Christine
received a $483 third payment.
"I spent my third transfer on completing the last installment for a piece of land for 27,000 KES and constructed a 4 roomed house for 23,000 KES. GD Grant came to us as a miracle since my family was under pressure to move out of the ancestral land and give way to equal division, yet my husband and I never had money to buy land and we used to be embarrassed by other family members all the time since we were delaying the process.They became hostile to us. Thank you very much for bailing us out."

Winnie
received a $462 third payment.
"I had a very squeezed house that could not accommodate my growing family so when I received my third transfer, I built a new house. It is three rooms and its spacious enough. The remaining I spent buying bedding. I can now sleep in a very comfortable place. I do not get embarrassed showing someone my bedroom as my bedding are attractive."

Rose
received a $462 third payment.
"When I recieved my third transfer, I constructed a semi-permanent house of 42 iron sheets that can now accommodate the whole of my large family. I had been longing for a better house since my former one was too tiny to accommodate us all. In fact, we felt unhappy and uncomfortable living in the former house and this explains why I started buying building materials slowly by slowly since my first transfer."
