"My mother passed away while giving birth to me and I had to be raised by my grand mother. She managed to raise me properly though I had to drop out of school while in primary level-class 7 due to lack of school fees. This meant growing up without some motherly love and adequate education and now getting a job for myself has been very tough. This for me is the biggest hardship I have ever experienced. "

John
received a $453 second payment.
"If I had never received the transfer, I would still be poor but when I recieved the transfer, I am now also moving at the same pace as those who were a little better than I was. This is because I also have a permanent house and sleep well, I have my own oxen that help me to generate an income and I am able to host people in my home and serve them without much worry of lacking enough utensils.

"When I was still unmarried, I ventured into poultry keeping by starting with three chicken and after a while, they multiply into a good number. Later, they were sold and my father used the cash to rent a piece of land for him to start farming. This is the achievement I am proudest of since I opened the door for my father to start farming. "
