Peninah
received a $22 twenty-second payment.
"In the next six months, I want to have a small business such as a retail shop business which will help sustain my family need well for the future. I cannot depend on farming as my main source of income for long because very soon I will grow old and will not be able to work on my farm as I do now. I would want to have an income-generating activity which I can carry out even in my old age. This is why I want to begin small with a retail shop business which I will be boosting on every month as I continue receiving my transfers so that by the time the transfers stop, I will have a stable source of income to help me meet my family needs."

Vincent
received a $43 twelfth payment.
"My expectation in the next six months going forward is to be someone that can be depended on in both financial matters and social matters. This is possible if I am financially stable and I hope that what I get from the sale of farm produce and that which I receive from GiveDirectly will propel me towards this objective. I also wish to have my own cow for rearing that will supply us with milk and I will sell some for an income"
