Rose
received a $482 third payment.
"I spent my third transfer to buy two dairy cows and sheep. My cows have been providing me with milk so I no longer take black tea. I also sell the milk from my cows to make some money which has really helped me to pay school fees for my children. I am now capable of handling any financial emergency because I have livestock which I can sell to earn money."

Rose
received a $531 second payment.
"There is really a big difference in that I have been able to establish a poultry farming and my children are well set to study. With the poultry business, I am able to generate some revenue and pay school fees and meet other household needs. This was not the case before I started receiving the transfers. I used to work a janitor and money earned was too little to sustain my household."
