Judith
received a $481 second payment.
"I spent my second transfer on paying school fee for my son who join high school so that he is not sent home due to fee arrears. I also spent part of the transfer on starting a grocery business so as to get income to feed and provide for my family and the remaining cash I spent on cultivating potatoes not only for the domestic purpose but also for commercial purpose hence income to feed and provide for my family.

Rosemary
received a $96 initial payment.
"The moment when I received my money, I was elated beyond words since I could come up again. It so happens that my stock of rice had just run out completely and somehow I did not have any working capital at the time because I support a large family, so here I could buy more stock and continue with my rice-selling business.
