Jumwa
received a $493 initial payment.
"Having the pair of oxen that I recently bought makes the biggest difference in my daily life. This is because the pair will be of great help to me and my family in numerous ways. One in my agricultural activities, previously I used to plough my land using my own hands which were so tiring and time-consuming. At times I would hire someone to conduct the exercise for me which was very expensive and most of the time I could not afford it. I feel it is now a huge relief because I will be able to prepare the farm in good time and also the pair can take fewer days in ploughing my farm. This is a guarantee that I will be getting plenty of harvests. Also, the pair will also help me in carrying water from the dams which are very far from the village."
