"Having no one to support me in raising my children is tough since I lack a stable source of income for all their basic needs. At this point, supporting their education is the greatest opportunity  I can offer them to ensure they secure a brighter future. I plan to do this by continuing to save through the self-help group and rearing livestock to afford their school fees. "

Samuel received a $442 initial payment.
"We currently live in a small hut with my family of three and have been considering building a new one that would comfortably accommodate us while also creating an extra space in the current house to be used as a kitchen. I spent $250 on construction materials from the first transfer, which included 15 iron sheets, building poles, and nails, as well as the cost of transportation from the shopping center to my residence's door. I am relieved that I have secured a contractor's schedule to begin construction in the first week of February. I also used some of the remaining funds to purchase household goods, such as groceries for $60, clothing for $20, and a bed and mattress for $95. I also paid off a $50 debt. I am grateful for the situation that has changed so much in my family and given me hope of regaining dignity once I finish building a new, spacious house."
