"I spent my first transfer on digging a well to help in water supply during cultivation period. More to this I purchased a water pump to be used in pumping the water from the well to farm that is a bit far. Through these,I see my crops doing so well and promising a lot of returns at the end."

Benard
received a $487 second payment.
"I spent my first transfer to construct a new and bigger house for my family. The previous house was a small one-roomed house. I also dug a water well to help the family get regular water to use at home and then bought a water tank to store the water. The remaining amount was used to some plastic chairs and food in the house."

Rael
received a $487 second payment.
"I spent my transfer on piping water to my compound and now I do not have to walk long distances to look for water. I then built a kitchen because I had been cooking outside and it was quite unhygienic and cumbersome. I then bought 2 sheep and eight chicken which I am planning to rear for my own use. I also invested on farming where grow corn which I will be selling ones we start harvesting."
