Samwel
received a $479 initial payment.
"The major challenge that I have been facing is having to raise money for my Son school fees, He is at the university and the tuition fees and accommodations are very expensive for me to afford since I depend on farming and casual jobs in earning an income. Tus upon receiving my transfer, I used KES 30,000 in paying school fees for my son. I then used KES 7500 in buying building material so that I could construct a decent kitchen since the one that I had was leaking. Lately, I used the remaining amount in buying foodstuffs and clothes. I am soo grateful for the support that changed our living standards."
