Alice
received a $482 second payment.
"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that we currently live in a warmer house since the new house is not leaky. Again, my house can never run out of domestic water any more since I have a bicycle that enables me to fetch more water over longer distances within the shortest time possible."

Daniel
received a $466 third payment.
"I spent my third transfer on buying three bulls for ploughing. Previously I could use my bare hands to plough and this was so tiring and time-consuming and sometimes planting season could pass without me tilling my farm and that meant no harvest. This is a gone case now given that I now have my own bulls and I plough on time like the others."

Anna
received a $482 second payment.
"I believe that if I would have never received the transfers, constructing an iron-roofed house would still be a mirage to me-I would still be hopeless of one day walking out of a leaky grass-thatched house."
