Sellinah received a $484 second payment.
"For a long time now, I have wished that I could get money that would enable me finish building my house. Currently, it does not have a door. At night, my family has to endure the stinging cold. This situation is especially dehumanising for us because we have an infant who is just four months old, and we sleep on the floor because we don't have a bed. This is why I plan on spending KES 10,000 to install a door, so that we can keep warm. I will then spend KES 35,000 to buy a dairy cow. Owning one will enable us to have a constant supply of milk for use at home, and we can also sell some to earn money. The remaining amount will be used to buy a bed for the family, so that we can sleep comfortably."
