William
received a $22 twenty-sixth payment.
"I expect to have completed building my own house at my father's compound in the next six months. This will be very nice since I don't like sharing a room with my cousins who are way younger than me. I will spend the monthly transfers to buy building materials bit by bit until I have enough. According to my plan, I will have a new house that wholly belongs to me."

Hillary
received a $21 twenty-third payment.
"I expect my life to have improved in the next six months because I will be having more sheep to my flock. I will be using the transfers to buy one every one month. This means that I will have about 5 more sheep. This will then give me a lot of money on selling the sheep. They multiply quickly and make me financially able to provide for my family. In the next six months, I will be able to take my household through famine without lacking too much on basic needs."

Beatrice
received a $22 twenty-second payment.
"I expect to have increased my savings in my merry go round group. Since schools have been suspended, I will be adding the money that I would have used on fees and school supplies for my child into the merry go round group. This way I will be saving double the money that I have been saving in the past up to the time when the coronavirus pandemic will have subsided. I will have more savings in the next six months that I have ever had in any equal period of time."

Leonard
received a $22 twenty-sixth payment.
"In the next six months, I will be having a dairy cow on my farm. I will buy a dairy cow using the money I have been saving in a merry ground in my village. This way, I will have acquired a source of milk to use in the school that I run. I will have reduced the money I would incur from buying milk for daily use. I have over 160 students in the school and the feeding program would otherwise every expansive. This will even increase the benefits I get from my business."
