Edward
received a $22 nineteenth payment.
"I expect to make changes in my life in the future because once I buy the cow, it will generate enough milk which I can also sell out to my clients at some profit. Just in case I run into a calamity or financial distress, then I can use the money"

Florence
received a $22 twentieth payment.
"My expectation in the near future is to be able to have made enough savings to be able to buy a plot and build. Having continually invested in my tea business, I hope I will make enough returns later to help me build a plot. This I will lease out and get some income. I will be able to better look after my family well. This will generally improve our lifestyle."

Florence
received a $22 fifteenth payment.
"I am currently living in my in-laws compound and I am required ( tradition)to move out into my own compound. This is usually a man's responsibility but since my husband is late, I have to man up and ensure this is done. I have been buying the necessary construction materials over the past months and I am glad that I am close to my goal. My current house is very tiny and in a very dilapidated state as well, so my only expectation is that in six months, I will have constructed a better house in my home."

Paul
received a $22 nineteenth payment.
"Even though I am a full-time student, I also continue to work in house construction whenever I can so that I can be able to save more money for my college fees and my upkeep as Give Directly transfers will soon stop. This is quite hectic because I have no time to rest and my overall health will soon be affected. To have a better life, I decided to apply for a Higher Education Loan that is offered by the Government to college students which I hope will pay for a huge portion of my college fees so that my savings can be left to cater for my personal needs. When this happens, I will stop working during the weekends which will give me enough time to focus on my studies."
