Mina
received a $367 second payment.
"I was orphaned at a young age. And later on got married to a man who left to go abroad without even a goodbye. He has never sent any assistance to us in all these years. I can now build a house to live in with my children. My parents also left me children to take care of and so it has been difficult to care for all 6 children without any assistance. I do piece work but the money is never enough. With this transfer I am now able to build a house and buy food. I have also bought seed and fertilizer in readiness for the next planting season."

Esther
received a $380 initial payment.
"I think that the biggest difference would be me being able to afford food on a daily basis because before the transfers , I was always worried about what my next meal would be. Now I dont have to worry anymore."
