"I feel deeply grateful and happy for the help GiveDirectly has given me. They've given me the chance to get the support I needed to build a strong and safe house for my family, especially considering that our current house is on the verge of collapsing, especially with the rains going on. I've always wanted this, and the idea of finally having it makes me incredibly happy. It gives me hope for a better future. I can't thank GiveDirectly enough for everything they've done for me!"

"With the goats purchased, I am hopeful that they will multiply and increase my herd, eventually allowing me to trade them for bulls. These bulls will primarily be used for hire to plow farms and earn income for my family. This way, even when the GiveDirectly program comes to an end, I will have a reliable source of income for my family and will not be dependent on the transfers."

"In the coming year and beyond, my biggest goal is to focus on educating my children. I firmly believe that education is the greatest gift I can give them, the only inheritance that truly matters. My dream is to see them become independent and successful individuals in the future, equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in life. I want to provide them with every opportunity to learn and grow, whether it's through formal education or practical experiences. By investing in their education now, I hope to set them on a path toward a brighter and more prosperous future, one where they can achieve their dreams and make a positive impact on the world."

"As I look ahead to the coming year and beyond, I have a clear goal of starting my own animal vending business. With the transfers I'll be receiving, I plan to save up enough to kickstart this venture. My dream is to buy and sell cows, inspired by seeing others thrive in this business. I'm hopeful that with hard work and determination, I'll be able to make it a success too. This isn't just about making money; it's about creating a sustainable future for myself and my family. I'm excited to embark on this journey and see where it takes me."

"Looking ahead to the coming year and beyond, my biggest goal is to expand my livestock farming, particularly focusing on growing my herd of goats. Right now, I have five goats, but I dream of increasing that number significantly. Goats have a ready market, making them a valuable investment for the future. To achieve this goal, I've committed myself to saving $20 from every transfer I receive from GiveDirectly. These savings will accumulate over time, allowing me to gradually purchase more goats and expand my farming operation. Not only will this investment provide security for my family's future, but it will also create opportunities for growth and prosperity. I'm determined to work hard and make this dream a reality, knowing that each step forward brings us closer to a brighter and more stable future."

"My main goal for the coming year and beyond is to stick with my farming activities and continue raising livestock, particularly goats. Being old, I find solace and security in this endeavor, knowing that it's the most reliable path for me and my family. The goats serve as a form of insurance; in case of any emergencies, they can provide us with valuable resources. Moreover, engaging in substantial farming ensures that we never go hungry. It's a comforting thought to know that our hard work will always keep food on the table. So, despite my age, I'm committed to tending the land and caring for our livestock, ensuring that my family's needs are met now and in the future."

"My primary goal for this year is to construct a permanent house. The one I currently reside in is small, made of mud walls, and doesn't meet the needs of my family. To accomplish this, I intend to use my savings along with any extra funds I receive. The thought of having a more suitable living space fills me with joy, and I am genuinely grateful for the chance to enhance my home."

"Right now, my main priority is finding the right medication to help me get back to good health. Once I'm feeling better, my dream is to renovate my small, cramped house. It's seen better days, especially when my grandchildren come to visit. I envision transforming it into a spacious and inviting space for them, where they can feel truly at home and comfortable. It's not just about fixing up the physical structure; it's about creating a warm and welcoming environment where we can make cherished memories together. I can't wait to see the smiles on their faces when they walk into their newly renovated home-away-from-home."

"With the help of the upcoming transfers, I've got big plans for the coming year and beyond. I've been dreaming of starting my livestock farm, focusing on raising goats. So, I've set a goal to save $20 from each transfer every month. This may seem small, but it's a step towards a brighter future for my family. I believe that investing in goat farming will not only provide us with a sustainable source of income but also ensure that we have enough to cater to our needs in the long run. I'm determined to turn this dream into a reality, and with the support from GiveDirectly, I know I can make it happen."
