"I wish to have the best home and good business"

"I hope to buy a bigger plot of land for my sonand settle him there"

"My lifelong dream revolves around diving into livestock farming, with a special focus on raising cows. I cling to the hope that the goats I've acquired will reproduce, paving the way for me to exchange them for cows, which will eventually multiply over time. My ultimate vision is to venture into milk sales, not only to sustain my household but also to strengthen my family's income. This endeavor isn't just about profits but also about securing my children's education and ensuring their future well-being. With each step forward, my dreams are materializing, igniting a fire of determination within me to create a brighter future for my family."

"Renovating the house"

"I had never owned a cow in my life , but due to GiveDirectly transfers I'm able to own one"

"I was always mocked by people, This transfer has brought me joy that i had never experienced before"

"I have a plan to start poultry farming as a way to diversify my income. This idea seems efficient because chickens grow quickly, which means I can start seeing returns on my investment relatively soon. I'll focus on two types of chickens: the local breed and the commercial chickens. The local chickens are for hatching, while the grade chickens will serve as layers. My strategy involves buying chicks and raising them for about 2 to 3 months until they're ready to be sold. What's great about this plan is that brokers will come directly to my farm to purchase the chickens, making the selling process much smoother. Another advantage of poultry farming is that it doesn't require a huge capital investment to get started. I aim to begin with 15 chicks; 5 local breed and 10 commercial chicks. Starting a poultry farm will enable me to sell grown chickens and eggs, which will help meet our daily needs while moving away from the unsustainable practice of charcoal production"

"I'm hopeful about starting to raise chickens at home. It's a solid plan because I can easily watch over them, especially with my leg making it hard to move around. I'll sell the eggs they lay and some of the chickens when they grow and multiply. I'll begin with just a few chickens I can handle then gradually expand over time. I believe this will be an opportunity to earn a living and provide support for my daughter."

"Before the cash transfers come to an end, my goal is to establish a source of wealth that can continue to fund my children's education. I plan to achieve this by rearing livestock, particularly goats. I've already bought one goat, which has given birth to a kid, and my aim is to expand this herd whenever I have the opportunity to acquire more. In the future, I'm confident that I can sell them to help pay the school fees of my two children. I hope this dream becomes a reality because I'm not eager to return to making charcoal, as the activity is physically demanding."

"I have a goal to install a solar charging system in my house. I am happy that my sons bought me a solar panel, but they could not afford the other charging equipment like batteries. I aim to save money to purchase this equipment. Having these items will not only help fix charging and lighting issues in my household but also allow me to generate income by charging electric gadgets for my community for a fee. This will improve my independence after the cash transfers end and reduce my reliance on my sons, enabling them to focus on their own families."
