Beryl
received a $23 twelfth payment.
"In the next six months, I want to buy fertilizer and hybrid seeds to use on my farm. My dream is to have a large harvest which I may be able to sell the surplus in bigger markets where the prices are fair. I would want to use the money to boost my business to enable me to get an income to sustain my family needs."

Meshack
received a $23 twelfth payment.
"In the next six months, I would want to buy household items such as a bed, seat and utensils. This is because I do not have any in my house and I sleep on a mat, sit on a jerrican and use very old utensils which I took from my parents' house. I would want to improve my status with the transfers."

Joel
received a $530 second payment.
"My life would have not changed were it not for this cash because for one I have my own motorcycle which means that I do not have to work for someone. I have also built a new house which I never had before, so for me that is a plus."

Margaret
received a $530 second payment.
"The biggest difference for me I would say is that I leased a piece of land where I will now be planting cash crops every season going into the future. At least I will have a land to cultivate and get some food which I will sell out in the future once they mature which means I will have more money in the future to take care of other needs."
