Mercy
received a $468 third payment.
"I used my third transfer to plaster the walls and floor of my main house. I had constructed a semi-permanent one of 27 iron sheets with the first and second transfer, but it had not been plastered since I ran out of the money when the construction was underway. It is the reason why I committed the last transfer on it to ensure that move to an environment worth living. The house where I lived initially was not conducive for us due to its poor ventilation and its small size."

Jane
received a $468 third payment.
"When I received my third transfer, I spent on a sofa set and clothes for my household members. Initially, we never had decent clothes, most of the time we walked in tattered ones. A chair to sit was another problem-we could sit on the floor till we got the third transfer that has enabled us to acquire most of these things that we lacked!"
