Mwenda
received a $24 thirteenth payment.
"In the upcoming year and beyond, my primary goal centers around acquiring a pair of oxen. For too many years,I have relied solely on my own physical strength, and the weariness has taken its toll. I have made a commitment to save diligently each month, inching closer to the day I can finally have these reliable companions. With oxen by my side, I envision not only lightening my own load but also significantly improving my family's well-being. They will assist in everyday tasks, from carrying water from the dams to aiding in our farming endeavors. This step signifies not just a personal upgrade but a path to a more efficient and prosperous life for my family."

Kadhengi
received a $24 eighteenth payment.
"As an elderly individual without any support system, I find myself solely responsible for meeting my own needs. With the upcoming transfers, my intention is to allocate the funds towards purchasing essential food items. Unfortunately, despite my diligent efforts in cultivating crops, I was unable to reap any harvest. This unforeseen outcome has further emphasized the importance of exploring alternative avenues for sustenance. In addition to securing food, I also plan to invest a portion of the funds in acquiring more livestock. This represents a valuable opportunity for long-term financial stability, as livestock can serve as a reliable source of wealth generation. By engaging in this investment, I hope to establish a foundation that will sustain me for years to come, ensuring a more secure future. I am immensely grateful for the financial support I have received thus far, as it has been instrumental in helping me navigate these challenging times. The assistance I have received has provided a lifeline, enabling me to survive the hardships that come with limited resources. I recognize the significance of this support and am sincerely appreciative of the impact it has had on my ability to persevere."

Kadzo
received a $24 tenth payment.
"Given the prevalent poverty in my household, I have devised a plan to make substantial investments in livestock. This strategy presents a straightforward and accessible means for me to accumulate wealth for the future. By acquiring livestock, particularly those that are known for their reproductive capabilities, I can take advantage of their multiplication. When the time is right, I can sell them and utilize the funds to meet my essential needs, such as addressing my deteriorating health. Additionally, I intend to allocate some of the funds to purchase new clothes. Currently, I possess only a few worn-out garments, and acquiring new ones would greatly improve my quality of life. I am genuinely grateful for the transfers I have received, as they have played a crucial role in supporting me during this time of dependency. These financial resources have opened doors for me, enabling me to pursue opportunities that will lead to a more secure and comfortable future."
