Lucy
received a $460 initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is the fact that I am happy because I completed paying for my plot of land. I am now relieved from the owner who had put me on pressure to give him his money yet I was hoping to clear him if the harvest is ready.
In addition to this, I am happy that I was able to buy an ox that will aid in the farming."

Benson
received a $49 eighth payment.
"In as much as I was employed, the income I used to earn wasn't enough to meet most of my needs and in most cases, I could borrow loans to boost me. I'm happy things changed and life became better when I started receiving the GD transfers. This is because I have been using GD transfers to meet most of the family's needs thus reducing the load I had previously."
