Florence
received a $483 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I find it easy to run my charcoal business. I used to carry heavy load of charcoal on my head to the market which is also very far from home. This wasn't an easy task and could get myself tired most of the time but since I bought my spouse a bicycle, he has relieved me from transportation activities and my duty is only to collect charcoal from different regions then he transport them to the market place. Apart from that, I no longer buy kerosene for light provision and my children find it very easy to conduct their night studies."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have managed to buy the materials I need to plaster my house soon enough. It could have taken me ages to get these materials being that the odd jobs I do do not earn me enough."

Magoaline
received a $483 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that the fish business I commenced with the first transfer is thriving well and no longer rely on my in-laws for support as it used to be. Apart from that, I now own a land which I'll establish my home. This has been a major headache for me because my spouse started paying for it but unfortunately he died before settling the balance and the owner stood a better chance of repossessing it but now, it is fully mine after clearing the balance with the second transfer."
