Everline
received a $467 third payment.
"I spent my last transfer on paying school fees for my child who used to be sent home each and every time for fee arrears. I now do not have stress on where to get money for paying her fees. The remaining part of the money I used in the expansion of my current house. My former house was so small and my family members and I used to squeeze ourselves in that small house; this was really uncomfortable. I also bought seats because formerly I never used to have proper seats in my house."
