Charo
received a $24 fourteenth payment.
"The impact of education on my young children is of utmost importance to me. My primary objective is to provide them with the finest educational environment possible. To achieve this, I am committed to covering their school fees and acquiring all the necessary stationery they require. To support this endeavor, I plan to invest in livestock. As the herd grows and I begin selling them at a profit, it will generate additional income. This extra income will serve as a means to secure future school fees for my children, even beyond the period of financial stipends. By ensuring this stable income source, I can guarantee a bright educational future for my children."

Angeline
received a $316 third payment.
"In the coming years and beyond, my intention is to venture into dairy goat farming for both commercial and domestic reasons. To initiate this project, I aim to set aside a portion of the income I receive from my tomato investment. I am aware that this undertaking will require significant resources, particularly because our area is semi-arid. Consequently, I will need to purchase feed for the goats. Nevertheless, I am confident that this venture will yield favorable returns."
