Josephy
received a $481 second payment.
"GD has really changed my life for the better already as it is. It would be a mistake on my part to let this momentum die out so I wish to build on this by firstly finding a wife to help manage my affairs at home. I feel like now I will be able to support a HH because at first I had no backbone to rely on financially when it came to supporting a HH, hence I couldn't get married."

Dyna
received a $481 second payment.
"I have always wanted to live in a iron sheet roofed house with cement for the floor in all the 4 rooms. Having received this money I am confident next year I will accomplish that dream and accomplish even so much more in life since I will have a comfortable place to call home."

"We hope to have a decent house that's good looking so that our wishes and heart desires are fulfilled. Additionally, we'd like to purchase 3 goats to breed and multiply and maybe be selling them in future as the program is phasing out."

Kanze
received a $432 initial payment.
"We had a lot to do after receiving the first transfer, but first we needed to get construction materials to build a new house for my family of seven. We are living in a small, old hut with a reed roof that is constantly falling off, especially during this dry and windy season. As a result, I spent $216 on 24 iron sheets and $40 on building poles, which I believe will be sufficient to erect a strong and larger house. I also paid my son's form two school fees, which were $170 to allow him to sit for the semester's exams. I am glad he has been studying peacefully since then and that he has not been asked to collect more from home because I paid for the entire term. In addition, I spent $30 on new clothes for my children and saved the rest to pay the labor charges during construction."
