Winnie's family
access_time 6 years ago
Winnie received a $535 initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is the cow that I bought using the transfer. I had sold some of the cows I had to an extent of remaining with one to meet my family needs. I have always been worried about providing for my family since if I could encounter other financial challenges like paying school fee I was to sell the remaining cow hence I could be left with none. I currently see what I bought as an added asset and as a security for my family needs. I expect it to multiply hence adding more to my assets."
