Jacklyne
received a $463 third payment.
"I used a portion of my third transfer to pay laborers who built my house since I had bought building materials with the second transfer and also I was living in a very small house hence the need to build a bigger house, I bought ballast, sand and cement which am currently using to cement the house I have built. The remaining amount, I spent to buy sofa set because I did not have decent seats in my house and also bought a cow with the purpose of providing my family with milk"
