"I primarily engage in casual labor jobs, often clearing farms for individuals, especially in anticipation of the rainy season. Unfortunately, finding employment has proven challenging lately due to the current dry season. Consequently, I've encountered difficulties in meeting my children's school fees obligations. My objective with the upcoming transfers is to allocate them towards settling my children's school fees, thus ensuring they have an optimal learning environment. I am immensely grateful for the financial assistance provided through these transfers, as they have significantly aided me in providing for my family's needs."

"Looking ahead, my goal is to expand our farming endeavors to achieve greater self-sufficiency and stability. With the support of forthcoming transfers, I aim to invest further in livestock and agricultural activities. This will not only enhance our livelihood but also provide a buffer against unexpected expenses, such as medical emergencies. The assistance we receive has been transformative, empowering us to overcome challenges and pursue a brighter future. I am deeply thankful for this opportunity and remain committed to utilizing it effectively to secure a better life for myself and my family."

"My aim for this year is to venture into livestock farming, specifically raising goats. Although I currently do not own any, I recognize their potential for profitability, especially in our region where they thrive with minimal attention. I intend to save and utilize future transfers to realize this goal. Establishing this business will not only provide a sustainable source of income but also ensure that my daughter's tuition fees are covered, giving me peace of mind. I am sincerely thankful for the assistance that enables me to pursue these goals and look forward to the opportunities it will bring."

"My aim for the upcoming year is to ensure that my children can pursue their studies without any hindrances. As someone who didn't have the opportunity for formal education myself, I strongly believe in its importance for a brighter future. I plan to use the upcoming transfers to cover their school fees, as I believe education opens doors to better opportunities. Providing my children with an education will equip them with the skills they need to secure good jobs in the future, enabling them to support themselves. I am immensely grateful to the organization for their assistance, which allows me to provide this invaluable gift to my children"

"I bought a very huge cow at 2500000 and now I am even enjoying the milk"

"In the upcoming months, my primary focus is to make substantial investments in acquiring livestock, with a particular emphasis on goats known for their rapid reproduction, thereby facilitating a swift multiplication of my investment. The proceeds from the sale of these goats will significantly contribute to financing my education and meeting other future requirements. I am deeply grateful for the financial assistance provided by Give Directly, as it has played a pivotal role in furthering my education. Without this support, I would have been unable to pursue my studies and would have remained confined at home instead of attending school."

"As a student responsible for covering my own school fees through transfers, my immediate focus is on settling my current year's fee arrears, which stand at a manageable $40. Once this financial obligation is met, my next objective is to embark on saving towards the construction of my own house. To facilitate this goal, I plan to allocate $20 of my transfers towards purchasing iron sheets, an essential material for the construction process. The remaining portion of the transfers will be allocated to address recurrent needs such as food and other necessities. The desire for a place to call my own is motivated by the current discomfort of residing at my uncle's house. Owning a house will not only provide me with a sense of independence and privacy but also offer a comfortable and secure living environment. By prioritizing the clearance of my fee arrears and diligently saving towards homeownership, I aim to realize my aspiration of owning a house and achieving greater stability and autonomy in my living arrangements."

"My main focus is securing a better home for my family. Our current house is almost collapsing. I've had to resort to purchasing poles just to prop it up temporarily. My plan is to join a merry-go-round group and contribute the cash transfers from GiveDirectly towards purchasing building materials. With the rainy season looming, there's a sense of urgency to provide a safer home for my family. I'm determined that I will achieve this through the support of the cash transfers."

"With the help of the cash transfers I've been receiving from Givedirectly, I'm looking forward to achieving several goals in the coming year. I'm excited that soon, I will be owning a motorbike. This will not only enable me to run my own business but also help me to comfortably pay off the motorbike loan. Additionally, I plan to use the funds to build my family a permanent house, as our current one cannot withstand the harsh rainy weather. Furthermore, I will acquire more livestock and venture into dairy farming for an additional income generation. Givedirectly has given me hope in life."

"With the support of Givedirectly transfers and my earnings, I'm diligently saving towards a goal for the coming year. My aim is to own a motorbike, which I see as the key to creating a sustainable source of income. Moreover, I plan to start a family, by finding a wife with whom I can build a stable home. Despite my aspirations, I remain committed to supporting my siblings until they're able to stand on their own feet. I'm forever grateful for the monthly transfers from GiveDirectly."
