Fredrick
received a $464 third payment.
"I spent my third transfer on buying a second hand motor cycle for 53,000 KES( I had saved 6,000 KES from second transfer). My plan was to start a business , ferrying fish from the Lake and bringing home for processing and sale.However, I am yet to raise the capital for fish business. Otherwise the motor cycle supports me in travelling to the far off places whenever I get plastering work, and this way I save the amount that I would otherwise spend as fare."
