Kiprotich
received a $468 second payment.
"I built a one bedroom house out of corrugated iron sheets and bought one cow. The cow set me back Kes. 17, 000, though it will take a year to start producing milk. Milk will be selling for Kes. 40 per litre. This will serve as a good source of income to complement what we already have and cater for our 2 kids who are in Grade 5 and Grade 2. With expenses like their Kes. 300 per term and Kes. 200 per term, respectively, school fees, any extra income to assist with bills is always welcome."
