Philis
received a $463 initial payment.
"I spent my first transfer to buy a plot of land where there is no water at 1,500,000 ugx. This is because where I am currently staying is swampy and when it rains we are all drained in water. The place is water logged.
I then used the balance to buy house hold items like matress utensils among others."
