"Considering my advanced age, I cannot take on strenuous tasks to make money for my needs. Since I cannot also entirely depend on my children, who have families to raise, I believe keeping livestock is the best investment I can make to support me financially in the future. When I own a large herd of these animals, selling them to generate money will be easy. "

"My goal for the coming year and beyond is to ensure that I have enough resources to generate school fees for my children. I am confident that rearing livestock is the surest chance I have of raising money to support the education of my kids. Currently, I have four goats which I secured through previous transfers. My goal is to buy more and increase the herd to at least ten by the end of the year. "

Dama's family

Dama received a $27 second payment.
"I would have loved to invest the money by tilling the land and growing maize, cereals and vegetables which will ensure we have enough food in our home. However, this is an impossible goal given that the past three years have been dry due to extremely hot temperatures brought on by the effects of climate change. I want to put money in and purchase goats. Before the year is over, I intend to have acquired six goats. I have faith that once they proliferate, I will have a source of income if I ever find myself in need."
Sidi's family

"I'm hoping to have enough money saved up by the end of the year to make repairs and improve the condition of my home. Every day, the poles that were used to construct my home get weaker. Large holes in the mud walls also allow cold nighttime air to enter. My health has been greatly impacted by this, and I frequently cough at night. For the house to remain warm at night, I would like to strengthen it by erecting sturdy pillars around it and plugging the enormous holes."
