Winny
received a $435 second payment.
"Before I was enrolled in this program, I never had any cow in my homestead which according to my community, one is despised if you do not own any cow. I used part of the transfers of kshs 25,000 to buy a female cow for milk production. In the future when milk will be in excess I will be using it for consumption and sale to get money for other basic needs like food and shelter. I used kshs 5,000 to pay for the loans and debts. I am a parent of three children who are in Secondary School, I used kshs 20,000 to clear their school fees arrears that have accumulated for the past few years."

".
I do subsistence farming like maize and beans to earn a living. In the coming year and beyond, I am planning to buy a larger piece of land for farming so as to harvest as much as possible. I also raise livestock like sheep and chicken although in small number, I am hopeful to add more of them so that in the future I will be selling out some to be used for educating my children who are still in Primary School."
