Christine
received a $462 third payment.
"I spent 7,000 on Secondary school fee balance to keep our child in class since we have been paying a little at a time due to our low earnings which resulted in unpaid fee balances. I also had a pit dug for 5,000 KES in readiness for constructing a pit latrine that we need badly. I then bought 2 goats for 5,000 KES since goats are a fairly good source of wealth as they multiply fast. My husband paid my parents bride price for 30,000 KES as required by traditions since he always wanted to do it but we had no money until GD supported us."

Nerea
received a $465 third payment.
"I used my last transfer in farming rice which entails leasing land, buying fertilizer, hiring workers for the farm and other farming materials. I thought of farming rice because of the high demand in our region and nearby regions this would in turn give me profit and will be one of the source of income for my family. The rest of the money I used to buy food for the house."
