Titus
received a $532 initial payment.
"The moment I received my money I was so excited I could not believe my eyes. I was not expecting this to be early. I was so happy because I have never received such an amount of money before. At that moment I knew I would be able to expand the business that I had been operating. Immediately, I forwarded the message to my spouse who was at school at that time and she was so happy. She came home the next day and we laid down the plans together on the expenditure."

"The biggest hardship I face is shortage of land for crop cultivation. Most of my land was mortgaged by my brothers when I fell sick. It coated a lot of money that they could not bare the burden alone. I have only remained with one acre of farm land which is not able to provide better yields to support my family."

"My house is too small to accommodate my family of eight. This has forced some of my children to seek shelter in our neighbour's house. Besides, the walls are almost collapsing and the roof is leaking. The constant rattling sound of the loose iron sheets makes it difficult to sleep soundly. I am not happy with this life and my dream is to construct a bigger and better house. In addition to this I will purchase livestock for rearing that I will use during financial emergencies. "

"Receiving this money means I will be able to build an iron roofed house based on the fact that grass is so scarce these days.
I will also buy a piece of land that I can cultivate in order to increase food priductity in my household.
This will save me from the burden of buying food. "
