Joseph
received a $23 fifteenth payment.
"I have purchased two goats within the last two months and I still expect to buy more in the near future. I want to make sure that I have a large flock of animals so that when I sell them off at some point in the near future, then I can be able to buy a cow which will definitely come with a lot of benefits such as milk provision."

Stantley
received a $23 fifteenth payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is the livestock that I bought when I recived my savings in a merry go round group. I bought a lactating cow and its calve. The family is now enjoying milk during all the meals and I sell the surplus. The money I get from milk has to become a steady source of income. Unlike, before, I earn some money daily regardless of whether I get carpentry work or not."

Esther
received a $442 second payment.
"My life is different in that, I have got back my two acres of land that were taken by the money lenders. I am expecting increased yields from these two additional acres of land this season. Furthermore, I have owned cows that will help me with my children's education. Previously we did have enough money to settle the debts and buy cows since there was no stable source of income."

Faith
received a $23 fifteenth payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I plan to save my next monthly transfers in order to purchase a dairy cow. The dairy cow that I will purchase will really boost milk production both for my household consumption as well as for sale. The money I would have spent on buying milk, as well as the one I will generate from selling from my own production, will help me improve my family living standards"

Loy
enrolled.
"Receiving this money means I will be able to build an iron roofed house.
The one that I am using currently leaks badly.
I just sleep in it because I have no option but to endure.
I also hope to buy a cow that can reproduce and provide for me milk.
With this, I will be able to take care of future eventualities.
