Onyango
received a $195 initial payment.
"I have a sponsorship from an organization that pays part of my college fees, but raising the other part has always been a challenge because neither my mother nor I have a stable income . Receiving this money and paying part of the fees has taken a huge burden off our shoulders and given us a peace of mind as we know that the next transfers will go along way to help clear the balance."
