Deborah
enrolled.
"When I receive this money, I will buy some piece of land for agriculture. We don't have enough agricultural land and this has affected our harvests. I will also buy oxen and an ox-plough to help in ploughing the fields. We are just hiring ploughing services at a cost so if we get ours, it will be efficient and help cut cost that would be used in hiring the ox-plough."

"The biggest hardship that I face is pressure from my wife's parents over completion of bride price. I do not have a reliable source which gives me sleepless nights because they are near and they keep on asking for it every now and then."

Annah
received a $22 sixteenth payment.
"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have started my poultry keeping project. With this project, I am optimistic that my family will be getting their needs on time. This is because I will be selling some of the eggs and use the money to meet our needs. I thank Give Directly for giving me the capital to start this project. I do not think I would have thought of starting this project this soon."

Leonard
received a $22 sixteenth payment.
"I will have harvested my farm produce in the next six months hence my family will be having enough food to last us till the next harvesting season. Apart from this, I believe that my cabbage plantation will be doing well on the farm and I will just be waiting for the harvest time so that I can sell them. With all these investments, I am certain that my life and that of my family will no longer remain the same way it is now."
