Naomi's family

Naomi received a $24 ninth payment.
"My father is our family’s main provider, engaged in trading livestock during market days. However, the income he generates from this endeavor falls short of covering the financial demands of our family, particularly the tuition fees for my six siblings and me. Given these circumstances, I am determined to establish a foundation of wealth that can assist both my family and me, especially during times of financial hardship. My goal is to initiate a livestock-rearing venture, starting with chickens. By allowing them to breed, I aim to eventually sell them to acquire goats and cows, steadily expanding my wealth. Looking ahead, I envision using these livestock sales to fund the start of a vegetable-selling business. I believe this business could also significantly contribute to meeting the various needs of my family."
Salinah's family

Salinah received a $313 second payment.
"Being a single mother raising three children has been a challenging journey for me, especially since my spouse passed away when the kids were very young. To make ends meet, I had to sell all the goats he had left behind, using the funds for various needs such as their education expenses, as my earnings from casual work were insufficient to cover everything. Upon receiving the transfer, I saw an opportunity to revive a long-forgotten project by investing in livestock. I purchased a cow and two goats, spending $70 and $100 respectively. Livestock rearing is a promising endeavor in our area, and I believe it will provide a reliable source of income through future sales. Additionally, the cow will supply milk for my family's consumption. Furthermore, I used a portion of the funds, $40, to settle my son's secondary school fee, as he was sent home due to non-payment, which had been affecting his studies. This ensures he can now focus on his education without interruption. For my family's sustenance, I allocated $950 to purchase food. I also addressed the need for suitable seating for visitors by purchasing four plastic chairs for $450. This improvement is vital, as our old chairs were in poor condition."
