Caroline's family

Caroline received a $501 initial payment.
"I had been struggling buying milk when my only cow was not lactating. When I received my first transfers, I bought a cow at a cost of KES 27000 so that I would alternate serving them so that we would have milk throughout the year. I spent another KES 6200 on purchasing food items like sugar, rice and maize for consumption. I also saw that it was good to make our home comfortable and I bought some new furniture at a cost of KES 6000. Am happy that I got these furniture which would have taken me longer to acquire them. I invested KES 15000 on my saloon business which I had closed down when I directed the capital to other neccesities for the family."
