James
received a $453 second payment.
"My life is great because my wife who is diabetic accessed adequate treatment. In the past, I could cultivate and sale off most of the Agricultural produce to treat her. However, we experienced food shortage. In addition, I have acquired Agricultural inputs like oxen and land to enable me cultivate in time. Before, I could not farm in time because I had to wait for the owner of the oxen to finish."

Jesca
received a $453 second payment.
"Building my permanent house that is cost effective when it comes to maintaining as its done once, has made my life different in that I am relieved when it comes to buying grass to keep renovating my former grass thatched house which was expensive to maintain. In the past, I had to look for grass to renovate my house almost every year in a far village as there was no near by place that I could get it."

Joseph
received a $453 second payment.
"My life has got better because I have got a motorbike which generates income that supports my family in buying food, paying medical bills, my daughter's school fees and any need that arises. The acre of land that I got will increase my crop production. Before, I didn't have a stable source of income. I use do actual labour in people's gardens that fetched very little income about UGX 2,000 a day. I had only one acre of land that couldn't produce enough food crops for the demand of the family."

Anna
received a $453 second payment.
"My life has changed in that, I'm now constructing a permanent house. Currently, I stay in an old thatched house which is a haven for rats that have always destroyed our clothes and eaten our feet. In addition, these rats harbour lice that feast on our blood and deny us peaceful sleep. Previously, I didn't have the money to commence with the construction of the permanent house."
