the pooled funds, I will use them to help finish the construction. In addition to completing my house, I also want to secure a better future for my family by building a herd of livestock, consisting of various animals. To make this vision a reality, I intend to continue using a portion of my transfers to buy more chickens. I am hopeful that these chickens will multiply, and as they do, I will trade them for goats. I believe that these goats will also reproduce, and over time, I will be able to trade some of them for cows which will also multiply. My dream is to have a thriving herd that will become a valuable asset, something I can rely on in the future, especially when this program comes to an end. I am truly grateful for this support, as it is helping me to build a better future for myself and my family."

"Personally, I did not have the chance to go to school. In my time, parents often didn’t understand the importance of education, and many children, like me, were left out. The challenges I’ve faced due to illiteracy have been immense, and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, especially my own children. Because of this, my dream is to ensure that all my children receive a quality education. Some of them have already graduated from high school, while two are still in school. I plan to achieve this goal by wisely using the transfers I’ve received. I am confident that by the end of five years, my children will be much better off, with their schooling almost or fully completed. Once I fulfill this dream, I will be the proudest father. It will give me the assurance that my children will not face the hardships I endured due to illiteracy."

"I have many goals running through my mind, but the most important one is to renovate the house I currently live in. Its walls are cracked, and there are holes everywhere, which has caused me constant worry. At times, I fear it might collapse while I’m inside, putting me at serious risk of harm. To address this, I plan to use my future transfers from the coming months to purchase new building poles and hire someone to carry out the renovations. This issue has been keeping me awake at night. Once I’m able to repair the house, I will finally have peace of mind, knowing I am no longer in danger of it collapsing while I’m inside. It will also make me feel more secure from external threats."

"In the coming months, my goal and dream are to add an extra room to my one-room house. Currently, I live with my three grandchildren, and this single room is no longer enough to accommodate us all. We’ve been squeezed into this small space, which has made life quite challenging. To make this dream a reality, I’ve devised a plan to save $20 every month from my transfers. These savings will help me gather the resources needed to achieve my goal. So far, I’ve been able to purchase iron sheets with my savings, and I am now waiting for my next turn to receive funds so I can buy the remaining materials. I am confident that, little by little, I will collect everything required to complete the additional room. Once this goal is accomplished, I will no longer feel the stress of our cramped living conditions. Most importantly, my family and I will finally enjoy the privacy we have been lacking."

"With 11 children in school, 7 of whom are in primary school and 4 in secondary school, my greatest desire is to ensure that my children receive the best education possible. To make this dream a reality, I plan to continue using a portion of the transfers I receive, along with the earnings from my other activities on the farm, to buy more goats. I hope that these goats will multiply and increase in both number and value. In the future, I would like to trade some of them for our local breed of cows. These cows are well-suited to our region because they are climate-resistant and can thrive in our environment, which is why I prefer them. I see these animals as valuable assets that, in the future, will help me support my family and ensure that my children continue to receive the education they deserve. I am truly grateful for the support I have received, as it has opened up new opportunities for me and my family. It brings me hope for a better future, and I am thankful for the chance to make these dreams a reality."

"My main goal right now is to grow my workshop into a wholesale business over the next year and beyond. I believe this expansion will yield significant returns and create a strong foundation for a better future. Since this business is my primary source of income, it holds great importance for me. It will allow me to provide more easily for my young family and plan better for my children’s future. I look forward to a time when stability and security replace financial struggles, giving my children the opportunities they deserve. Additionally, I plan to expand my poultry business. As it grows, I will be able to sell some chickens and use the profits to buy goats, further strengthening my business, boosting my daily income, and enabling me to support my family more comfortably. To achieve all these plans, I intend to use my savings from our merry-go-round group along with the small profits from my business to reach these goals."

"My goal is to build a house for my children. Currently, we all live in one small house with my six children and my spouse. Since the house is too cramped, I have sent my first three children to stay with their grandmother while we figure out how to build a new home for them. In the coming year and beyond, I am determined to build a spacious house that can comfortably accommodate all of my children. To achieve this, I’ve started buying one iron sheet each month to help speed up the construction process. My spouse fully supports this goal and also contributes to purchasing building materials. I plan to build a two-room house to fit my five older children. Additionally, I save $10 monthly in our merry-go-round group to help fund the building materials. Once the house is complete, I plan to start a livestock business as a future financial investment."
