"I would like to start farming, and rear chicken for commercial purposes. I currently have twenty chicks and hopefully, they will mature, reproduce and fulfill my dreams to start a business."

"My long-term goal is to build a new house, the one that I currently live in is tiny and one side is collapsing. I plan on paying the school fees arrears and saving up for a two-roomed house. My other short-term goal is to buy chicken rear them and sell them at the market twice a month."

"I would like to be a farmer, cultivate crops and rear livestock, and later sell at the market. Currently, I feel like the green vegetable are scarce and no one in the village is cultivating if I can get a good supply of water I can accomplish this, and I will be sure to make profits and help my family."

"My short-term goal is to open a grocery shop. With the current drought, not a lot can afford to buy water for irrigation but if I can come up with enough capital and be getting the groceries from the market, the business can flourish."

"I would like to open a grocery shop. I have been saving and up to now, I have used part of it to start construction of the shop hopefully by the end of the month I can buy the stock from the market and start-up."

"I would like to start a restaurant selling breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In my village, there are no restaurants that a family can visit and enjoy a meal. It would be a great investment and I am sure it can work."

"My long-term goal is to build another house for my children. Three of my children still live with me, two girls and one boy. We all sleep in the same house, I have one bed that we all share and I would like for them to have their room and a separate bed."

"My long-term goal is to enroll in a hairdressing course, I have a passion for doing it and I would like to make it professionally. I started saving some money from GiveDirectly and as for now, I have $50 that I plan to talk to my brother to help me raise $220 for the whole course."

"I hope to build my house before the end of this year. I am also hoping to establish two acres of cocoa farm and establish a business for my wife."

"Givedirectly does everything well and I'm grateful to them for shelter over my head."
