Lucy
received a $23 eleventh payment.
"In the next four months, I want to save and buy a cow. With this cow, I would be able to get milk when it reproduces and sell some milk to raise a little income to sustain my family needs. Whenever I have a difficult situation, I can sell its offspring to raise money to handle such matters in the family."

Peter
received a $23 eleventh payment.
"I have a plan of joining one of the table banking groups that I normally see within the locality very soon. I like the idea of table banking because it forces one to be disciplined in terms of making savings. Right now I do not have a precise project that I expect to carry out with the cash that I will be saving but once I get there, I will come up with a viable project to launch and definitely I will reap maximum benefits from the project because I believe in my personal ability.

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that, I will have bought cushions to place on my seats. I have always wanted to replace the old cushions but there are more pressing needs that have to be attended to such as food and paying schools fees. The old ones are usually uncomfortable and not so good looking but I am happy because I will replace them soon."

Glorine
received a $50 fourth payment.
"I realized in the morning that I had received the transfers. I was going through my message folder when I saw a message that I had received the transfer. I realized that the message came in late at night that is why I had not seen it. The mood in the house went frenzy in excitement as I shared the good news with my family. The state of hopelessness that I was in ended at that point in time and joy replaced it."
