Kiplangat
received a $549 initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that now I'm at peace with my family because we are living in a good house, eating well and having lighting at night. We no longer go to neighbors to charge our phones since the panel has solved all of that. The children can also study at night and do their homework with ease. I expect them to pass in their exams now that they are comfortably studying more."

Alice
received a $23 eleventh payment.
"I expect my life to change in the next six months because I am expecting a bumpy harvest this season. This time I was able to hire people to work in my farm, therefore, I managed to prepare a big area of land. I am will be in a position of selling some of this produce so as to meet my other needs and store some of them that will last us up to the next harvesting season. This will save me from buying food in bits since it is always expensive and inefficient."

Lucy
received a $23 twelfth payment.
"In the next six months I want to ensure that I pool resources together and be able to buy my own land. The piece of land that we are currently staying in is too small and hardly enough for us to do any kind of farming. The purchase of land will see us do some subsistence farming and ensure that we are food sufficient as a family."

Lavender
received a $46 fourth payment.
"In the next six months, I expect to have bought all the required items I need in college to ensure my smooth learning. I am also thinking of starting up a business which I can do part-time to earn me some income so that I can manage to get my basic needs while in college. This will save my mother the challenge of looking for money to send me as pocket money and spend it on her own needs."
