Samwel
received a $236 initial payment.
"Since we received GD transfer my family has had enough food on the table. I have also bought building materials, I want to put up a house for my sons so they do not keeping going to sleep in my neighbours. Were it not of this money I was planning to go to big towns e.g Nairobi to look for a job. But now I can relax and farm since my family has been well taken care of. I am stress free and have space to breath."
