Charles received a $484 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I live a stress free life. I was always weighed down by the issue of school fee for my daughter. In most cases she used to be home due to fee and this had a negative impact on her performance but since I settled her fee and always remain in school, I'm hopeful that she will perform better. Apart from that, I strongly believe that I'll get adequate yield from my farm which will be sufficient for my family consumption. My family has been going hungry due to my inability to engage in better farming because of financial challenges."
