Takuwa

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that I now have a responsible house where I stay with my children and people no longer laugh at me. Even my husband who deserted me with the children is now admiring me."

Carren
received a $97 initial payment.
"The moment when I received my money, I initially felt as if I was dreaming because in reality, 10,000 KES is too much money that one can get for free only once in a lifetime. I recovered anyway and went immediately to withdraw and pay school fee balance for my child."

Jackline
received a $97 initial payment.
"I had just woken up in the morning, so tired and feeling some lung infection I had acquired the previous day while cleaning my dusty house. In the process of switching on the phone as I normally did in the morning, I received a notification of the transfer receipt. I felt tears of joy rolling down my cheeks as I went ahead to confirm my mpesa balance to be cock sure that the money was in deed sent. Honestly, it was a memorable moment I ever experienced in life."
