Faridah
received a $22 twentieth payment.
"My expectation in the near future is to build a bigger house for my family. We currently stay in quite a small house which was built when our family was still small. My parents used the little resources they could afford to build the tiny house we lived in. Right now, there is a need to build a bigger one that will accommodate us all. I have had this dream for a while but since money is scarce and with the pressing needs, I have had to postpone it. I am glad I finally had the chance to fulfill my dream."

David
received a $39 twelfth payment.
"I spent my transfer on paying school fees arrears for my son who is in primary school. He had been sent home and had stayed home for three days as I was still looking for the money. I was not feeling well because his fellows were in school studying while he was at home doing nothing. This is why I chose to first settle the arrears first so that he may get back to school. I also saved part of the transfer just for future use in case of any financial emergency. The rest of the transfer I used on buying food for my family. I did not want to wait until the little we had in store was used up."
