Alice
received a $98 initial payment.
"When I received my first transfer I spent it wisely; I revived my fish business, which had collapsed due to lack of adequate income. The business has picked so well and we are happy. Besides, we never had adequate clothes for my household members and therefore the rest of the transfers went to buying clothing and this has been keeping us warm."
