"When I receive this money, I will complete the construction of our house because it is apparently incomplete and its not very safe for us. We occupied this house early because we did not have money to rent. So the transfers will help us have decent accommodation. If there is any balance, I will buy household items like nice chairs, tables, bedding and electricals."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my is lack of money. This follows a long dry season that saw us not planting any crops that would be our source of income. Thats why we even had to stake some piece of land as collateral to borrow money."

"The biggest hardship I have faced is lack of sufficient funds to promptly pay for my grandchild's school fees. Him being a candidate, defaulting school fees affects his performance because he misses lessons when he is chased back home to collect school dues."

With this, I will be able to transport people to their different destinations since I will be doing it as a business.
This will enable me to make money like the rest of the motorcycle ridders that I see."

"My plan is to spend the transfers for build iron-roofed. My family has suffered for a very long period of time with grass thatched house which leaks a lot whenever it rains. It has also a small space for storage and sleeping but because of no any other source of income for money ,I can not afford to build a comfortable house for my family members. This is always forcing my household members to bear the unfavourable situation of a leaking house and they from suffering from pneumonia."

Amina
received a $526 second payment.
"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that I have been able to establish a permanent stall to run my business of selling seeds. Now, I am making enough profits without a strain since my customers are able to get me in one location unlike before when I would hawk in different markets which were strenuous and I didn't have ample time to interact with my family members. Therefore, I feel the most self-empowered person because my life is now better than before."
