Wilfrida
received a $22 seventh payment.
"I expect to buy more sheep that will give me a chance to have a large flock of sheep and for me it is important to have the large number of livestock because when I sell them out I will be able to get more money and eventually buy a cow."

"Squeezing ourselves into an old, small, leaking, grass-thatched house has been our biggest worry in our family. We have spent years assembling resources with my husband so that we can relieve the the distress of the cold due to the leaking roof during the rainy season. It has also been very hard handling visitors whenever they visit since we have always been taking them for a sleep over in the neighbor's wider room."

Paul
enrolled.
"I have been struggling alot in paying School fees for my kids and students in the lower primary and secondary school respectively. The struggle to settle the school areas have led to selling almost all my livestock which at the moment I am only left with one heifer to rear. Receiving this money to me means rekindling the spirit of livestock farming since I will spare the only heifer and also add some cows in my fields. I also have a plan to purchase and start keeping poultry within the household which will check the availability of the household goods at every other time."
