Winnie
received a $21 eighteenth payment.
"My objective is to ensure the uninterrupted education of my children. I aim to provide financial assistance by covering their school fees throughout their secondary school education. The support we are currently receiving has been instrumental in preventing instances where my children were sent home due to unpaid fees. The situation before we began receiving these transfers was challenging, as my children would often miss more than a week of school due to financial constraints. I am pleased that, thanks to the ongoing financial support, my children are now experiencing a conducive and stable environment that enhances their ability to excel in their education."

Joshua
received a $279 third payment.
"In my perspective, the organization has truly excelled in providing generous, non-conditional transfers, allowing us recipients the flexibility to address our varied needs. I am sincerely grateful for the opportunities these transfers have presented, enabling me to achieve a significant milestone that once seemed impossible. Thanks to the transfers, I can proudly declare ownership of a better house constructed with iron-sheet, a contrast to the previous muddy dwelling I used to call home.
Furthermore, the joy of venturing into livestock rearing adds an element of hope and promise for a brighter future for myself and my two children. The tangible improvements in housing and the venture into livestock rearing are transformative outcomes that have been made possible through the thoughtful and impactful support of the organization. Thank you, GD."
