Rosanael
received a $484 second payment.
"When I received my second transfer, I spent 30000 KES on a cow and the rest on food. I prioritized a cow since this is my asset and future investment. I believe it will give birth to calves and with time, I will have more of them. I also like milk and therefore I hope to benefit from Milk too."

Evaline
received a $485 second payment.
"When I received my second transfer, I constructed a semi-permanent house of 36 iron sheets worth 32000 KES and spent the rest on a cow. I decided to constructed the house since my former one was too tiny to accommodate us for instance we never had privacy between us (parents) and our children but we now have and again, a cow was important too since it has become one of my major asset."
