Stephen
received a $467 initial payment.
"My life is better because this transfer has enabled me to hire casual labourers to work on my farm. This season I hope to get good yields since I have farmed on a large scale. Previously, I farmed on a small scale and I would over work myself since I couldn't hire casual labourers for lack of money. "

John
enrolled.
"I don't haven oxen and an ox-plough and other agricultural equipments like pest spray pump, hoes and gears. So when I get this money, I will buy those equipment to improve my agricultural practices because agriculture is the main source of our survival. This will see my yields go high hence increasing our household income after selling the outputs."
