Josphine
received a $482 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that am in a more presentable house than before. Plastering has saved me a lot of energy and time which I would spend in repairing my house with traditional materials. I now have more time to spend on my farm hence better farm produce. My house is also easier to clean and this has improved my family's general hygiene hence improved health conditions."

Beatrice
received a $482 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is the acquisition of my own house that has relieved me from the monthly payment of rent. Similarly, I have been freed from the rules and regulations set by the landlord which at times could lead me into a lot of disagreements with him."

Samson
received a $482 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now own most of the assets which I wished to have but I lacked the money to buy them. My wife used to complain a lot over her back pain but since we bought nice seats, the pain has reduced. My children used to admire children whose parents owned TV but they can today enjoy watching TV in their own house and I too do not have to live home at night in the name of going to watch football in the nearby centre. This has also strengthened the bond between my wife and I."

Celestine
received a $482 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that my house looks very presentable since I purchased very nice furniture. I do not worry anymore like I used to before when I had guests because I had no seats for my guests to even sit on and I could borrow seats from my neighbour for the period I had guests. The neighbour never gave me the respect I deserved because she knew that I would still borrow her seats when I had guests. Purchasing my own seats has even earned me some respect from the same neighbour."

"My life has improved and I feel relieved of the stress of how to raise money for building my mum a better house. Having built her a house I also now have a place to build my own house, I now feel relieved, proud and independent."
