Unconditional Cash: Empowering Families
For Milton and Martha, raising three children as peasant farmers was a constant challenge. They dreamed of more – a small retail shop to serve their community, a thriving coffee business, and, most importantly, the ability to send their children to school. But school fees loomed large, and the family’s future felt uncertain.
With the unconditional cashtransfers they received, Milton and Martha were able to take the leap and open their retail shop, a much-needed resource for their neighbors.
They also invested in their existing coffee business, leading to increased production and income. They even purchased pigs, adding another dimension to their small farm.
And the best part? Their children are now happily attending school. Looking forward, Milton and Martha have their sights set on expanding their retail shop and building a permanent house for their family.
