"I aim to invest in goats as part of my strategy to diversify beyond poultry farming. Currently, I have around fifty broiler chickens, which I plan to expand and sell when needed. My goal is to acquire approximately ten goats, which I believe will multiply and provide an opportunity to eventually exchange them for cows. Additionally, I want to build a three-room house to replace my current mud house and improve the living conditions for my three children. I am also engaged in selling milk and will work diligently to achieve these goals and provide a better life for my family."

"I am a father of five children, and I prioritize their education as a crucial part of their future. I use most of my transfer payments to support their schooling and also burn and sell charcoal to supplement my income. Although I face many challenges and lack formal education myself, I am committed to ensuring my children can continue their education without interruption. My goal is to provide them with the best educational opportunities possible, with the hope that it will improve their lives and ultimately benefit our family in future when they get good jobs."

"At the top of my list right now is the crucial goal of renovating my house. The current state of the house has me deeply worried, as it’s not a permanent structure. The walls have weakened over time, and there are holes everywhere, making me fear that they could collapse and endanger my children. Completing this renovation will bring me immense relief and happiness, as it will alleviate the constant anxiety I feel about the safety of my family. With the transfers I am receiving, I am confident that I will be able to make significant progress on this project soon, transforming the house into a secure and stable home where I won’t have to worry anymore."

"My goal for this year is to renovate my house, which has been plagued by leaks during heavy rains and is in overall poor condition. To begin the renovations, I plan to buy iron roofing sheets and cement. I will use a combination of my savings and the transfers I receive to fund this project. Achieving this will provide me with much-needed peace of mind, as I am weary of being drenched by winter storms. This renovation will not only improve our living conditions but also ensure that my family and I no longer have to rely on seeking shelter from relatives. I believe this goal will significantly enhance our quality of life and bring us closer to a more stable and comfortable home environment."

"In the coming year and beyond, my goal is to invest in purchasing more livestock. I currently have two goats, bought with the money from the transfers. My aim is to expand this number and grow the herd. As the livestock multiply, I will have the opportunity to sell some if the need arises. Investing in livestock will help me become financially independent, reducing my reliance on my son for financial support. This will ease the burden on him and enable him to focus on his own needs. I am very grateful for the financial support I have received so far; it has made my life easier and provided me with a path toward greater self-sufficiency."

"To secure my financial independence, my goal for the coming year and beyond is to save more money in my savings group. At the end of the year, my colleagues and I plan to invest our combined savings in starting a kiosk business. The income generated from this business will support us even after the period of receiving the transfers ends. Additionally, I plan to purchase more livestock to add to the two goats I already have. As the livestock multiply, I will have the opportunity to sell some in the future, generating income to take care of my family. I am very happy and appreciative of the financial support I have received, as it is helping me achieve financial independence."

"My goal for the coming year and beyond is to complete the construction of my new two-room house. This will allow me to host all my family members, eliminating the need for them to seek accommodation from relatives. With the required number of iron sheets already purchased, my focus now shifts to acquiring the additional building poles needed. I plan to use a portion of my subsequent transfers to buy these poles. Following that, I will save money for the labor required to construct the house. My target is to have the house ready for my family to move in by the end of this year. I am happy and appreciative of the financial transfers that are helping me achieve this long-awaited goal."

"I currently have two goats and three sheep, all purchased with money from the transfers. Despite having many needs to take care of, I have managed to save some amount in the past, which I invested in livestock. My goal for the coming year and beyond is to continue purchasing more livestock with the money from the transfers. Once the livestock multiply, I will be able to raise income by selling some in times of need. I am very happy that with the support from the cash transfers, I will be able to take care of my family now and in the future, even after the financial aid ends."

"My son in college will complete his studies at the end of next year. My goal for the coming year is to finance his education by paying his school fees and accommodation, ensuring he has a conducive learning environment that will spur him to success. I also want to support my youngest son, who will complete primary education this year and join secondary school next year. To prioritize their education, I have put on hold the repair of my house and channeled all financial resources toward their schooling. By doing so, I aim to provide them with the best education and a bright future. I am very happy and appreciative of the financial support, which is helping me achieve this important goal."

"I am responsible for taking care of my two grandchildren who are still in school. My main goal for the coming year and beyond is to finance their education by paying their school fees with the money from the cash transfers. Ensuring their education will give them the best chance for a bright future. Additionally, I plan to invest heavily in livestock purchases. My goal is to increase the number of goats I own and eventually exchange some of them for bulls. These bulls will not only help me plow my land during the rainy season but also provide an income as I offer plowing services to others. I am very appreciative of the financial support so far, which has been instrumental in helping me take care of my needs and those of my family."
