Grace
received a $467 third payment.
"I spent most of my third transfer to pay school fee for my two children who were preparing to sit for their final exams. I must attest that the last transfer came at the right time when these children needed a lot of money in order to continue staying in school and prepare adequately for their exams. Were it not for the transfer, my children would have not sat for the exams but rather dropped out of school. In addition, I purchased them basic needs that they required in school since they were boarders."

Silas
received a $467 third payment.
"I spent half of my third transfer on paying school fee for my brother in form one. Since the death of my parents, the brother had always been under my care. I was the provider of all his needs, be it school fee, clothing, food and many more. I was therefore so glad that the last transfer relieved me from the burden of this year's school fee. The remaining half of the transfer I spent on food. I purchased enough stock to take us through the famine period that the region experienced. I am again so happy that our living standards were improved."

Peterson
received a $467 third payment.
"I spent the whole my third transfer on construction of a house in order to vacate the rental house that I was living in for the last 7 years. I longed for a house for so long but could not acquire any. I was extremely poor, something that led to my separation with my spouse who ended up leaving for another marriage with our three children. I am so happy that I no longer suffer from poverty and I have been assured of marrying again. I am so pleased with the organization."
