"In the coming year and beyond, I would want to purchase livestock, especially goats. I believe that these are valuable assets considering that they can thrive so well in my region. Also I am certain that once I will succeed in rearing them,  I will not longer be stressed up incase of any financial constraints.  Also, even as they will be increasing in number, I can as well think of exchanging them for a cow and start practising dairy farming. "

"RE "I spend the most of my recent transfer on payments of my land documents in Zwedru. I purchased two lots of land in Zwedru with my previous transfers. So i had to get the documents for it since land business is getting tough everyday"."

"RE: "I hope to have a comfortable house of my own. Because the person who build this my house spoiled the roof. Do i have used majority of my previous transfers to renovate it, and now it is left with plastering of the walls and putting of floor, which is my target for this my recent transfer "."

"RE: " In my opinion, givedirectly is doing very well for us. Because they brought this money on time to recuse some of us from suffering. I want to take this time to tell givedirectly thank you very much"."

"By the end of this year, I want to have purchased all the building supplies, such as iron sheets, building poles, cement, and stones, by consolidating all the money from my monthly transfers. I'll be able to start construction on a bigger, more durable house before the rainy season starts. Knowing that I will have a better place to sleep and that my belongings are safe in the house will make me feel much more at ease."

"I have always loved farming and it has been the main source of livelihood for my family. However, my family farm has been facing some serious financial constraints in recent years, and it all started with a landslide that occurred in 1997. The landslide carried away all the good loam soil and left behind rocky soils. Since then, whenever I plant crops, I don't get the expected yields, and this has affected my income. As a result, I struggle to pay for my children's school fees, and they are often chased away from school during examination periods. This situation is heartbreaking for me as a parent because education is the only way out of poverty for my children. I have tried to supplement my income by taking on odd jobs like constructing houses, but it's not enough. I am determined to find a solution to our financial constraints, and I will do whatever it takes to provide a better future for my children"

"We are faced with a multitude of challenges. We have had a prolonged period of drought that has led to severe water shortage and pasture scarcity, so bad is the situation that wells and river source have dried up. As a result,our livestock have suffered because of lack of water coupled with the depleted pasture. We are forced to buy water at a high price price from vendors, it can get as high as $2 per 20 liter of water.If the situation does not change we foresee a situation where goats will be wiped by the vagaries of drought. The cost of pastures is too high and unaffordable and therefore we are just left to the mercy of fate because we have no means to salvage the situation."

"Life is hard for us, especially with food insecurity. The cost of living has gone up and this has made the situation horrible to put food on the table. It is so unbearable, our children have borne the greatest brunt of it. Sometimes we are forced to go to bed on an empty stomach. It worries us a lot as parents when young children cry for food yet we are unable to provide any. We have had a delayed rainy season that has further worsened the situation and led to the depletion of pastures for our livestock. Some of them have died as a result of it and made us incur losses. Every day is a struggle for us, it is hope against hope as the situation never seems to get any better."

"Climate change has impacted negatively my source of income which is livestock keeping. For the past three years , I have lost ten cows to drought. The lack of rainfall resulted in a decrease in pasture and water for livestock hence a decrease in production and also death. I struggle to raise money to purchase feeds for them and I consider this the biggest challenge."
