Everline received a $455 third payment.
"I have a son in secondary school, and I am glad he is going to sit his final exams this year, so when I received my third transfer, I cleared all his arrears. I am so happy he does not have any arrears carried forward to the next year. The remaining I spent on buying building materials that I used to construct a kitchen where I can cook from. Previously I had to cook outside and the weather was not so friendly. All the dust, and the dirt and sometimes when it rained I do not cook for my family. I now have a kitchen where I can cook from comfortably without the worry of eating dirty food or even being rained on."
