Livingstone received a $22 twentieth payment.
"In the next six months, I will have bought a cow. This would guarantee my family a continuous supply of milk throughout the year. I believe when we have enough to use and surplus for sale it would cut our daily expenses. I will instead earn more income through the sale of milk. I feel good I am growing on a daily basis. I am now actualizing dreams I had for a long time because I now have enough capital to make the dreams come true"
