Kondo
received a $23 fourteenth payment.
"Right now, my priority is supporting my children's education. When they get sent home from school, nowadays I am confident enough to persuade the teachers to let them stay with a promise to pay when I receive the cash transfers. I am happy that the cash transfers have been crucial in keeping them in school. I know that my job as a herdsman would never be enough to cover the school fees for all five of them, let alone provide daily meals. So, making sure they stay in school is my main focus because I don't want to see them stay at home with me due to a lack of tuition money. I hope the cash transfers continue supporting me in this."

Alice
received a $121 initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have managed to accomplish my goals in a relatively brief time frame.
