Mercy
received a $22 sixteenth payment.
"In the next six months, I intend to buy a motorcycle and run a taxi business. My poultry farming will be huge by then and I will use the income to buy the motorcycle. I have seen one of my neighbors turn his fortunes by using a poultry project to acquire a motorcycle and this is that I will also do in the next six months."

Joseph
received a $22 sixteenth payment.
"My farm I ready for planting potatoes and failure is unlikely because I have all the inputs necessary. In the next six months, I will have harvested a fortune and this will give me a lot of money to meet my needs and even invest more of it in farming. I see myself being a very productive farmer because I will be using certified seeds for my production."

Stephen
received a $467 initial payment.
"My life is better because this transfer has enabled me to hire casual labourers to work on my farm. This season I hope to get good yields since I have farmed on a large scale. Previously, I farmed on a small scale and I would over work myself since I couldn't hire casual labourers for lack of money. "
