Kavumbi
received a $549 initial payment.
"Receiving this transfer has brought great improvements in my life as I now own some assets that I never thought of owning in my life. It seemed impossible for me to have a pair of oxen that would facilitate my farming and in ensuring that I do my cultivation and planting timely and early for abundant harvests. I am now glad that I won it and I am assured of increased yields as from this year which will be enough for my family throughout the year. To me, this is the biggest difference in my daily life."
