Guyathe
received a $24 eighteenth payment.
"In the upcoming year and beyond, my primary goal is to completely renovate the aging, corroded, and leaky iron sheet roof that currently shields my house. This objective hinges on my ability to access the savings I've been accumulating throughout the year from a savings group consisting of ten members. I am profoundly thankful for the financial assistance I received through this contribution, as it has enabled me to purchase food during this challenging period marked by rising food costs in both local stores and due to the poor yields from our farms."

Jumwa
received a $24 eighteenth payment.
"In the coming year, my primary goal is to acquire a new bed and mattress. This purchase will not only be a significant improvement but will also greatly enhance my overall comfort. Following this, I have plans to expand my livestock by adding a goat to the two I already own, which were acquired using transfer funds. The addition of this goat holds promise for the future, as their reproduction will allow me to sell offspring and utilize the proceeds to cover my children's school fees. I'm currently experiencing a great sense of contentment, as I have a home, a growing livestock portfolio, and my children are receiving education, all thanks to the financial support I've received."

Kadhengi
received a $24 eighteenth payment.
"I find great satisfaction in the financial support I receive through monthly transfers, which has significantly improved my ability to meet my family's essential needs, including purchasing food. In addition to securing nourishment for my family, I've been able to invest in eight goats using these funds. Since I began receiving this financial assistance, the goat population has grown to over twenty. My most significant achievement lies in consistently making prudent financial decisions each time I receive these transfers."

"In the upcoming year and beyond, my foremost goal is to oversee the successful restoration of my home, which is currently in a state of near-collapse.

William
received a $24 thirteenth payment.
"My biggest goal at the moment is to construct a better house for my family. Our current living condition is not good as we fear that the house may not be able to withstand extreme weather conditions such as heavy rains and may eventually collapse. To prevent this disaster and assure my family of their safety, it is paramount that we construct a new house. I have been purchasing the required materials in bits due to low income and increased cost of living, but I am happy with the progress I have made so far. I have now purchased most of the materials and hope that I will complete this project before the end of the year. Once this is complete, I will set a new goal long term goal, which is most likely to construct a separate house for my teenage children."
