Alex
received a $253 second payment.
"My long term goal involves getting a piece of land where I will be keeping both broilers and layers chicken for commercial purposes so that I can be able to get more financial profits in the future. When I have layers birds that laying eggs, I will be in a position to sell the eggs and make some little profits from such a venture. On the other hand, I will also make some cash from the sale of broilers which I know have a ready market"

"Just like I mentioned before, I have been engaging in some small scale farming but my main desire is to get into the world of business where I intend to start a shop and earn some little cash from it, so that we will have the surety of getting some cash to buy food on a day to day basis."

Stella
received a $447 second payment.
"My life is different now than before in that I own personal land that was impossible to attain since my husband and I could not even imagine to ever have it through the farming that we do. Since my husband is an orphan and has been staying with his grand parents till now, I feel confident that this plot of land will solve most of my problems such as a place to cultivate and a home of my own. Before, my husband and I could endure insults from my in laws as we had no where to go."

Paul
received a $546 initial payment.
"Having started a business which has led to the construction of a new house in our family, I also set aside a piece of land from the plot which I was buying some months before receiving the transfers. I then decided to plant several tree species all on that small piece of land which are the potential sources of timber in the future. I managed to plant 2000 trees which are now in good shape and seems to be growing that fast despite the scorching sun which we have been experiencing since January. Seeing the green environment I have created around my homestead is indeed the biggest difference in my daily life."

enrolled.
"Having a business of my own has always been my desire. Currently, I am employed as a butcher at a local shopping center, and the business is not doing well at all. The owner is demotivated due to low sales arising from lack of a stable market here. In most cases, am being unable to provide basic needs for the family due to poor pay. Once I receive my transfers, I will venture into a more suitable place where I can set up a butchery. And with the skills that I gained while working here, am pretty sure that it's going to be a success. For the rest of the transfers, I will purchase oxen and an ox plow. This is because untimely planting has been our greatest undoing, and I want to change that by having the capacity to plough as much land as possible with my oxen."
