Kache
received a $28 sixth payment.
"The provision of nutrients in my home is my first priority. This is due to the fact that we have been suffering from drought for a number of years, which has caused bad harvests and put us in a nearly starvation-like situation. In addition, I want to make a future investment and acquire a few additional goats and chickens."
