Chelangat
received a $22 initial payment.
"I expect my life to be better than I have now. In six months, we will be having food from our farm, so lack of food will be minimal. I also expect my children to continue learning without the interruptions of being sent home for lack of fee. If they get a good education they will have a brighter future. That will be my happiness as a parent."

Grace
received a $22 initial payment.
"I expect my life to be better in the next six months. I would like to have my own cow because we do not have any of our own. We borrow from our neighbors and take care of their livestock and there's nothing as satisfying as having things of your own. Once we have our own I will be more content. I am hopeful for a better life though."
