Betty
received a $471 initial payment.
"The biggest difference is that I have been raised up from poverty. I could hardly afford decent clothes for the family. For instance at onetime, we had no lighting in the house especially at night. Snakes and wild insects could attack us at night and there was nothing we could do due to poor lighting in the house. I am glad that we acquired a solar power system that provides abundant lighting in the house. I also acquired additional pieces of farm land which will improve our food production."
