"I hope to construct and probably relocate ,he is very willing to move to the next relocation by the government."

"My main objective is to acquire additional livestock, which will prove invaluable for supporting my family's education in the future. At present, I have six children who are attending primary school. By investing in livestock at this stage, I can allow them ample time to multiply, ensuring a sustainable source of income down the line. The proceeds from selling some of these animals can then be utilized to cover my children's school fees. I am pleased to note that there have been noticeable improvements in my children's education, as they are no longer faced with the frequent disruptions that previously resulted in them being sent home. This positive development brings me a great deal of happiness and reinforces my determination to continue working towards securing a brighter future for my family through educational opportunities."

"Ensuring my son's uninterrupted education is my utmost priority and a significant goal. I deeply felt a sense of sadness when he returned home one month, visibly upset and shedding tears as he witnessed his peers attending school while he remained absent. It was a poignant moment that motivated me to take firm action. Consequently, my plan is to diligently address the substantial debt accumulated from my son's schooling expenses. By paying off this debt, I am determined to ensure that he never experiences the disappointment of being sent home again and can continue his education without any interruptions. This commitment reflects my unwavering dedication to providing my son with the educational opportunities he deserves."

"Expanding my farming activities is a key goal for me, and I'm eager to lease a larger farm compared to the one I'm currently using. This decision is rooted in the belief that a bigger farm will allow me to maximize the production of crops and ultimately contribute to my financial stability. The larger farm will provide me with the space needed to cultivate a wider variety of crops, potentially increasing both the quantity and diversity of my harvests. This, in turn, will not only benefit my family's food security but also offer surplus crops that can be sold for income. By diversifying the crops I grow and expanding the scale of my farming operations, I aim to create a sustainable source of revenue. This will not only help me meet our daily needs but also enable me to plan for the future, whether it's investing in further agricultural expansion, providing for my family's education and healthcare, or addressing any unforeseen challenges. I'm grateful for the opportunities that GiveDirectly's support has opened up for me, and I'm committed to using these resources to build a more stable and prosperous future for my family."

"The impact of GiveDirectly's cash transfers on my life and our community cannot be overstated. These transfers have brought about significant positive changes, both personally and collectively. I used the cash I received to acquire goats, which hold great value for me. These goats not only represent an asset but also a source of income and sustenance. Their ability to reproduce ensures a steady stream of income and resources for my family's needs, including school fees and food. This newfound financial stability has provided a sense of security and hope that was previously elusive. Moreover, I am not alone in experiencing the transformative effects of GiveDirectly's assistance. Our entire community has witnessed positive changes. Many families have used cash transfers to improve their living conditions, invest in income-generating activities, and provide better education and healthcare for their children. As a result, our community has become more vibrant, resourceful, and economically empowered. Perhaps one of the most profound impacts has been on our collective self-esteem. In the face of relentless struggles to meet basic needs, it's easy to feel demoralized and defeated. However, the cash transfers have restored our faith in ourselves."

"My main goal is to channel my efforts towards constructing a home for my children and delving into tomato farming. To bring this vision to success, my strategy involves selling some of my goats and using the proceeds to make this dream a reality. I am grateful for the support that has played a significant role in enhancing my quality of life."

"When I learned that I would be receiving my transfer, I knew it marked the beginning of a new chapter in my life. Currently, my main source of income is my job as a driver, supplemented by occasional casual work. I live alone now, as my wife and I parted ways due to a misunderstanding, and we have two children together. Upon receiving the transfer, I immediately decided to invest in fencing my land. This step would not only allow me to cultivate fruits and generate additional income but also provide security for my property by deterring intruders. I spent $150 to the fencing project, ensuring the protection and productivity of my land. The remaining $27 was wisely used to stock up on essential food supplies for my household. I am delighted that this financial support has led to an improvement in my life, which was previously hindered by financial constraints. It has truly made a positive difference."

"Bought a cow, deposited some money on a piece of land"

"Water shortage is the current challenge I am currently facing in life. The village has had a drought that has dried up water in the nearby waterpan. I used to use 30 minutes to and from the nearby water pan but currently I use 3hrs to and from the current water pan . This has affected my health because walking for along distance with a plastic of water on the head is tedious. I have headache almost every day when I go fetch water."

"One of my long-standing aspirations within my current chicken rearing project has been to diversify my livestock endeavors, specifically by expanding into goat rearing. My goal is to gradually achieve this by constructing an additional shed and acquiring a new goat every month. Given that the cost of a goat typically amounts to around $30, I plan to initiate this expansion starting next month. This endeavour will present an opportunity for increased income for my family in the long run."
