Betty
received a $404 third payment.
"My life is different because i cleared school fees for my children and most importantly invested in farming with the transfers i received and by doing so I am sure continued income with which i will educate my children and this wouldn't be the case if I hadn't received because my children were failing to acquire education since they were always being sent home for school fees and I would feel bad because there isn't a thing I could do about it without money."
