Terry
received a $469 third payment.
"I spent my third transfer on buying sheep that I am hoping will multiply and give me profits in the future. I also bought building materials that I used to construct a kitchen where I can cook from. Previously I could cook from my main house and most of the time the smoke was too much hindering my family from staying indoors .The remaining I spent on buying cushions for my seats and a few furniture."

Clement
received a $465 third payment.
"I used the whole of my third transfer to acquire a piece of land that we are planning to build our home and relocate to. Where we live currently, in my father's home, is very congested since there is no space for expansion. And since I would like to carry out farming, I would need more space for that before the year ends."
