Joyce
received a $44 ninth payment.
"I do not expect much change in the next six months because I still have school fees to pay. I have several school children and it would be difficult to start a new project at the moment. Although I am planning to save the little money I get from casual jobs and start an income-generating activity later."

Joseph
received a $530 initial payment.
"The moment I received the money I felt so happy. I remember it was very early in the morning when I heard a message from my phone. When I checked it I could not believe my eyes because I have never received such amount of money before. I waited until the time we were taking breakfast when I informed my family members and they were all happy. I knew I would be able to pay school fees for my children on time and they will not be sent home from school."
