Leah
received a $483 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that currently, I live more comfortably in a better house. I don't need to be worried of being rained on plus my household members. My former grass-thatched house was leaky and most of the time, I could be stressed up especially when rainy season was inevitable."

Julias
received a $483 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I no longer live in an earthed house. It is good to live in a cemented house since it comes with peace and health benefits-I am not exposed to excessive dusts and again, I don't need to smear all the time to maintain it."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that currently, I live more comfortably in an iron-roofed house where I am not being rained on. My former one was grass-thatched and therefore it was really leaking on us especially during long-rain seasons-this time, life could be very difficult."
