"Receiving this money means building a permenent house that I will sleep in with my spouse and child. I want to build a house because it is very difficult now to find grass for thatching in our community and one has to hire a vehicle in order to look for grass which is costly for my household."

Betty
received a $442 second payment.
"My life is now improved because I constructed an iron roofed house which I never envisioned building by myself. This is because of the severe poverty I lived in. Previosuly, it was very expensive for me to renovate the thatched house I currently sleep in. But with this iron roofed house, I will no longer face such a problem hence making my life much easier."

Sarah
received a $442 second payment.
"Currently, my life has changed because I am happy having money at hand that enables me to spend as I please. For example, my children go to school early enough without worrying about where to get money for fees or their scholastic materials, I feed my family on a balanced diet and on timely basis. Prior to getting this transfer, I had to do casual labour to raise money and my children could stay home even for a whole term, my family and I would either have one meal a day or go without food because the one we cultivated was not enough to sustain my family subsistencely and commercially.
