Ericka
received a $477 third payment.
"I spent part of my third transfer on purchasing ironsheets with an intention of building a nice house very soon since the current one is just a small room. I also paid school fees for for my brother in high school and used the larger percentage of the amount on paying fees for my child who used to be sponsored but the sponsership had ended hence had to do it on my own."

"My piece of land has been infertile hence most of the time I had to purchase food which is expensive, so when I received my third transfer I used the larger portion of the money on farming. I planted maize and sugarcane and the maize that I planted is the food that we are enjoying nowardays. I also bought decent clothes for my children and paid fees for my nephew who was in high school by then."
