Rose
received a $467 third payment.
"I spent a portion of my third transfer on tiling my floor, something I had admired so much but had no means of acquiring. I am glad that heart desire of owning a tiled house was finally accomplished. Secondly, i purchased clothes for my children who were almost walking naked from the torn and worn out clothes that they owned. Lastly, I lacked most household items which again I had to purchase to avoid too much borrowing from my neighbors."

Feny
received a $467 third payment.
"I spent my third transfer on plastering my house which was by then made of mud and produced much dust which affected my family's health. I also constructed an extra room which could serve me both as a bedroom for my children and a kitchen. I am glad that my children no longer seek for accommodation from the neighborhood as was the case before."

Mary
received a $484 third payment.
"I bought a bull to help me in ploughing during farming season then I built a kitchen because the one I had before was small and it also doubled as the bedroom for the children so I had to finish cooking fast and let them sleep and the rest of the money I used in buying food for the children."
