Stephen received a $538 initial payment.
"My spouse had traveled to her matrimonial home with the transfer phone and sim to take care of her ailing brother, so I didn't know when the money was sent. I only heard the news from my friends. Later I called the spouse to check whether she had received the money, and she confirmed to me that she already received it. I felt happy and the first thing I told her was to send me some cash so that I could also go check on her ailing brother whom she was taking care of."

If I get this money I will start my own so that I be independent and also have stable income to sustain myself. Secondly, I will go to school and acquired more skills on business entrepreneurship so that I can have exact knowledge on how to sustain a business and grow to an extend that I can create employment and also live a descent life than where I am now. Lastly, I will also pay house rent with this money because sometimes it's a challenge I don't get enough for my rent and therefore my landlord comes to threaten to close my door and kick me out so I would love to have a piece of mind where I stay.
