Millicent received a $463 third payment.
"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer because, I have made a lot of steps. First, it enabled me to clear all my outstanding debts that were giving me sleepless night; since I settled the debts, I sleep more peacefully. Again, I have acquired a better house-it is bigger enough to accommodate all my household members-it is properly ventilated as opposed to my former one that denied us privacy and comfort we needed in life and lastly, I have been able to educate my child more easily-I never walked, begging from people to support me enroll him in a technical college."

"The biggest difference in my life is that I now own cow which is almost reproducing a young one and this is a great investment since I will soon be having my own milk and I would not be spending on buying milk.
