"With our food security now assured, my goal for the year ahead is to further invest in livestock and poultry. This investment not only promises future profit but also serves our personal needs. Using the transfers received, I aim to expand this venture, recognizing it as an opportunity to transform our circumstances for the better. I am genuinely thankful for this chance to improve our lives and contribute to the prosperity of our community."

"Looking ahead, my primary goal for this year is to complete the payment for my land. Acquiring 30 acres on loan was a significant investment, and I now aim to clear the remaining debt of $1000. Utilizing both my transfers and financial support from my children, I am determined to secure ownership of this land, ensuring a lasting legacy for my family. Owning this property will provide a sense of security and prosperity for generations to come, reflecting my commitment to securing a better future for my loved ones even beyond my lifetime."

"Currently, my family and I live in a makeshift house that is not sufficient or safe to live in. My top objective for this year is to construct a proper house for us. To achieve this goal, I plan to diligently save the transfers I receive until I accumulate a substantial amount to purchase the necessary materials. A better living space not only ensures our well-being but also allows us the dignity of hosting guests in our home. This assistance has been instrumental in enabling me to strive towards improving our living conditions and providing a better environment for my loved ones. I am deeply grateful for the support I have received this far."

"Our current living conditions are dire, residing in an aging and dilapidated grass-thatched dwelling. During rainy seasons, the structure's deterioration becomes particularly pronounced, with leaks rendering our living environment intolerable. Recognizing the urgent need for improvement, our family is steadfast in our resolve to construct a more suitable and resilient home. To realize this goal, we have been diligently saving a portion of our monthly transfers. Through these efforts, we have already procured 9 iron sheets, a critical step towards the construction of a sturdier dwelling. With our sights set on acquiring a total of 22 iron sheets, we eagerly anticipate the forthcoming payout from our savings group, where I consistently contribute $10 from my monthly transfers. The significance of this endeavor extends beyond mere shelter; it directly impacts the well-being of our family, particularly the health of our child, who has endured adverse effects from our current living conditions. A better-quality residence promises not only improved physical comfort but also enhanced overall living standards for our household."

"I primarily engage in casual labor jobs, often clearing farms for individuals, especially in anticipation of the rainy season. Unfortunately, finding employment has proven challenging lately due to the current dry season. Consequently, I've encountered difficulties in meeting my children's school fees obligations. My objective with the upcoming transfers is to allocate them towards settling my children's school fees, thus ensuring they have an optimal learning environment. I am immensely grateful for the financial assistance provided through these transfers, as they have significantly aided me in providing for my family's needs."

"Looking ahead, my goal is to expand our farming endeavors to achieve greater self-sufficiency and stability. With the support of forthcoming transfers, I aim to invest further in livestock and agricultural activities. This will not only enhance our livelihood but also provide a buffer against unexpected expenses, such as medical emergencies. The assistance we receive has been transformative, empowering us to overcome challenges and pursue a brighter future. I am deeply thankful for this opportunity and remain committed to utilizing it effectively to secure a better life for myself and my family."

"My aim for this year is to venture into livestock farming, specifically raising goats. Although I currently do not own any, I recognize their potential for profitability, especially in our region where they thrive with minimal attention. I intend to save and utilize future transfers to realize this goal. Establishing this business will not only provide a sustainable source of income but also ensure that my daughter's tuition fees are covered, giving me peace of mind. I am sincerely thankful for the assistance that enables me to pursue these goals and look forward to the opportunities it will bring."

"My aim for the upcoming year is to ensure that my children can pursue their studies without any hindrances. As someone who didn't have the opportunity for formal education myself, I strongly believe in its importance for a brighter future. I plan to use the upcoming transfers to cover their school fees, as I believe education opens doors to better opportunities. Providing my children with an education will equip them with the skills they need to secure good jobs in the future, enabling them to support themselves. I am immensely grateful to the organization for their assistance, which allows me to provide this invaluable gift to my children"

"I am looking forward to having a household that is financially stable"

"In the upcoming months, my primary focus is to make substantial investments in acquiring livestock, with a particular emphasis on goats known for their rapid reproduction, thereby facilitating a swift multiplication of my investment. The proceeds from the sale of these goats will significantly contribute to financing my education and meeting other future requirements. I am deeply grateful for the financial assistance provided by Give Directly, as it has played a pivotal role in furthering my education. Without this support, I would have been unable to pursue my studies and would have remained confined at home instead of attending school."
