"My tailoring business is at my compound and my goal is to rent out a place out of my compound, stock up, and increase my sources of income. My other goal is to start training tailoring at a fee"

"I had bought a piece of land with the first transfer that cost $150. I plan to use my savings to build rental houses. This would increase my sources of income and take care of my family without strain."

"I work at a restaurant, I cook pastries where I get $2 a day. The money is not always enough to cater for my bills. I have five children that depend on me. My husband is sick and I am the primary caregiver of the family. The $2 helps me buy food family. Getting school fees for my children has been a challenge. Most days there are sent home which makes them miss a lot of school work. Receiving this money has helped me pay school fees arrears that had accumulated for over a year paid $200 and also build a new house for my family that cost $300. My children are now in school and I am happy."

"I would like to open a grocery shop business. My husband has a farm and I plan to cultivate it this year, plant vegetables such as spinach, okra, and legumes, and sell them at the market."

"My long-term goal is to install water at my compound and put up a business selling water. I am currently saving money and hopefully before the year ends my dreams will come true."

"The biggest difference in my daily life after receiving the transfer is that I am living in a decent structure. Before, I was disturbed a lot about the safety of the family members due to the poor condition of my house. Similarly, I am happy that I can afford to get sufficient food without much struggle and no longer have to sleep without food. Furthermore, I am planning to purchase some livestock that would be an investment for my future life."

"My poultry farm, which had more than 67 hens, failed at the end of last year. A strange illness that affected the hens caused them all to die. My attempts to save the situation were unsuccessful because all of the hens passed away within a two-week period. This year, I want to dedicate all of my time and effort to raising livestock, such as goats. I want to build up a sizable flock of goats by the end of the year, which will increase my initial investment. The choice of livestock is influenced by the severe weather we are currently having as well as the accessibility of medications that can be given to the animals in the event that a disease outbreak occurs. I'm crossing my fingers that this will work out as I search for a reliable source of income to support my family."

"My long-term objective has been to increase our household income so that we can give our kids the ideal possible life. My parents passed away before I could finish my secondary education, thus there was no one to pay for my college expenses. I have so far purchased 25 hens that I am raising as a form of future investment in order to make sure that my kids have the best possible education. For the next three months, as I have not yet attained my aim, I'm going to buy more of them. In addition, I joined a savings group wherein the fifteen of us each save $2 per month and alternately distribute it to one person each month. I do buy a goat for rearing every time I get my shares, and I still intend to keep saving and buy more goats whenever I get transfers for the next three months. They multiply every year, enhancing their profitability. The addition of the goats to the hens is a wise investment, and I'm hoping that the money I'll generate from them will allow me to easily meet my children's needs, particularly their educational needs."
