"The financial situation at my home is quite challenging, with my parents striving to make ends meet but still unable to fulfill all our needs. Despite these hardships, I take pride in my ability to utilize the money from my subsequent transfers to fund my upcoming secondary education. My strong dedication to pursuing higher education stems from my desire to secure a promising future and support both my parents and siblings."

"My greatest accomplishment with my subsequent transfers will be finishing paying this year's school fees. This will enable me to sit for my final examinations, knowing I will get my results once they are announced. Once i am done clearing my school fee balance, I plan on investing in livestock such as hens and goats. This will help me finance my education to the university next year."

"I bought a cow because it can keep money safe."

"In the coming year and beyond, my plan is to invest in more livestock, specifically chickens and goats. I have chosen these animals because they are easy to keep and care for. Also, they have a quick maturity rate, making them ideal for breeding and generating income through the sale of their offspring. Although I currently provide taxi services with my motorcycle, the income it generates falls short of meeting my numerous household needs. By prioritizing the acquisition of goats and chickens, I aim to supplement my income significantly, thereby ensuring I can adequately provide for my family's needs and cover my sibling's education expenses. I see these livestock projects as a promising opportunity to improve our financial situation and secure a better future for my siblings. The monthly transfers I receive will play a crucial role in realizing this plan."

"For a significant portion of my life, I have been residing in a grass-thatched hut with little hope of ever upgrading to a better dwelling. Given my limited financial means, I couldn't afford the necessary materials to construct a new house on my own. However, with the assurance of receiving the monthly transfer, I have set a clear goal to save at least $10 every month. This savings plan is aimed at acquiring the essential building materials, such as iron sheets and building poles, that will enable me to construct a decent house. I am delighted that I have made significant progress in saving up for the materials. The prospect of having an iron-roofed house brings me great joy because it means I will no longer need to worry about leaks during rainy days. With a decent house in my old age, I will enjoy enhanced living conditions and greater peace of mind."

"I bought a cow and we are already enjoying the milk. I also bought a bed and a mattress."

"They are very happy, now sure that they are soon shifting to safer place because where they are living is not safe at all for staying as water is oozing from ground"

"I was in the garden with my wife when we saw the message, I was very happy that God had finally answered our prayers and sent Give directly that sent the money to us. The first thing I thought about was constructing a house as the one I stay in is inadequate."

"I woke up in the morning and to check on the phone there was a message for mobile money. I felt so happy and immediately thought of buying something out of the money."

"The lack of a reliable source of income is what has made my life much tougher. This is because we depend on subsistence farming which is always affected by drought. This has pushed us to put focus on other casual jobs like charcoal burning and aloe vera extraction. The income from these activities is hardly enough to sustain our needs. In a month, when we combine efforts with my husband, we make utmost $60. Budgeting for this money, between buying food and paying school fees is the hardest task and the education for my children is what is affected most. As a mother, it's so painful watching them desperately at home, a situation that has robbed away my joy."
