Pulisikira
received a $469 initial payment.
"Previously, I borrowed people oxen for farming that could be given to me at a latter time which resulted to low yields because the oxen owners preferred their farms first. I am now having my own ox that I believe will increase my yields because I am going to plough my farm and plant crops in time."

Hellen
received a $469 initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, the bodaboda business we began with our motorcycle supports the well being of the family for example when there's anything we lack the business provides. Secondly, this money helped me acquire a new mattress and I gave my children the old one enabling them enjoy their sleep without bedsoars. Lastly I live a more peaceful life now that I was able to pay all my debts setting me free from my creditors who had lost trust in me to the extent of naming me a bad debtor."
