Benjamin received a $317 second payment.
"Farming serves as my main source of income. Several months ago, I went through a separation from my wife, and as a result, she left me with our child. When I received my recent transfer of funds, I made a deliberate decision to invest in sheep and goat rearing. The goal was to create an additional income stream that could be used for potential emergencies and future school fees for my children. To kick-start the sheep and goat project, I spent $240. This investment was aimed at ensuring a stable and secure financial future for my family. Alongside that, I also used $75 to purchase barbed wire to expand and improve my house, while $57 went towards acquiring iron sheets for the same purpose. Finally, with the remaining amount, I bought essential food supplies for our daily needs. Before this opportunity, such expenses were out of reach for me due to financial constraints. The fact that I managed to achieve this goal within a relatively short period fills me with immense joy and satisfaction. Now, I feel more secure in my ability to provide for my family and take care of their needs, which brings a sense of relief and happiness."
