Joan's family
access_time almost 4 years ago
Joan received a $494 second payment.
"I used 30, 000 shillings of my second transfer on buying a dairy cow since it had become costly for us to purchase milk daily. We usually consume milk each day either on its raw status or by preparing tea. As a relatively large family, we used to spend almost a dollar daily on milk. Besides, I utilized 15, 000 shillings on paying school fees and clearing arrears for my three children who are at secondary schools to have ample study time. They used to miss classes when sent home to collect pending fees. I spent the remainder on buying more food for my family since we had no stock in our store."
