Kadzo's family

Kadzo received a $440 second payment.
"When I received the second transfer, I first opted to start a business that would serve as an income-generating source for my family. I did this because I was solely relying on making and selling charcoal. Not only is it a tiring activity but the trees for making the charcoals are nowhere to be seen nowadays. In that regard, I used $220 as capital for the shop business. To ensure that I do not run at a loss, I am selling fast-moving commodities such as foodstuff and personal effects. I am happy that I now have an income-generating activity that uses less strength compared to making charcoals. Thereafter, I used the remaining amount to renovate my two-roomed mud-walled house. Since it was made of mud, it was not firm enough to withstand strong winds hence I saw it prudent to construct some pillars on the corners to make it firmer. The renovation materials like cement, ballast, and building sand plus the labor charge of the builder amounted to $300." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)
