"As an individual, I deeply appreciate the significance of education. My foremost accomplishment, both presently and in the future, revolves around supporting my children's education. By doing so, I aim to ensure their path towards a brighter and more prosperous future. Additionally, I am determined to empower myself through self-employment. With the promising rainfall, we anticipate a bountiful harvest. The abundance of food will allow me to save a substantial amount, enabling me to acquire my own motorcycle. Consequently, I will no longer be required to share my earnings with anyone, gaining greater financial independence."

"At the conclusion of this year, my goal is to purchase two goats. Acquiring livestock holds great potential as a transformative investment for my future. As the goat herd multiplies and grows, I will have the opportunity to sell some of them and utilize the funds to support my children's education. Investing in livestock also serves as a safety net, providing a fallback option in case of any unforeseen emergencies that may arise in the future."

"My business operates on a seasonal basis, which implies that there are periods when I cannot obtain sisal for sale. During these times, I face a lack of income. As a result, I heavily depend on my husband's earnings to meet all the family's requirements. My objective is to venture into livestock farming or establish an alternative business that can provide sustenance during these financially challenging periods. By doing so, I aim to alleviate the sole burden of supporting the family's needs from falling solely on my husband shoulders."

"For an extensive period, farming has served as our primary means of livelihood. Unfortunately, the prolonged drought conditions disrupted this agricultural activity, compelling us to explore alternative sources of income, such as wood burning to sell charcoal. However, with the current promising climatic conditions, my objective is to make substantial investments in both livestock and crop farming. Specifically, I aim to acquire bulls that can assist me in land preparation and offer their services for digging on other individuals' land. These endeavors are driven by my overarching goal of achieving financial stability and providing support for my family."

"Utilizing my monthly transfers, I intend to establish an additional income stream that can complement both my husband's earnings and the produce from our farm. One of my aspirations is to acquire a dairy cow, as the sale of its milk will generate a significant income to meet some of my personal requirements. To realize this goal, I have devised a plan to purchase goats initially. Over time, as the goat population multiplies, I will sell some of them and utilize the proceeds to eventually buy the desired dairy cow."

"As my business thrives, I have set ambitious aspirations of purchasing a piece of land. My intention is to construct a comfortable home that can accommodate all members of my family. While I am currently residing on my father's land, the prospect of owning our own property brings me immense satisfaction and pride. It ensures a future inheritance for my children and provides a sense of security as I envision a peaceful life with my beloved family."

"I have always had a passion for electrical equipment and stuff, and since I was not fortunate enough to not finish secondary school, I am currently saving up to enroll in a course at a nearby polytechnic that will allow me to pursue this passion. Every month, I set aside some money to purchase goats. I currently have seven goats, and when the time comes, I'll sell them all and utilize the money to pay for my schooling. I am so optimistic that this dream will come to pass!"

"My short-term goal is to purchase two or more oxen. The oxen will work on both my own farm and those of my neighbors, generating income for my family. My long-term goal is to purchase a small plot of land because we currently live on family property, which limits our ability to make decisions about how to run the farm."

"First and foremost, I want to express my happiness and gratitude for having the opportunity to join a hairdressing and beauty college through cash transfers. After finishing high school in 2020, I believed that my educational journey had come to an end due to the lack of funds. However, my hope was revived when I started receiving the cash transfers. Now, my goal is to complete my training by next year, after which I plan to establish my own hair salon business in my village. By opening this business, I not only aim to secure a stable income for myself but also provide convenient hairdressing services to members of my community."

"My husband is a mechanic by career and I am just a house wife. He lost his job since covid year and since then he has not secured a reliable job. This has caused lack of food in the family and sometimes our son fails to go to school due to lack of school fees. Lack of reliable source of income is the challenge I am facing in life."
