David
received a $550 initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I paid my children's school fees. I am now at peace since my children are in school. All along I've always had my children in and out of school on a regular basis because of lack of school fees. I was always worried my children will fail so terribly in exams and I feared that I would be the blame."

Faith
enrolled.
"After I completed my form four studies in 2016,life became very difficult.This is because my dream of going on with my studies came to a halt due to lack of school fees.I had a mean grade of C minus and I wanted to pursue a course in Business Management.I am the last born in a family of eight and none of us studied past secondary school.I lost hope in going on with my studies and decided to get married after two years.I am now a mother of one and life here is still hard because we do not have a major source of income.I still believe that joining college would have been a solution for this and it is still in my long term plans."

Rosaline
received a $23 twelfth payment.
"I expect my life to change extremely in the next six months. This is because I will no longer be handling the casual work that I have been doing at my neighborhood. I will be spending most of my energy and time on my farm because I will have expanded my farming projects. Besides, I shall be enjoying a substantial income from the sale of the maize and beans that I am about to plant. Consequently, I will be more confident in supporting my children through secondary schools and colleges as they pursue their studies."

"I expect my life to change significantly in the next six months. This is because I will have completed the construction of the ten units of my rental houses.
