Everline
received a $481 second payment.
"I spent my second transfer on purchasing a second-hand motorcycle that I gave out to my spouse to use for commercial purposes. I am glad the the project has really changed our lives since at the end of everyday we've always saved 300 KES, not as before when we had nothing at all to save. Whatever my spouse got from his fishing activities was not even enough to cater for the family's daily needs."

Carren
received a $481 second payment.
"I spent my second transfer on extending my house which was previously very small to accommodate my family. I am now happy that I live in a very spacious house. Secondly, I purchased fishing nets that I gave out to someone in the lake to use and bring me fish in return at the end of every day. This enabled me begin a very strong fish business that brings me an income of not less than 500 KES everyday. I am so glad that I no longer suffer as was the case before."
