"I currently sell charcoal at my place and want to save enough to buy more dairy cows and cows that will help me in cultivating my farm. These cows will not only help me in cultivating my land but also in renting them out to my neighbors, generating income that will improve my life and my children's lives. I am really happy that the thought of me receiving my transfer monthly gives hope for the future."

"I have a dream to build a beautiful stone house for my family. Right now, we are living in a tiny mud house, all six of us squeezed in.It's getting really uncomfortable, and we all lack privacy to do anything we want. I am hopeful, even though I don't have a job at the moment. I will start saving from my transfers to make our dream home a reality."

"I currently have two goats and five chickens. I began purchasing this livestock and poultry the moment I started receiving my transfer. I want to invest in them so that I can easily sell them at a profit and use the earnings to pay my children's school fees. Once the chickens hatch, I can sell them to buy more goats, and then sell the goats to acquire dairy cows. I can milk the cow and sell the milk and generate income."

"Constructing a suitable dwelling for my family had long been a cherished aspiration. Regrettably, financial limitations prevented its realization, particularly with seven children to support through their schooling. I am married and my husband works as a driver, while I sustain our livelihood through charcoal vending. When we received our second payment, I chose to spend $200 towards refurbishing our dilapidated house, which had a leaky roof and one side exposed. Additionally, I invested $250 in purchasing a cow, leaving the remainder for essential food supplies. Despite the ongoing strain of school fees and other obligations, I am immensely grateful to now possess a decent home, a dream fulfilled thanks to the generous assistance of the organization."

"The collapse of my business last year has left me in a situation where I must rely solely on these transfers to meet my needs. However, depending solely on transfers not only presents financial challenges but also fosters a sense of dependency. Therefore, my priority is to rebuild my business as soon as possible, utilizing these transfers as a stepping stone to raise the necessary capital. Additionally, I aspire to enroll my four-year-old child in school next term, which will entail additional financial commitments. Once I have addressed these immediate goals, my focus will shift towards long-term investments. One such aspiration is to save towards purchasing a cow, which I view as both a sustainable investment and a symbol of resilience beyond the duration of this project. By leveraging these transfers strategically, I aim to not only address my immediate needs but also lay the groundwork for future financial stability and prosperity. Through diligent planning and prudent allocation of resources, I am confident in my ability to overcome challenges and achieve my aspirations."

"Leveraging my tailoring abilities, I am embarking on establishing a tailoring business to generate income and provide support for my family. With a goal of launching the venture this June, I am diligently saving funds to cover expenses such as purchasing clothing materials and renting a shop space. Having already secured a sewing machine, I am focused on accumulating the necessary resources to ensure the successful setup and operation of the business. Words cannot express the depth of my gratitude for the financial assistance that has significantly improved the quality of life for my family."

"In the coming year and beyond, I aspire to buy livestock. When I enrolled in the cash transfer program, my initial desire was to own a goat. However, the constraints of fees and food for my seven children hindered me from realizing this goal. I am delighted that we recently harvested maize produce from our farm, providing my family with food for the next couple of months. I want to leverage this opportunity to start buying goats. I am confident that selling them in the future could help meet urgent needs, such as school fees, and alleviate some of the hardships we face."

"More than anything, I want to own goats. I have been hoping to buy livestock ever since I started receiving the cash transfers, but there has been no chance to do so. This is because I am mostly constrained by the school fees of my three children, who look up to me to provide for them. I still hope that I will be able to save to buy goats and start creating wealth. I also wish to build a house. I currently share a one-room structure with all my children, and I feel that sharing the space will prove inappropriate as they grow older. I would be glad if I built a two-room one. To achieve these goals, I have been saving $10 every month through a savings club, and I hope to accumulate a significant lump sum next year to get started."

"What I appreciate most about GD is their unconditional cash transfers, allowing us to use the money based on our individual needs. Thanks to this support, I was able to fulfill my dream of purchasing a dairy cow. Soon, this cow will calve, saving me from the expense of buying milk and ensuring my young grandchildren have milk for their tea without any worries of taking black tea. This assistance from GD has made a significant difference in my life, and I am truly grateful for it."
