Jumwa
enrolled.
"If there is one thing that makes me happy is seeing a lady with a job. Everytime I see female nurses it sparks the desire to see my girls in such positions one day. My ambition is to give them quality education and I will do the best to achieve my dreams. I will therefore use this transfer to purchase goats and a cow. This project will enable me to easily finance their education whenever I sell the produce. Besides I will replace my house's roof since it is leaking terribly."

received a $337 second payment.
"My life has completely transformed for the better. I never dreamt that I would one day live in an iron roofed house, or that I would own my own bicycle. GD has really pushed me far from limits and with the push I have gotten I believe that I am even on my way to getting myself a motorcycle. I consider these funds as capital and investment into my life"
