Kasfar's family
access_time over 6 years ago
Kasfar received a $468 initial payment.
"I spent part of my first transfer on buying a cow. This will be like my investment in the future as just keeping money can get used up without any profit or gain. I also bought clothes for my family and myself since we hardly had any decent clothes. I then paid school fees for my three children and got some school uniform for two children who did not have any. I also bought solar that is helping me in lighting the house and saving interms of buying parafin for lighting. I am still reserving some money to buy two goats one for which I will use to paying respect (reading duwa) to my departed child and the other as saving."
