"The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough money to pay school fees for my children and repair my outdoor kitchen which doubles up as a bedroom for my children. If I am unable to raise enough cash my children might drop out of school and also continue sleeping in the dilapidated kitchen cum bedroom. "

Sara
received a $483 second payment.
"My life has really improved. I am no longer poor and people now respect in the village. I can now talk where people are and people can now pay me a visit. I was the village subordinate, everyone could run to me whenever they needed someone to work on their farms or needed firewood or charcoal because this is the only source of income. Thanks to Gd I now look like a human being and I'm praying so that one day I'll also be in a position to employ one to work on my farm too. This is the biggest difference in my daily life."
