Shadrack
received a $485 initial payment.
"I had been contemplating on constructing a new house since I didn't have a lump sum amount of money. With the first transfer I received, I bought iron sheets, timber, and nails at a cost of Kshs.30,000.The ongoing house construction of the house will serve me for the longest time and with the growth of my young family, it will be able to accommodate all of us. I also bought a cow worth Kshs.20,000 which we are currently milking two liters per day. Am so grateful because before we use to purchase milk daily at a high cost and it was not enough for my family members. With the remaining amount, we spent on buying food and clothes for my entire household."
