Eunice
received a $464 third payment.
"I used the whole of my third transfer on buying building materials which I used in building my home. Traditionally everyone is suppose to move from their parents home to build their homes but I haven't been able to do so because of financial challenges so I took advantage of the money and built my home. I'm now happy I'm independent having my home."

Jackline
received a $464 third payment.
"I have been bed ridden for quite some times which subjected me to a lot of financial challenges because I'm the eldest in our family at the same time I have children in school. It reached a point I couldn't afford my medication so when I received my third transfer I spent part of it on my medication. I used a larger portion on farming for consumption which is a way of food security and saved part of the money for emergencies."
