William's family

William received a $442 second payment.
"My life is now different in that, I constructed a permanent house. Although the house is not yet complete, I'm optimistic of surviving the terror of the rains. The thatched house I currently stay in leaks too much to the extent that whenever it rains I have to fold my mattress untill it stops raining. In other wards, I spend sleepless nights most of the time during rainy season which isn't nice at all."

Betty's family

Betty received a $442 second payment.
"My life is now improved because I constructed an iron roofed house which I never envisioned building by myself. This is because of the severe poverty I lived in. Previosuly, it was very expensive for me to renovate the thatched house I currently sleep in. But with this iron roofed house, I will no longer face such a problem hence making my life much easier."
Sarah's family

Sarah received a $442 second payment.
"Currently, my life has changed because I am happy having money at hand that enables me to spend as I please. For example, my children go to school early enough without worrying about where to get money for fees or their scholastic materials, I feed my family on a balanced diet and on timely basis. Prior to getting this transfer, I had to do casual labour to raise money and my children could stay home even for a whole term, my family and I would either have one meal a day or go without food because the one we cultivated was not enough to sustain my family subsistencely and commercially.
