Nancy
received a $23 eleventh payment.
"I hope to start a business of my own in the near future with the hope of having my own source of income to sustain me especially after this project is over. I am quite used to having my own money now ever since I started receiving the monthly transfers. I do not wish to depend on my husband financially again hence the need to start my own business."

Rael
received a $50 fourth payment.
"The biggest difference in my life is that I used the transfers to expand my eatery business. I now earn double the profit I used to earn before receiving the transfer. It gives me joy to see it growing and it makes me aspire to get better and better. The proceeds have also helped me raise money to pay the hospital bill for my mother who is ailing. I am also able to pay bills and get extra to save."

Roselidah
received a $23 eleventh payment.
"I expect to make a few savings so that I can be able to buy modern seedlings and fertilizers that I will use during the oncoming planting season. Once that is done, I should be able to realize a
a bumper harvest at the end of the season so that my family can be food secure. Before I started receiving cash from the organization, I never used fertilizers because their prices are so high that I could barely afford to buy. Going forward, I am even thinking of getting additional acres of land from people who will be willing to lease them out so that I can be able to add more farm production at the end of every season."

Kevin
received a $23 twelfth payment.
"I will start my pig rearing project. I work in pork butchery and I have realized the value of pig. From there, I am sure I will raise income. People have opened up so many pork butcheries due to high demand but the supply is very low. This has made the pig to fetch a lot of money from the market."
