"When I receive this money, I will pay for my children's school fees and build a better house for our family. The house we are currently living in is not in good shape so this will have simplified our shelter issues. If there is any balance left I will buy some cows for agriculture."

Esther
received a $462 initial payment.
"The biggest difference so far is that I am happy and healthy. I spent part of the cash transfer to treat myself from the adverse effects of food poison.
Previously, I was unhealthy and my condition was worrisome. The poison was slowly affecting my body. However, I am very glad that the cash transfer came as a blessing to me."
