Bendera
received a $490 second payment.
"My life different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that I was able to start goats rearing activity which is my longterm investment for the family. Back in the days, I was depending on charcoal vending a job that is tiresome and low-paying. Furthermore, I was able to clear the fees arrears for my children and acquire enough food. Lastly, I was able to complete the construction of my house by purchasing the roofing materials and paying labour charges for the putting up of a roof of the house which I had fail to complete due to lack of adequate finances."

Martha
received a $372 second payment.
"I never used to have a nice house. It was a mud hut with a grass roof. Since receiving this transfer, it has taught me discipline. To use the money the right way. I have managed to start building a house. My plan is to build and finish it by next month. What is remaining now is the roof. I am very happy. I can now say I live in a good house."

Patuma
received a $372 second payment.
"Life would have been very different had I not received the transfers. I would not have managed to find money to build a new house for myself and support my family in a way I have done since I received the transfers. Before receiving the transfers, I relied on farming to support my family. When I have harvested crops, I could sell some of the crops to be supporting my family but the money was not even enough to save so that I should build a house. With the transfers I received, I now have an iron sheets roofed house which means my family has a decent place to sleep in. I also managed to buy mattresses for the family. All in all the money has changed my life as I now manage to buy everything needed for my family in good time."
