Maxwel
received a $39 twelfth payment.
"I spent my transfer on paying my house rent. At the time I was receiving the transfer, I did not have any money to pay since I do not have any stable source of income. The rest of the transfer I used on buying food so that I may not run out of what to eat during the month."

Millicent
received a $22 twenty-first payment.
"My new goal in the next six months is that I will be having a new house built through GD transfers. On my own, I have tried raising money for building a new house but due to low income from casual work and farming, I have not been able to raise enough money to meet my family needs and even buy building materials. Right now, I believe I will finally have the house because I have made a significant step and since GD will be sending me the transfers for the next 11 years, I know I will achieve this goal with the transfers."

Michael
received a $22 twenty-first payment.
"In the next six months, I am hoping to have started buying building materials for the construction of a better house. It won't be that costly because we are only left with my wife all my children are grown and most of them have their homes. That means I will construct a small but beautiful house."

Obat
received a $22 seventeenth payment.
"My life will be different in the next six months in that I will never have to rely on others for my personal needs as before the transfers. I am soon finishing the mechanic course which I have been doing for the better part of this year. Without the transfers, I would not be hopeful about the future as I am now. This is because I did not have any income and was just at home relying on my parent for every need. When I am done with the training and finally get a job. I will have a bright future and because of GD transfers. Without the transfers, I would not be looking forward to the future."
