Stephen
received a $449 second payment.
"My life has improved in that, I feed, sleep and treat myself in a far better manner. This is because I didn't have a source of income that could enable to meet all these basic needs. In addition, I bought an ox that together with the one I already had will help me plough my farm land in time. In the past, I used to hire people's oxen that would be given to me towards the end of the planting season hence this led to poor harvest."

Christine
received a $449 second payment.
"My life is different than it would have been because I have an iron sheet roofed house that will house me, resting from the burdens that come with sleeping under a grass thatched house especially during a rainy season. This money has also enabled my children to attend school. Before, my children would spend most the time at home during school days because we didn't have money."
