Leah
received a $471 third payment.
"I spent my third transfer on 2 heifers for 25,000 KES which we intend to multiply , build the stock and hopefully finance our children's education in future. I spent the balance on buying a piece of land that we are currently using for food production, but that we intend to put up our home on since our ancestral land is too small and insufficient."
