Dama received a $510 initial payment.
"I spent part of my first transfer in buying some building materials such as building poles, iron sheets, nails, and timber. This was for an additional one room to my house since it only had two rooms which couldn't accommodate some of my family members. Later on, I paid the mason KES 5000 as the labor charge. Also, I bought a dairy worthy of KES 15000 which I have been admiring to own for quite some time. In addition, I paid school fees for my children and bought new uniforms to replace the old ones. The amount of the money that had remained, I bought enough food for the family."
