Wilson
received a $23 second payment.
"My new goal that I have planned is to increase stock of Pyrethrum and Tea leaves. Before receiving the transfers, I had not thought of this because of little income which is just enough to support my family needs. Increase in stock will have an impact of increasing profits and bonus at the end of six months."

Florence
received a $473 third payment.
"I spent most of my third transfer on enrolling our son for an informal Motor Mechanic Course . He had dropped out of school during his 1st year in High School as he got discouraged since he used to spend most of his time away from the class as we could not always afford his School fee. We are very happy GD transfers enabled us to enrol him for Skills Training to prepare him fend for himself. We wanted to do this earlier but had no finances, until GD supported us."
