James
received a $23 twelfth payment.
"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that, my house will be fully furnished when I buy seats and my children will be sleeping in a decent place since currently, they sleep down on a mat which is normally uncomfortable which makes them wake up tired rather than being active in the morning."

Magdaline
received a $23 twelfth payment.
"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have finished renovating my house. I started fixing a new roof because I have an old one which has holes hence part of my house still lets in drops of water whenever it rains because I have not completed fixing the roof. The shame of having visitors while in this situation is too much. Although I have not finished renovating it, I am seeing this being completed hence I won't be having sleepless nights because of this situation."
