Richard
received a $254 initial payment.
"You can at times have goals but lack funds to execute them. I have been desiring to have a cow that will give us milk for sale as an investment. Our goal is to combine our household transfers from Give Directly to buy a good-breed cow that goes for 60000 KES. It will give us enough milk for sale and enable us to pay recurring expenditures such as school fee."
