Dama's family
access_time over 1 year ago
Dama received a $24 tenth payment.
"My primary goal is to ensure that my children's education is not jeopardized due to fees. I currently do not have a steady source of income and rely on the transfer to keep my six children in school. I have been selling charcoal, which is difficult to do on a daily basis due to its nature. It is time-consuming, and authorities forbid it. I only sell once a week and am occasionally unable to sell for an entire month. This made it difficult for me to pay school fees for my six children while also providing for my family's basic needs, such as food. Because of my financial situation, I may be unable to educate my children on my own. As a result, I rely on the transfer for my children's school fees to ensure that they meet their educational objectives."
Christine's family

Christine received a $24 fourteenth payment.
"In the coming year and beyond, I plan to invest my transfers in purchasing goats, which I consider to be assets I can comfortably keep. So far, I have purchased five goats that I am currently raising. I do not have a reliable source of income, so owning goats will provide me with a source of income. By selling the goats, I will be able to easily raise funds for my children's school fees."
Janeth's family

Janeth received a $141 initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life since receiving the first transfer is the presence of fencing around my compound, as I prepare to plant grass for my livestock. This development has had a significant impact, not just in the present when I have a limited number of livestock, but also for the future when I plan to expand my herd. The fencing ensures the safety and containment of my animals, providing a secure environment for them to graze and thrive. This improvement has brought a sense of stability and long-term planning to my daily activities, setting the foundation for a successful and sustainable livestock farming venture."
