received a $482 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I will soon own a better descent house that is iron-roofed and demolish my curren thatched house which is seriously leaking. Living in a leaking house has been very disastrous since whenever it rained when we are away then out belongings would be rained on and some would get destroyed. Lack of a descent house has even made us to take two of our children to stay with their maternal grandmother because our house is leaking and no enough space. I even noticed that my grown up daughters feel ashamed bringing their friend home due to lack of a descent place. Owning a better house would make me bring back my children who study from their grandmother's home and we will live together happily as a family."

Cesilia
received a $482 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I managed to plaster my entire house and this has made me move to a higher level in life. I had wished to plaster my house but I lacked enough resources. Plastering my house has saved me from frequent house repair using local materials which I had to do everyone and had proved expensive in terms of time, energy and money. I can today keep my house very clean since it's much easier to clean."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that today, I own a cow which is a great investment and as time goes by, its value is appreciating and my plan is to later on change it to money to pay my children school fees. I have triplets and I have to start planning for their future early enough for me not to be overwhelmed."

Caroline
received a $482 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that today I own a kitchen where my children sleep without any worry and I also cook without any worry of the rains. I managed to expand my house which enables me to accommodate many guests especially church members during fellowship. Before I lived in a very small house and I could get so worried when I was to have many guests because I knew they would not fit in my house. My children would sleep at a neighbour's kitchen and it was very risky moving to that place at night but today, their security is guaranteed because they do not have to go sleep at a neighbour's anymore."

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."
