"My goal is to further invest in livestock rearing. From previous cash transfers, I have acquired three goats. Ultimately, I aspire to own a dairy cow, whose milk can contribute to my family's consumption and generate income when sold. While I cannot currently estimate the cost of a cow, I plan to continue accumulating livestock like goats until I have enough to exchange for a cow in the future. I am optimistic that the cash transfers will enable me to expand my goat herd and work towards my long-term livestock-rearing goals."

"Looking ahead, I pray for continued grace to receive cash transfers, as my goal is to use the funds to build a new house. Currently, our house is one-roomed, too small for my family of six children and me, and it's aging, dating back over two years. I aim to construct another one-room house, providing enough space and privacy for everyone when completed. The children will occupy the old house while my husband and I will move into the new one. "

"Looking forward to next year, I have plans for the first few months. With the expectation of a harvest in the coming months, I aim to leverage the cash transfers to buy more goats. By the end of the year, I hope to have acquired at least five additional goats, contributing to the creation of wealth that can sustain the needs of my eight children. I express gratitude and pray for continued blessings to GiveDirectly for the impactful work they do."

"Looking ahead, my goal is to continue contributing to the merry-go-round club as I have been doing for the last few months, accumulating a lump sum that will enable me to buy more livestock, particularly goats. Currently, I have six goats obtained through the same approach. I believe that even after the cash transfers end, the livestock will serve as a valuable asset, helping me meet the needs of my household. As a widow with no external support, I must independently provide for myself and support my two grandchildren."

"Planning to buy a cow, a safer place for living, and fees for the son who is joining senior 4"

"It was a typical afternoon at home, around 15:30 pm, when the unexpected notification pinged on my phone. Engrossed in the mundane tasks of house chores, the sound of the message brought an abrupt halt to my routine. As I checked my phone, I was greeted with the delightful sight of a money transfer notification. I couldn't help but feel an immediate surge of happiness and excitement. It was as if a ray of sunshine had broken through the monotony of the day. The timing was impeccable, catching me off guard and transforming the ordinary into something extraordinary. In that precise moment, I was in the heart of my living space, surrounded by the familiar sights and sounds of home. The walls witnessed my elation as I processed the unexpected financial boost. The joy emanated from the realization that this windfall could be a catalyst for positive change. The first wave of thoughts that flooded my mind was a cascade of possibilities. My gaze wandered around the house, noticing the imperfections that had become part of the daily scenery. The leaking roof, a persistent issue that had long been neglected due to financial constraints, suddenly demanded attention."

"Since I started receiving payments from GiveDirectly, the most significant change in my life is evident in my health. I can now afford three meals a day, a luxury I didn't have before. This improvement has not only impacted my well-being but also brought happiness to my family."

"I want to invest in my children's education, My children are in form 3 and class 6going class 7. As a single mother with three children to provide for it is a bit tough on me. I would like to direct my Givedirectly transfers to pay for their schooling as my work as a charcoal seller does not make much. I would like to also have my youngest start school as they are almost of age now. I will use most of my transfers early in the year getting my child in class 7 settled as for them I need to buy new uniform as well as books which is a costly affair.."

"My goal is to get my children through school. One of my children has cleared form four, one is in grade 7 going to grade 8, another is in grade 5 going to grade six, another is in grade three going grade 4 while the last born is yet to begin school. I hope to get all of them through school There is no work someone can do in our locality and I am sure only education can give them a chance for work beyond here and that is why their schooling is my priority."
