"In the upcoming year and beyond, my heart's deepest desire is to transform the life of my son, Charles, and secure a brighter future for our family. It all begins with ensuring Charles receives the proper medical care he so desperately needs. For too long, our dreams have been overshadowed by the harsh reality of his condition, making it impossible to even consider renovating our humble home. But now, with the support of GiveDirectly, I see a glimmer of hope. With each passing day, I envision Charles regaining his strength and vitality, free from the constraints of illness. Once he's on the path to recovery, I will dedicate myself wholeheartedly to renovating our house, transforming it into a safe and comfortable haven for our family."

"Receiving support from GiveDirectly has been a game-changer for me and my family. I plan to expand my livestock farming by purchasing more goats. Currently, I have three goats, but I dream of growing my herd to improve our livelihood. I plan to save $10 each month, and after every four months, I'll use my savings to buy a goat. Over the coming year and beyond, I hope to build a sustainable farming business that ensures a better future for my children, providing them with opportunities I never had. This journey, fueled by the generosity of GiveDirectly, fills me with hope and determination to succeed."

"In the coming year and beyond, I hope to buy more goats and make a lasting mark of GiveDirectly's impact on my home. I plan to save $15 monthly to make this dream come true. Each month, as I set aside that money, I imagine my herd growing, giving me a stronger sense of security and stability. With more goats, I can provide better for my family and ensure a steady source of income. This goal motivates me every day, and I am determined to see it through. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for the opportunity to improve our lives, and I am committed to making the most of it by building a thriving goat farm."

"As I sit under the leaking roof of my humble home, I can't help but dream of a brighter future ahead. For too long, the constant drip-drip of rainwater has been a reminder of the struggles we face each day. But now, with the support of GiveDirectly, I have a plan, and a goal to strive towards. In the coming year and beyond, my focus is to transform this old, worn-out grass-thatched roof into a sturdy roof made of iron sheets. With each passing month, I envision myself one step closer to my dream, purchasing two pieces of iron sheets at a time until I have enough to build a two-room mud wall house. No longer will I fear the rainy season, will I wake up to find puddles forming on the floor. This is more than just a house renovation; it's a symbol of hope, resilience, and the determination to create a better life for myself and my family. With GiveDirectly by my side, I am confident that I can turn this vision into reality."

"In the coming year and beyond, my heart is set on the goal of securing two plowing bulls for my family's future. It's a dream that carries the weight of generations past and the promise of generations to come. With a cost of around $300, it may seem like a small feat to some, but for me, it's a monumental step towards stability and prosperity. Through diligent saving from the profits of my humble business, I've crafted a plan to turn this dream into a tangible reality. I envision a future where the rhythmic plowing of fields becomes not just a means of livelihood but a symbol of resilience and progress. With two sources of income from both the plowing and the shop, I see a horizon where I can provide for my loved ones without the constant strain of uncertainty."

"As a recipient of GiveDirectly, I am filled with determination and hope for the coming year and beyond. My main goal is to renovate my house, a humble abode that has been my shelter through thick and thin. The corroded roof and leaking iron sheets have been a constant reminder of the struggles I face. With the support I've received, I am now able to embark on this journey to transform my home into a safer and more comfortable space. I plan to purchase one iron sheet every month until I have enough to complete the renovation. Currently, I have 7 pieces of iron sheets, and I need a total of 13 to cover the whole roof. This project symbolizes more than just a physical transformation; it represents resilience, determination, and the power of hope for a brighter future."

"Receiving support from GiveDirectly has given me hope and a clear vision for the future. My current house is small and in poor condition, but now I have a plan to build a two-room mud-wall house that will provide my family with a safe and comfortable home. Each month, I save enough to buy two pieces of iron sheets for the roof, and so far, I've managed to gather seven sheets. The contractor told me I need 24 sheets to complete the house, so I'm determined to keep saving and buying until I reach my goal. In the coming year, I am confident that with careful planning and perseverance, I will have all the materials needed to build our new home. Beyond that, I hope to continue improving our living conditions and perhaps even start a goat farming investment."

"In the coming year and beyond, my main goal is to concentrate on educating my kids. I truly believe that education is the best inheritance I can give them for a brighter future. With the transfers I receive from GiveDirectly, I plan to carefully balance this money with the profit from my grocery business to ensure that my children get a good education. I want them to have opportunities that I never had, and I know that by investing in their schooling, I am setting them up for success. My dream is to see them grow into knowledgeable and capable adults who can achieve their dreams and improve our family's situation. This hope drives me every day, pushing me to work hard and manage our resources wisely."

"In the next year and beyond, I aim to ensure my school-going children have uninterrupted access to education and to achieve this, my primary goal is to expand my current business. By February next year, I plan to diversify by adding shoe and clothing sales to my existing business. This will help me generate more profits and save for my children's future education."

"In the next year and beyond, my main goal is to ensure a smooth learning process while pursuing my college course. I started receiving transfers before joining college and have been saving part of them since my parents couldn't support me due to their lack of income. The transfers have been crucial in paying my monthly rent worth $15 and covering other needs. Moving forward, I plan to continue using the transfers for my rent and setting aside small amounts to start a clothing business worth $500 once I complete my education in July next year(2025) as this will help me earn an income."
