Dalmas
received a $22 tenth payment.
"I expect my life to change b in the next six months in that I will have plastered my house. I would want to make my house more presentable and strong. I can only manage this through plastering of the house. I want to use my transfers to buy building materials such as cement and sand which I will use in plastering my house."

"The biggest hardship in my life is lack of necessities to make life enjoyable. Necessities like food, medication, education, are among the many I lack. This is caused by lack of a reliable source of income that is capable of solving most of the problems. "

"Sleeping in an iron roofed house is what receiving this money means to me. That will improve on my living conditions as opposed to the grass thatched house that I sleep in now. It has a leaky roof coupled with grass which is now scarce and difficult to find. I will be relieved from the burden of looking for it for long distances and meeting high costs of collecting it."

Zawadi
received a $533 initial payment.
"Owning five goats is the biggest difference in my daily life so far. I am hoping very soon they will multiply because currently, some have started reproducing. My wish is to exchange the off-springs for a dairy cow. This is because buying a dairy cow is very expensive which I cannot afford to purchase at the moment. My hope is that when I get the dairy cow, I will be getting milk for my family consumption and also sell some. Thus, this income will be helpful in paying school fees for my children and also cater to my other basic family's needs."

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to buy and store some produce for the family. I will be selling some in future to raise money for providing other basic needs. Also some of the produce can be eaten as food hence there may be no more famine in family."

Wilis
received a $22 fourteenth payment.
"In the next six months, I have plans for saving some money so that I can purchase more goats for rearing. Since goats are cheap and easy to maintain, I prefer them. In addition to that, they give birth twice a year thus by the end of the year I'll have additional goats."

Sarah
received a $22 nineteenth payment.
"In the next six months, I am very sure that I will have bought a cow, a dairy one for this case. I hope that in so doing, I will have installed an investment that will go a long way in changing and adding value to me and my family's life since it will be producing milk both for domestic and commercial use."

Juliana
received a $533 initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that my children are no longer sent home to collect school fees and their performance has improved compared to previous results. I no longer struggle so much on the casual jobs in the village and I have devoted much of my time on my own farm and it has resulted in good production. I used to do casual jobs and the payment was so small and it was not enough to gather for both the household basic need and at the same time pay school fees for my children. I'm so happy with the support it has made my work so easy and flexible. I did not have any cow before of my own but I have two now and having this has given us much hope in our family for the future."
