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."

Ted
received a $50 fourth payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is I relocated to a much safer and better place courtesy of the transfer. This has really given me happiness and comfort away from the fears that came along with the place where I had rented a house. First, the fires were very common and at some point, I lost all my stuff. There was also a high rate of insecurity and worst of all robbery with violence. I could not relocate from this place since I did not have the financial capacity to pay a higher amount of rent. The transfers have enabled me to live a more comfortable life and I am really grateful."
