Beatrice
received a $233 third payment.
"I spent most part of the third transfer on buying a cow for milking,It was sad that when I went to buy milk, sometimes they could accept selling you their milk. So I thought of getting my own cow for milk production purposes. The remaining amount I spent on paying school fees for my children in primary school and a sack of corn for my family consumes."

received a $464 third payment.
"The place I come from is very steep and hilly so when building a house one has to dig deep and make a flat area to build and all this digging is not cheap. My house before was almost falling because of this reason so when I received my last transfer I used it to build a house the right way."

"I spent my third transfer on the acquisition of cattle. Some of the cattle was used for dowry by my husband. I used to stressed up because of the dowry issue. I never knew when exactly my husband would be able to go pay my dowry. I am now able to get milk from the remaining cattle in my homestead. The milk I sell in order to get income."

"I spent my third transfer on bringing electricity to my homestead. I used to spend a lot of money on paraffin yet my level of income is low. Immediately I got the transfer I decided to bring electricity to my home. Now my children are able to do their homework without any worries and also the money I used to buy paraffin with I am able to save and channel to other important needs."

Alice
received a $485 third payment.
"I spent my third transfer on the acquisition of fertilizer. I used the fertilizer on my rice farm. I decided to use fertilizer on my farm so as to increase my farm yield. Formerly I used to plough my farm without fertilizer and the yields were really of small quantity. I am a happy farmer now that I am able to get increased yields and I can sell the extra bags. This in turn has increased income in my house."
