"Once I complete my studies, I am eager to dive into the world of tailoring. I dream of having my very own shop, where I can weave my creativity into unique clothing designs and bring my fashion ideas to reality."

"I do not have a steady job, and I am always on the move to support myself. My goal is to save money from my transfers to open a small shop where I will sell various items, including vegetables. Thanks to GiveDirectly, I can now consider ways to make my future brighter."

"I want to invest in goats. I currently have four and aim to increase them to ten with savings from my transfers. I believe that through this goat investment, we can secure our future, including my children's education."

"I aim to buy more chickens and sell their offspring to eventually purchase a cow. I already have seven bulls, and with the cow, I can provide milk for my children and sell the extra to neighbors to support my family while I am unemployed."

"I work as a motorcycle driver, but sometimes I work all day and earn nothing. To secure a brighter future, I have opened a bank account and started saving. My goal is to invest in my own shop, believing that even a small investment can lead to a better future."

"I aim to buy more goats by saving from my transfers soon. I once had fifteen goats, but drought forced me to sell some for food, and the others sadly perished. Investing in goats feels like securing my family's future."

"The one thing that brings me happiness and excitement is the fact that my children are still able to go to school. To ensure that they can complete their studies and achieve their life goals, I joined a merry-go-round savings group. This way, I won't have to struggle as much to pay their fees. I want them to have the opportunities in life that I didn't have before."

"I aspire to be self-employed as I have been actively searching for a job without success. My goal is to purchase a sewing machine to start a tailoring business. With that I can easily give my family a better and quality life. I will also be able to create an opportunity for other youths that I can easily hire."

"Financial constraints is the biggest challenge due to unstable income. I am a farmer, and due to the inconsistent rain patterns it has not been productive hence a decrease in income. My husband gives me a helping hand by doing casual jobs but it is still not enough to cater to our basic needs."

"The lack of a stable source of income is a big constraint. I rely on farming in order to meet my family's basic needs but due to unpredictable weather patterns. Sometimes I lack enough money to put my children in school and as a resulted I borrow loans to make ends meet."
