"To fully support the education of my children, I need to have an alternative source of income, other than the business of selling sardines. I believe rearing livestock is a stable form of investment I can explore to have enough wealth in the future. By the end of this year, I hope to have bought at least 10 goats. I pray to never skip any of my cash transfers from now on so that I can achieve this goal.  "

"My current house is in poor shape and may collapse anytime from winds or rains. This is why I plan to demolish and reconstruct it using bricks and iron sheets. Since I intend to design the bricks by myself, I will only need to save money for buying roofing materials like iron sheets and planks. To achieve this, I will continue saving part of my transfer till I have enough money for the materials and kickstart the procedure. I hope it succeeds by next year. "

"When my family moved to this new location in December, I built a temporary mud-house to accommodate them for the time as I lacked enough funds for a more stable house. I look forward to building a new three-room house in the next year, made of brick walls and an iron sheet roof. I trust to have the capacity to save from the upcoming transfers and my daily earnings to start buying the materials. Once I have assembled all building materials, I plan to hire a mason to construct the structure. "
