received a $24 thirteenth payment.
"My current house is too small, and I am eager to begin the construction of a larger one. I plan to gradually save up and purchase one metal sheet at a time for this project. This will simplify my work and make me have an easy time in planning and buying things that I do not have."

Hamisi
received a $24 seventeenth payment.
"My primary goal is to upgrade my living space to accommodate my growing family's needs. Currently, I reside in a one-room house, which has become increasingly cramped as my family expands. To address this, my objective is to construct a spacious two-room house that can provide a more comfortable living environment for my family. To achieve this, I have devised a financial plan, setting aside approximately $30 towards the project and aiming to commence construction when I have accumulated at least $100, ensuring a secure and improved home for my loved ones."

Priscillar
received a $24 seventeenth payment.
"My primary goal is to fully renovate my dilapidated house by the end of this year. While I've made some initial efforts with the limited funds I could gather, the renovation remains incomplete. My main focus now is to plaster all the walls, ensuring they are sturdy enough to withstand rain and erosion. To achieve this, I am committed to setting aside a portion of my income and transfers specifically for this project with the aim of seeing it to completion."

Josphat
received a $24 thirteenth payment.
"My primary goal is to successfully complete my high school education without any outstanding school fees balances. As I enter my second year of high school, I am determined to utilize any available resources, including transfers or financial assistance, to clear any remaining dues and ensure that by the time I graduate, I am debt-free to the school. I therefore plan to save a portion of these transfers to cover the costs of the remaining school fee terms, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted educational journey towards my future aspirations."
