Charles
received a $467 third payment.
"I spent part of my third transfer to tile my floor. It was a mud floor and most of the time it had potholes. My house is so neat now after the tilling. I also plastered my walls that were also made of mud and there were a lot of bedbugs as the mud was acting as their breeding places. This is no longer the case. My house is free from bedbugs currently."

Justus
received a $467 third payment.
"I am a university student undertaking a self sponsored program. I used to be stressed up on where I would get money to pay for the remaining years of my college education. Immediately I got the money I decided to pay a whole year worth of fees in my school. I am no longer stressed up about the fee issue. The remaining part of the money I used to buy cattle which will eventually give birth to little ones and then I will resell them so as to get a continued source if income."

Rosemary
received a $467 third payment.
"I spent most part of my third transfer on buying fencing materials that I have since used to fence my home. I decided to fence being that in my area there is a lot of theft on livestock so now I believe they are safe inside the fence. I also gated my compound. Some remaining amount I repaid a loan I had from my local group. The remaining I saved for my son who is sickle cell anemic and requires medical attention more frequently and needs money every time he visits the hospital. I am happy I have managed to do all those I have always wished for."

Judith
received a $467 third payment.
"I spent my entire third transfer on construction of a house in order to vacate my late co-wife's house which I inherited when I got married in the home. I must attest that without the transfer, I would not have afforded such a project on my own. In fact the demise of my spouse drove away all the hopes I had in acquiring my own house and had therefore to continue staying in the inherited one. That resulted me into a very dull life imagining how fellow women laughed at me for staying in a dead person's house. I pondered a lot over it but could do nothing since poverty had tied up my hands. Today, I live a very stress free life with the transformation that my transfers brought in me. I really thank GD for this and wishes it a prosperous long life."
