Thomas received a $27 twenty-second payment.
"This year, my main objective is to focus on investing in livestock, particularly goats. Goats are low-maintenance and can easily be sold to finance various expenses like school fees, food, and other daily necessities. Moreover, I plan to use them as a financial cushion for unexpected emergencies. I aim to use funds from my upcoming transfers to purchase these goats, providing my family with additional income to address any future needs. Being a part of this organization has significantly improved my life, and I feel immensely grateful for the support it provides."

"I hope to start a shop in the coming days so that I will be in a position to fully provide and support my family through the income that I will be making from the sale of the goods. The urge to start the shop came as a result of identification of the market gap where I realized people in our village could travel quite a long distance to get a shop that may also not have what they wanted therefore I bank on the coming monthly transfer and savings from my job to start a big shop that will be able to provide most items that the people need."

Jumwa received a $27 eighteenth payment.
"My main objective for the coming year and beyond is to continue saving a portion of my monthly transfers so that I can purchase more livestock, particularly goats and chickens. Despite my advanced age, I find these animals easy to care for and maintain, and they serve as a reliable source of income when I am facing financial difficulties. At present, I own three goats and several chickens, and my goal is to breed them and increase their numbers. I can easily sell them to meet my financial needs since I do not have a steady source of income to rely on."
