Rose
received a $473 third payment.
"I spent part of my third transfer to re-stock my retail shop with 20,000 KES . I started the business with 15,000 KES from my second transfer, and from it I have saved so far 10,000 KES towards our daughter's second term Secondary school fee, and I still have time to save more before the month of May . I have also bought 10 birds from my Retail shop profits, and as we talk I have a total of 27 four week old chicks,will be selling chicken soon. Before GD financial support, I was at Zero and worth nothing, I was a full time house wife and depended fully on my husband's little and unpredictable income . I thank GD that these days I am a Partner with my husband since I am a contributor to the household budget."

received a $4 initial payment.
"My new goal after receiving the transfers is to lease a piece of land to plant sorghum. The current size of land that I have is very small hence limits me in farming. The income that I will get from the sorghum after harvesting will really be helpful to me and my family"
