Jane
received a $533 second payment.
"Previously, I could not afford to buy a lot of things. I have ventured into large scale sugarcane farming which is so lucrative as we have milling company in our village. When I harvest the produce, I plan to use the money I get from the sale to start up my own business which will more generate income for my family's upkeep."

Esther
received a $369 second payment.
"I started building a house for my mother using my first transfers since the one she was living in was small and was in a bad state and the walls were threatening to fall anytime. When I received my recent transfers, I decided to spend part of it to buy some iron sheets for roofing. I also paid school fees for my sister who had been sent back home. I was not comfortable with the idea that I had some money yet she was staying at home due to lack of school fees. I saved the remaining amount so that I would use them collectively with my next transfer to expand my business. I believe that by doing so, I will be able to generate more income which I will in turn use to support my family's needs."

Edward
received a $369 second payment.
"My new goals in life that I didn't have before receiving the transfer is to start a boutique business. This is because youths of nowadays love lifestyle and fashion. I am planning to bring everything they need to be under the same roof. I know I cannot fail in this one because I know my target and the competition is minimal at all in my place of residence. This will boost my income and help me achieve my goals."
