"Receiving the third transfer was a turning point for me. I made a deliberate choice to invest in my livestock project by adding six goats to it worth $240. These goats serve as my beacon of hope, especially for my children's education. I have faith that, just as they always do, they will multiply and thrive, ensuring my children's education remains secure. With no stable employment, it is through them that I envision providing the best education for my five school-going children. The remaining funds, $200, were dedicated to their schooling. I paid $100 for my son in university and $100 for the other in secondary school. I am now a content parent, knowing that they will not be sent home, allowing them to focus on excelling in their studies"

"My primary goal is to revive my chicken-selling business, which I had to discontinue due to various challenges I encountered. The motivation behind this aspiration is to establish a sustainable source of income that will enable me to provide for my family, especially considering my current lack of any income stream. To work towards this objective, I have initiated a savings plan dedicated to financing the venture, and I am committed to setting aside a portion of my monthly transfers to ensure that I can kick start the project in the near future."

"Receiving financial support was truly exceptional, as I knew it would have a great positive impact on both my life and that of my family. I am married and blessed with four children, and our livelihood primarily depends on available casual jobs. When the transfer arrived, my immediate priority was to invest $100 in purchasing two goats to add to the ones I already had. Goats are easy to maintain and provide a potential source of income in case of emergencies. Secondly, I acquired plastic chairs worth $30, and lastly, I purchased a sack of maize for $50 to stock up on food in our house. The joy and relief I feel knowing that we have food readily available are immense, as this was a challenging task before due to our meager earnings from casual jobs, which were barely enough to cover our basic needs."

"My primary aspiration has always centered around establishing a successful livestock rearing project. Initially, I embarked on this journey with the purchase of three goats, utilizing my previous transfers as capital. However, my ambition is to further expand this endeavor by steadily adding more to my flock. To ensure consistent progress, I have committed to setting aside a minimum of $10 regularly. By December, I aim to see my livestock count grow to at least 10 goats, bringing me one step closer to realizing my long-held dream of a thriving and sustainable livestock enterprise."

"My primary objective is to establish a chicken-rearing project with the intention of providing financial support for my children's education in the future. To realize this goal, my plan is to construct a chicken coop at the beginning of next month, in October, and initiate the process of acquiring chicken through the monthly transfers I'll be receiving and I plan to start with 2 chicken and increase as months go by."

"My goal is to overcome the financial obstacles that have hindered my educational pursuits and achieve my dream of enrolling in college to study engineering. The stress of being out of school while my peers advance in their education has been a constant burden, primarily due to the absence of reliable financial support from my parents, who face a lack of a stable income source. To attain this goal, I am committed to be allocating a significant portion of my monthly income towards building the necessary funds for my education. By doing so, I not only aspire to secure my own future but also aim to uplift my family's situation in the long run."

"My foremost aspiration is to attain a presentable and spacious home for my family. Our current dwelling is a modest mud-walled house, which is increasingly inadequate for our family of five. Recognizing the need for more space and better living conditions, I am determined to construct a four-room permanent house by May next year. To accomplish this objective, I am committed to diligently allocating a portion of my monthly transfers towards purchasing the necessary construction materials, gradually accumulating them to ensure the timely completion of our new home."

"My primary objective is to provide my family with a safe and comfortable living space. Currently residing in a deteriorating two-roomed house, accommodating my family of six has become increasingly challenging, especially during the rainy season when we are exposed to the rain To achieve this goal, I am committed to diligent financial planning and saving, allocating a portion of my monthly transfers towards the construction of a more better house. I plan to begin purchasing essential construction materials gradually to ensure that, by the beginning of next year, we can embark on building a new and improved house that will offer our family the security and space we desperately need."

"My primary goal is to provide unwavering support for my six school-going children's education. My husband and I have faced ongoing challenges in managing their school fees due to limited income sources. However, I am determined to see them through their educational journey successfully. To achieve this goal, I plan to allocate a significant portion of my monthly income towards clearing any outstanding school fees balances they may have. My ultimate aim is to ensure that they can continue their education without interruptions or the fear of being sent home, thereby enabling them to experience a seamless educational path."

"Food shortage is the challenge I am currently facing in life. I do subsistence farming but it is four years now without having rain in the village. This has caused family and drought. Most of the time my family goes without food and ineffective my children have even missed classes and this has affected their performance."
