Jesska received a $465 third payment.
"I spent my third transfer on a solar panel and a goat. My children had been getting it hectic doing their homework and revising for examination especially at night being that they are day scholars and therefore I found it prudent to spend on the lighting system that has not only given them room to study but also enabled us to cut fuel cost-lighting with solar has been cheaper than with paraffin."
