"I have a strong desire to enhance my income by making significant investments in livestock rearing. In addition to that, I am eager to venture into hen farming, both in layers and broilers, as it can provide an additional source of income to complement my current earnings. The financial support I have received thus far fills me with great joy, as it is enabling me to finally pursue long-held aspirations and turn them into reality. I am truly grateful for this opportunity to make my dreams come true with the help of the ongoing financial assistance."

"I aspire to grow my honey-selling business, fueled by the ambition to increase my income. I approach this dream with a positive mind, intending to utilize the savings from my third transfer. I firmly believe that through strategic planning and unwavering dedication, I can develop my business into a thriving enterprise that not only meets my financial aspirations but also ensures a brighter future."

"The memory of receiving the money remains fresh in my mind. I was attending a church meeting when my phone unexpectedly rang. Excitedly, I checked and found that Segovia Technology had sent me money. A wave of indescribable joy washed over me, and I promptly shared the fantastic news with my equally thrilled husband, who had coincidentally called to check if I had received the funds. Without delay, we commenced planning how to maximize the transfer, now that we had the much-needed resources at our disposal."

"My family consists of eight members, including my husband, our six children, and myself. My husband is employed as a tour guide, while I support our family by selling fruits and vegetables. Upon receiving funds from GiveDirectly, I viewed it as an opportunity to invest in securing my land through fencing and later implementing an irrigation system since it is situated near a river. Fencing will safeguard my land from intruders while I am away. Consequently, I decided to save $350, which I plan to combine with my third transfer to execute these plans. I then spent the remaining $100, using $60 to purchase food items and $40 for buying clothes. Finally, I can see a ray of hope on the horizon, as all of this was previously unattainable due to financial limitations. The meager income we generated was largely allocated to school fees and essential food supplies."

"I distinctly remember being at home, deeply engrossed in fencing my plot of land when I was suddenly startled by the sound of a message alert. As I checked my phone, I immediately realized that I had received the money that GiveDirectly had promised me. It became the happiest day of my life because I knew I had the opportunity to improve my life significantly. With well-laid plans already in place, it was incredibly easy to put the money to good use."

"Upon receiving my second transfer, I thought of investing in the construction of a decent house for myself. The existing house was small and had a grass-thatched roof. I live alone as I am still single. Financial constraints had prevented me from building a better house earlier, as my income depended on repairing plastic containers in my local area, which wasn't always a reliable source of income. Additionally, I worked part-time as a barber. Consequently, I spent $387 to purchase building materials for the house. Following that, I spent $25 on foodstuffs and settled a debt worth $30. I am absolutely thrilled that I was able to acquire the necessary materials for the house within such a short timeframe."

"I have long nurtured a strong aspiration to set up a posho mill, but unfortunately, financial limitations have hindered the realization of this dream. With my third transfer, I am determined in making this dream a reality. It signifies a golden opportunity for personal growth, despite the initial financial constraints I encountered."

"In the upcoming year and beyond, my central objective revolves around initiating a goat-rearing project and constructing a decent kitchen. My ultimate aim is to utilize the third transfer to realise this aspiration. I appreciate the achievements I have already made, and I approach the future with a profound sense of gratitude and enthusiasm."

"First, I decided to buy livestock, specifically goats. Goats are well-suited for our region because pasture is readily available and they reproduce quickly, which means I will have a growing herd in no time. Not only can I sell some of them for additional income, but I can also use them as a financial safety net for any unexpected emergencies. Also, the education of my five children has always been a top priority, so I used $50 to pay their fees. They have faced disruptions in their schooling due to financial constraints, sometimes even missing exams. It pained me to see them struggle. For now,I hope they can focus on their studies and achieve the success they deserve. I also allocated part of the money to buy building materials such as worksheets, poles, nails, and threads. Our previous house had a room that collapsed, forcing my children to seek shelter elsewhere. This was a source of great stress, but with these materials, we are on our way to constructing a stable home. Additionally, I used $50 to buy clothes for my kids, as their old ones were worn out. Restoring their self-esteem and providing for their basic needs were crucial. Finally, I used the remaining funds to buy food for my seven-member family. My husband and I each have our own small businesses, selling charcoal and local pine wine, which brings in around $10 a day. With this safety net and our investments, I'm optimistic about a brighter future for my family."

"My primary goal is to not only start my vegetable business but also to expand it into something truly remarkable. I've always dreamt of having a thriving retail shop, and this business venture is the first step towards realizing that dream. As I nurture my new business, I'll carefully reinvest profits, build a loyal customer base, and gather valuable experience to eventually establish the retail shop I've longed for. With determination and a green thumb, I'm excited to embark on this journey towards providing quality produce to my community and taking steps closer to my ultimate dream."
