Jane
received a $459 third payment.
"I have been making mats to enable me meet my family needs and I had to meet and pass the risks involved, more so when getting into the water to cut the reeds which has not been so easy specifically when the levels are so high and you to stand the risk of drowning. So, when I received my second transfer, I made a fishing boat. The remaining amount I added to my third transfer and bought an engine for driving the boat. I now have my own boat and no longer have to get into the water which was life threatening. I make daily profits."

Everlyne
received a $459 third payment.
"I spent my third transfer on purchasing a water pump given that we are farmers and every time we needed to irrigate our tomato farm, we had to borrow the water pump which, if we do not find, I carry the water on my head which was tiring and time-consuming. Our farm did so well and the profits enabled us build a three roomed, spacious house and move out from the squeezed two house we owned before."
