"My main goal is to expand my current tailoring business. I have a shop but I find it a bit squeezed and I would want to expand it so that I add more machines and stock to increase the profits and also be one of the known tailors in the area. Therefore, I want to continue saving $15 of my transfers and by the end of the year, I shall have accumulated the amount that would help me with the expansion and later buy more machines and employ more employees."

"My main goal is to start a livestock-rearing project. Owing to the fact that I currently do not have an income-generating activity, and getting money to feed and educate my children had been quite a challenge. I would want to venture into the project of rearing chicken and goats on large scale. I, therefore plan to save $20 of my monthly transfers and after two months, I buy at least two goats and a few chicks to keep the project going. I believe that the project would have a long-term impact on my family because I would still have it even if the transfers come to a halt."

"My main goal is to expand the current poultry project that I have. I want to construct a nursery and buy 15 layers to add to the project so that I would be supplying eggs within the area to to boost the income from the sales of the other chicken. To achieve this, I plan to save part of my monthly transfers and I would be setting aside around $15 every month to help me start the side project and I believe that the income from the entire business would be of great help in terms of educating my children and I would never be stressed even if the project comes to an end since I would be having a source of income."

"My greatest goal is to have my own house. I currently live in my brother's house, something that is not advisable considering my age, therefore I plan to construct my own house and to achieve this, I had started saving and will continue to save $20 of my monthly transfers and also already bought a few iron sheets with the transfers that I had been receiving. I would also want to go and enroll in a course, get a job, and be independent because I completed primary education but did not get a chance to further my education."

"My goal is to start a livestock-rearing project. I plan to buy goats with part of the transfers that I would be receiving where every month. Later, I would sell part of them and buy cows that would be helping me out during cultivation because currently, I struggle a lot cultivating a two-acre piece of land without using any simpler method something that had been so tiring. I also want to improve my house, currently, I live in a mud house, but my wish had always been to have a permanent house, but due to the financial challenges and the inability to afford a permanent house, I would want to change it to a semi-permanent house. Therefore, I also plan to save part of my transfers so that by the beginning of next year, I would have some amount to start off the construction."

"My goal is to extend my house so that my children would have enough space for sleep. The house that I currently live in is a two-roomed house which is not enough to accommodate us considering the large family that I have. I would therefore like to extend it with one room and to achieve this, I would continue saving $20 of my monthly transfers so that at the end of this year, I would have enough money to help with the construction. I would also want to join a chama (informal cooperative society that is normally used to pool and invest savings) and later buy a dairy cow that would be of help in terms of selling milk and I believe that the returns that I would be getting would help in terms of educating my children."

"My main goal for the next one year and beyond is to see my children go to school without any challenges. And therefore, I would want to start a livestock-rearing project (goats) that would help me in the future in case I am faced with financial challenges. I would also want to expand my current greengrocery business so that I would have increased profits that would be enough to pay for my children’s school fees as well as catering for other necessities for my family. I, therefore, plan to buy a goat worth $20 every month with the transfers that I would be receiving and also set some amount for the business expansion."

"My main goal is to start a livestock-rearing project. I have an experience in the field because I previously had the same project before, but due to some eventualities, all my livestock died and it is something that I would like to do again since it was of great help to my family. I plan to start with chicken and later venture into the rearing of goats. I would be buying chicken worth $15 monthly with the transfers that I would be receiving from GiveDirectly for a certain period and later sell part of them to buy goats. I believe that the project would be of great help in terms of the proceeds that I would be getting."

"Currently, I have been living in a 24-iron sheet-roofed mud-walled house. One of its sides had been washed away by rains, which subjected us to cold. I hope to accomplish the goal of building a new house this year. It will go a long way in serving my household better than the current one. As a result, my family will no longer be worried about weather changes that had caused my children to suffer from cold, a situation that had been costly for me to manage."

"For this year, my primary goal is to invest in livestock keeping. At the moment, I only have a poultry farm with two hens left after losing some to a poultry-related disease outbreak. I aim to raise goats because when the herd increase, I will have an alternative source of income for my family. Therefore, in serious need n I am seriously in need. Besides, I also hope to start a new business dealing with vegetable sales because they are fast-moving goods and can fetch much in the long run"
