Edward
received a $200 initial payment.
"My goal now is to go back home and get myself some grounding. In my culture, when a male child gets to 18 years, then he needs to have some sort of grounding and standing back at home. He needs to establish himself back in his home. I already have a house in my home, I will now purchase a cow as a way to establish myself in my home."

Adija
received a $470 initial payment.
"I felt so happy that time because I used to over think how my children will go back to school since I did not have enough money to cater for their tuition. When I was diagnosed with illness, I sold almost everything in the household to seek medical attention and I did not have anything to sale in order to pay school fees. Immediately I saw a mobile money notification I realized that my children could now go back to school."

Jennifer
received a $470 initial payment.
"The money entered my phone at around 2:00 am in the morning and I was wondering who could have sent me a message. When I opened the message I saw ugx 1700000 and I felt so happy and said God bless the Muzungu meaning white man who endeavored to support me. I thanked God so much because this money came at the right moment my daughter was supposed to go back to school and it was exactly what the school needed for the second semester."
