Rosemary
received a $530 second payment.
"My life is different in that I established a home and no longer pay rent as before. The struggle of paying rent is a thing of the past. My status has changed from homelessness to a descent house in my own compound. This has increased the human dignity in me and self-esteem which makes me feel respected. The lost glory has been restored as I can plan for my daily activities without fear of eviction due to fail in paying rent on time. "

Emily
received a $367 second payment.
"My life is currently different in that I now have a stable income from the shop business that I recently started. As soon as the building was complete, I stocked the shop and had someone work in it. It has already picked up and is doing so well. I am very certain that once all the finishing on the building is complete, all the proceeds from the business will be a very descent income for me."

Eunice
received a $23 twelfth payment.
"In the next six months, I would want to buy cement and sand which I will use in plastering my house. The house I built is mud-walled and during the rainy season, the muds on the wall fall off and I end up smearing every month which is tiresome and time-consuming. I would handle the house issue once and for all by plastering it."

Florence
received a $23 twelfth payment.
"In the next six months, I want to buy a water tank. This will help me save water during the rainy seasons. This is because in our area in the dry seasons we suffer a lot to get water and I would not want to go through the same struggle anymore. I want to take this opportunity and help myself."
