Dennis
received a $23 twelfth payment.
"I will have been leaving in a new house. we leave in the old house that my family moved from. It is derelict. It is also small and sharing it with my young brothers who are still in school is not enjoyable. In the next six months, I will be in my own house that will be bigger and nicer. I will also be making money from tea seedlings that I have in a tea nursery."

Victor
received a $23 twelfth payment.
"I will be having a piece of land. It is my desire to buy some small piece of land on which I will build rental houses in the future. I will sell my heads of cattle and buy land. This is possible because of the money I receive monthly and has been investing in farming. When I succeed, I will be a landowner of a parcel that can be developed into a rental property and be financially stable the rest of my life."

Emma
received a $200 initial payment.
"The fact that I was able to pay fees arrears for my daughter who had been sent home, really brought a lot of peace in me. This was my biggest worry because I did not know where I would get the money to settle the balance. As a parent, I am obligated to ensure I give my children education and at this point, I was failing. When I received the money and paid, I felt like a burden had been taken away from me."

Esther
received a $200 initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my life is my business. I used part of the transfer to boost my cloth business by adding more stock because it was almost no more. I had used most of the resources from the business for my family needs and I was not re-investing anytime I had money. This really affected the sales and the capital. When I received the transfer, I remembered where the business started from and how it has helped me. I went and added more stock and am glad it's picking up well. I know when I get higher profits, I will be able to solve most of my family needs in time."
