Redemta
received a $464 third payment.
"I spent my third transfer on purchasing school bags for my children, bought a goat that I can resell anytime to take care of any emergency that may arise, bought more utensils in the house and fixed window panes on the steel windows. I also bought seats since I had the old ones and spent the larger percentage of the amount on paying school fees for my child who is in high school, to settle well and acquire education like other children."

Richard
received a $481 second payment.
"When I received my second transfer, I renovated my main house and fitted it with a steel door and 2 steel windows. This cost me almost half of the transfer then I paid school fees for my 2 children in a secondary school with the remaining half. I considered education of my children as key since education is light."
