"My goal is to rear livestock, particularly goats. I have already purchased two goats with previous cash transfers, and I aim to secure at least four more. As they multiply and increase in number, I could sell them in the future to provide for the needs of my wife and myself such as food. This will also help alleviate the burden on my sons, as they also bear the significant responsibility of supporting their own families."

"I am committed to continuing to raise livestock, particularly goats. I am grateful to have begun this endeavor by acquiring four goats from previous cash transfers. As they reproduce and the herd grows in the future, I will have the option to sell them to meet any needs that may arise including medical expenses. This will consequently alleviate my dependence on my son in the future."

"My main goal is to start a kiosk business that I will run from home. With a business, I believe that the stream of income will be consistent, making it easier to fund my three children's education. Since their mother passed away, the responsibility of taking care of them has solely fallen on me. I always want to ensure that their needs are catered for even in her absence. So, I would be happy if I could start the business before the year ends. I anticipate that the initial stock will require at least $100. Right now, I am focusing on farming because the long rains have started. However, once the farming season is over, I plan to start saving for the shop."

"I am grateful that I have finally achieved my long-term goal of building a house with an iron roof. For many years, I lived in a grass-thatched hut. At my age, I can no longer work and support myself. Instead, I rely on transfers and some support from my son, who has his own family to take care of. In order to reduce my financial burden, I have decided to invest in livestock, specifically goats. Goats are easy to take care of and breed quickly. I currently own eight goats and plan to buy more in the future. This will allow me to sell them and generate cash whenever I need it."

"I am pleased that I have finally achieved my long-term goal of building an iron-roofed house. For years, I had been living in a grass-thatched hut. At my age, I am no longer able to engage in jobs that can help me take care of my needs. Therefore, I mainly rely solely on the transfers for my upkeep and some support from my son, who does casual jobs in town and has his own family to support. To reduce the financial burden, I have decided to invest in livestock, particularly goats. Goats are easy to take care of and breed and their multiplication rate is high. I currently own eight goats, and I plan to purchase more in the coming years. This will enable me to sell them and generate some cash whenever I need it."

"My goal is to maintain my medication schedule and regular checkups. Thanks to the monthly transfers, it has become easier for me to receive treatment. My parents are not financially stable enough to support me in this regard, and this would cause them undue stress. However, with the current arrangement, I can get my medication on time and maintain a proper diet. Additionally, I plan on purchasing more livestock to keep, which will help me with my financial needs as they multiply."

"Receiving the money has made a big difference in my life. Now, I feel much calmer because I don't have to constantly worry about how to buy food for my family. I'm also thankful for the seeds I got because when planting and harvesting they can help make sure my kids have enough to eat and take care of our other needs. Instead of selling our cows for other things, we're using them to invest in our future.Life is better now. We have fewer problems to deal with, and my family is really happy. Since it's a holiday and the kids are home, we're excited to start planting on our farm. We've enjoyed the money in a way that makes us wish we could get it every month."

"My objective is to complete the construction of my own house. Several years ago, my house collapsed, and since then, I have been living in my grandson's home. Currently, I am in the process of acquiring building poles and iron sheets to commence the construction. To achieve this, I have joined a merry-go-round where I am contributing $10 every month. I plan to use the savings when my turn comes to purchase the materials in bulk and commence the construction."

"My current goal is to ensure that all four of my children, who are currently in school, continue with their studies without any struggles despite my financial predicament. It is my desire that they can pursue their educational aspirations and attend school without any hindrances. My top priority is to ensure that I pay their fees on time to avoid any situation where they may be sent home due to outstanding fees. I believe that with the assurance of receiving the money every month, my children's education will be well taken care of in the years that I will be part of the program."

"Looking ahead, my priority is to build a new house. The current structure has been significantly weakened by the heavy rains last year, and I am concerned it may collapse with the next rainfall. Therefore, I plan to allocate the next cash transfers towards purchasing materials for a new house, such as building poles and iron sheets. Securing a stable and safe shelter for my family is essential, and I am determined to prioritize this goal hopefully before this year ends."
