Silpa
received a $468 third payment.
"I spent my third transfer on investing on livestock rearing. I opted for this project because it was the best way so far I could use to invest my money. To add on that, the livestock purchased could easily be sold during an emergency that required cash. The livestock could also be used in educating my children who promised to bring great changes in the family's lifestyle should they acquire appropriate education. "
