Dama
received a $25 tenth payment.
"As I strive to achieve the aim of improving my quality of life, my focus is on making prudent investments with my monthly transfers. One of my primary objectives is to acquire livestock, particularly goats, and provide them with proper care to facilitate their multiplication. By gradually expanding the size of my herd, I will eventually be able to sell some of the animals. The proceeds from these sales will then be utilized to purchase a bull, which can serve the dual purpose of assisting with agricultural tasks and cultivating my land. Furthermore, I can generate additional income by offering land preparation services to others in exchange for monetary compensation, utilizing the bull's labor. In this way, I will be accomplishing two goals simultaneously, effectively maximizing the benefits derived from my investments."

Kadzo
received a $25 tenth payment.
"heading towards the end of the year and beyond, my primary objective is to revitalize my house. Currently, my grass-thatched roof is in a dire state, with the grass decaying and leaks occurring whenever it rains. This unfortunate situation not only damages my belongings but also robs me of peace of mind. To rectify this, I have devised a plan to completely replace the existing roof with sturdy iron sheets. By undertaking this roof replacement, I will ensure the safety of my possessions and alleviate the need to stay awake all night, constantly rearranging items in my house to protect them from rainfall."
