Bern
received a $540 initial payment.
"I spent part of my first transfer on purchasing a welding machine. I am glad that I started my own business, I no longer depend on casual jobs or employment where I was as a security guard. I also bought a television for entertainment and two bags of maize for the family's consumption. Part of the amount went on purchasing a bicycle since I was using my brother's and finally kept the remaining amount as savings for my daily upkeep."
