Everline
received a $481 third payment.
"I spent my last transfer to purchase a cow. This costed me 35,000 KES. I did this because I also wanted to be counted among the members in the village who could milk their cows in the morning. As it is my dream has been full filled thanks to the transfers I received from GD. I am so happy. To add on my husband nowadays can a cup of milk tea before going to bed and my children as well take tea every morning before going to school."

Emily
received a $478 third payment.
"I spent my last transfer to purchase a piece of land. We currently live in my father's in law land hence we felt it wise to purchase a piece of land where we can as well own our own home. This has brought much joy in our hearts as a family because the dream is finally materializing. We have not yet moved to the new home but we are in the process of doing so thanks to GD."

"Initially I had a kiosk that was in complete. I had started building it but I did not finish hence I embarked on the constructions. I spent 24,000 to purchase building materials from the hardware. I bought cement, binding wire, iron sheet, a steel door and windows. I spent another 18,400 KES on labor. The remaining amount I spent on house expenses. This transfer was of great help to me and my entire family."

Kisito
received a $481 third payment.
"I used the third transfer to buy a cow because almost everyone in the village owned a cow, so I also longed to own one but I couldn't afford. I'm now I happy I own one and I believe in the future after it has grown I'll use to plow my farm."
