"In the coming year and beyond, my aspiration is to establish a grocery business and ensure its stability by offering a variety of commodities. My goal is to enhance not only my own living standards but also those of my family. Once I have stabilized this business, I anticipate generating sufficient profits to easily cover my children's school fees. I have a strong desire to achieve self-reliance and financial stability, and this venture represents a significant step towards realizing that goal."

"My main priority revolves around my children's education, utilizing my transfers to cover their school fees. I firmly believe that education serves as a pathway to self-sufficiency. Despite not having had access to the finest education myself, I'm committed to offering my children the utmost quality in schooling. Education, in my view, holds the power to transform lives, which is why I am steadfast in my efforts to secure the best educational opportunities for my children."

"In the coming year and beyond, I want to invest in goat rearing. Coming from a family where getting consistent financial support is challenging, proper planning is essential to avoid falling into debt. My husband works as a tout, and there are times when there are fewer passengers, which reduces his income. Relying on such unstable jobs is frustrating because we need to provide for our children's basic needs. To achieve my goal, I plan to save $20 from my monthly transfer each month. This will help ensure I can invest in goat rearing and create a more stable financial future for my family."

"I aim to use the transfers to settle my school fees debt that accumulated during my secondary school studies, obtain my certificate, and happily commence my pursuit of a certification in electrical engineering. With optimism, I anticipate clearing the debt promptly to enroll in college and further my education using these funds. Should I encounter any obstacles, I am prepared to seek financial assistance from my brothers to ensure the continuation of my studies."

"Having begun poultry rearing, I'm now looking to save in our merry-go-round to expand our venture by purchasing additional chicken and goats. Once they multiply, my plan is to sell some of them to generate income for my children's school fees and other essential family needs. This strategy aims to establish a sustainable income stream for our family's future stability and well-being. I'm highly optimistic about achieving this goal in the coming year and beyond. I'm truly grateful to GiveDirectly for the financial support, as it has been instrumental in uplifting me financially and enabling me to pursue this endeavor."

"Having a financial security asset is incredibly gratifying. With school-going children and no reliable income, I realized the importance of saving to acquire a goat. Goat rearing has always been my dream, and I am hopeful that through my transfers, I will be able to start this project. I chose this project because goats multiply quickly; in fact, some even give birth to twins. Having this project will enable me to pay for my children's school fees without needing to beg for financial support. This makes me feel like an empowered, self-dependent woman, which is a wonderful feeling."

"In the coming year and beyond, I hope to start an animal vending business, focusing on buying and selling goats. Right now, I have seven goats, and I've learned that this business can be very profitable, especially from November through January when prices are high. To make this dream a reality, I plan to save $20 each month starting now. By steadily saving, I can build enough capital to buy more goats and eventually expand my herd. This business will not only provide me with a stable income but also help me support my family better."

"My goal for the coming year and beyond is to invest in purchasing livestock, especially goats. They will multiply over time, and once the herd grows large, I can sell some during emergencies to meet my needs. Additionally, I plan to build a proper shelter for the goats. Currently, we share the same house with the goats, which is not good for my health. I am very grateful for the financial transfers, which have transformed my life and enabled me to get proper medication."

"My goal this year and beyond is to invest heavily in purchasing livestock. Livestock investment is very profitable for me, especially because goats multiply over time, helping to grow the herd. Once this happens, I will have the opportunity to sell some and reinvest the money in purchasing a dairy cow or a bull to help with tilling my land. I am very happy and appreciate the financial support I have received so far, which has greatly improved the quality of life for me and my family."

"My goal this year and beyond is to expand my business. With my subsequent transfers, I plan to buy more stock to attract more customers and, in turn, earn a good profit. I also intend to continue investing in livestock. The goat investment will significantly improve my life once the herd multiplies and grows. I will then have the opportunity to sell some goats, using the money to meet my future needs. I am very happy and grateful for the support from the transfers, which have greatly improved the quality of my life."
