"I received the transfers late in the night so I did not see it immediately I only woke up to the good news. I was super excited that morning since it felt like a dream come true. I was happy that I went on my knees to thank God for the miracle."

Linner
received a $23 twelfth payment.
"I expect my life to change significantly in the next six months because I shall be having my own cow. Currently, we do not have a cow as a family. In our community, owning a cow is a no mean achievement. Thus, I endeavor to buy one. Besides, I will be leasing more land to expand my farming practices. As a result, I will attain more crops for sale and consumption. Eventually, I will open a shop before the end of this year to attract more income. Consequently, I will be enjoying a better life that is marked with increased income."

"I have been in the business of brick making for the last couple of years and I am now thinking of boosting this business so that I can earn more profits than I do currently.
